Why is it better ? i thourgt it was the same type of wire inside.[/quote]

For one thing, in K400 and K600 the wires are twisted together along the entire length. I believe this has a big effect.

If at least you can get gapless playback to work and have the DS continue playing music while the Nokia sleeps that will be more than enough for me to buy the Nokia and pay you a fee for the software!!! :mrgreen: I've been using Leia DS for a couple of weeks and gapless playback definitely works as...

That's a useful website. I see there is a reference to the Nokia N800 "The Nokia Media Streamer has a known bug where it can stop playing continuously after the screen has turned off when the application has been used heavily for a long period of time. If this happens simply restarting the Media Str...

Linn are now including the following advice in the DS Upgrade: "If after upgrading the DS player you find that it is not operating as it should, open the Linn Config, select the DS player, select the Advanced Configure tab and take a note of all the settings. Press the Restore Defaults button. Wait ...

Before reporting this to Linn, anyone else having similar issues? I haven't seen any of these issues, but I have had some strange behaviour from my Klimax Kontrol Kontrol no longer starts up at default volume, despite it clearly showing in the user options and Linnconfig. If you watch the display c...

One thing i have noticed and that is that as soon as i touch the n800 it starts playing again like it goes into sleep mode after one song. thanks Cremona, this seems to happen sometimes with the N800 and I still haven't worked out what causes it, but, usually, closing down the N800 and rebooting wi...

Finally, Linn appear to have pulled together all the useful information about setting up DS etc.

Would you really expect this to Tune Dem better than a more evenly balanced spread of finances... Actually, yes, I think I would. If I was starting from scratch with that budget and only wanted one source, that would be the first system I'd want to hear. IMHO the Klimax DS is THE best source compon...

Quick question;will I get more life out of my Kremlin if I leave it on, or switch it off and on everyday? Many thanks Leo Interesting question Leo. Does it have a Brilliant switchmode? I only ask because I had a Numerik which was left switched on for about 12 years, only switched off during long ho...

News for Nokia N800/810 owners: Finally a beta version of Canola2 with UPnP support is out: http://www.marceloeduardo.com/blog/ As far as I can see so far, this doesn't yet control upnp media renderers (ie a DS) other than the Nokia device itself. I've installed Canola2 Beta9 and the Upnp add-on an...

Music Lover - given that you've left yours playing 24/7 and mine has "only" been used for about 12 hours a day, your findings tie in with mine. I've had Klimax DS and Kontrol since February and I think things have improved enormously in the past two weeks - all the things you mention, but especially...

A Pleasure - glad you enjoyed the experience and you've gained in the process.

Are the DS products effected by the connection quality between the DS itself and the PC? I'm thinking about RJ-45 cable type and number/type of intermittent devices (i.e. switches and routers). Only in that the connection works or it doesn't. It's "only" data being passed, not an analogue signal, a...

As I'm using all the inputs in my Kontrol (there's a surprise!) I'm looking for a switching box which will allow me to combine and switch between things like TV and Squeezebox and have this connected to the Kontrol, via an 8m lead. I've looked at things like QED's IX20, but does anyone have any reco...

Indeed it will make a difference, but I wouldn't expect it to be as big as moving the speaker 30 cms initially. Obviously if you're happy to fit the spikes after every move, then go for it.

It will be interesting to hear what advice is forthcoming from others, but nothing about your current positioning sounds wrong to me. If you do go ahead and experiment this weekend though, I would suggest the following approach: Set xovers to flat Check that allen bolts holding the drive units are t...

Album art on Nokia N800 - this is something to do with the way that Twonky handles PNG files and is reportedly fixed at version 4.4.4. I haven't tried this yet.

I have noticed that the Nokia shows artwork if the file is a jpeg.

JohnS,

congratulations - the DS is wonderful isn't it? Music just swings and seems "right". I find myself listening to things that have never been played for years and have yet to play anything I didn't enjoy.

:D

'Troll

Hugo, how dreadful for you. This system should astonish, not disappoint! What does your dealer think of the performance? With the greatest of respect, your comments about the differences suggest that you are expecting a big hifi "wow" with the DS, rather than listening to how much more natural it is...

Yeah, I don't think anyone here insists on using exclusively Linn (although I do) - just that you've chosen by listening to the tunes and not the "hifi"

'Troll

ThomasOK, you're absolutely correct, I'd missed the point that it was single channel fault. Klaus - don't think of it in terms of power or watts - what the Klout delivers is "control" and the treble unit is actually the most demanding in this respect as, due to the minute distances travelled, there ...

Here's a thought...

Does the Tune-Dem criteria apply to setting up PA systems and stage amps - both position and EQ used?

From some of the dire results I've heard, I would say it does.

'Troll

Klaus,

are you using the Klout with a Kairn and using the "auto-switch-on" using the remote IN/OUT loop? If so, I have seen a loose connection here cause the switch on/off as the amp casing heats up. Especially if non-Linn phonos are used on that lead.

'Troll

No, the DS's only use TwonkyMedia.

Hi folks,

I currently have three Klouts which are stacked on the floor and want to move them into a rack of some kind to separate them out vertically. Any of you recommend anything I should look at that will be available in the UK and won't cost me a fortune?
