Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

I just stated what I felt - and in the end what counts is the individual joy we have. I have never heard the Technics or the Rega or the LP12 in real life in an apples to apples comparison. The only thing I know is all of these 3 draw a decent fangroup so there must be a reason for it. I see your to...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

OK, this is fun, thanks for playing. ...I've listened to both several times now and have enjoyed your clip, you sure that's not the Technics turntable??, just kidding. My copy Btw is a new Classic Series, I's guessing yours is too?, a buddy of mine has a very early Blue Note that's obviously "crisp...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

John thank you for the clip you convinced me to try a new a new belt on mine too - I surely didnt expected it to be making such a difference.

Re: Subwoofer

yeah I can subscribe to that - I came here as kind of an enemy at the time when the Linn Forum was going down. I never looked back - soo much development and improvement of my music experience in 3-4 years which I didnt had all 30years before and I would still walk that way - so thank you Linn! But ...

YYY sounds most in tune and flows best and it goes down in this order

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

thats interesting - I was also leaning to B2 for the flow which I had problems with A1
A Linn LP12 should be the clear winner but it’s obviously not. I dont think the age of the belt is the issue.
Maybe direction and side of the belt but still with all things wrong I would expect the LP12 to win

Re: Paradigm Founder 120H

I have Sagatun Monos and got the cables build out of Linn Blacks from Tom in the US. Yes they should give you a pretty good idea what the 708 can do. They are very sensitive to set up especially hight and distance to wall and distance between them. I am sitting about 3-3.5meters away. Did think of t...

Re: Paradigm Founder 120H

my room is about 4.12m by 7.00m with a hight of 2.5m there is an effect which I realised when I switched to them from the Dynaudios. The Dynaudio sounded bold and authoritative even when I was one floor up whereas with the JBL308 I kind to need to sit at the listening place to feel the same. But tha...

Re: Källa is now shipping

I really hope that component shortage is only temporary and the part missing is something that can be sourced again. I press my thumbs that you dont have to get to the drawing board to work around that component. BMW is already buying refrigerators to source their parts to be able to deliver cars. S...

Re: Paradigm Founder 120H

uups I didnt checked your current equipment and I can surely understand that you want to hold on to them. Yes the JBLs are fully active. There is an extensive thread here in the Hifi section little lower. I know Tom has an opinion about the Sonus Fabers. If I remember right he really liked them unti...

Re: Paradigm Founder 120H

both are nice and big - I like the Sonus Faber style and finish. Typical outstanding Italian design - thats what Italians are known for. If you are really into music I would try the JBL 308p (MK I) first (not very much of an investment) if you like it and can live with the design think about the JBL...

seems there is another fan of the Källa ;) congratulation to your purchase and enjoy - have you been the one who put a wooden skin around your JBL‘s or do I mix people up?
If yes what happened to the JBLs

Re: Recommended control points

its hard to say what is worth to you but lets say it this way:
some people are happy to spend the same amount of money (IPad mini) for interconnects and power cables and are happy with the improvement

… and you can use an IPad mini for more than just a controll point

Re: New Linn Launch 2022

I dont think Renew - Renew was never upgradable to those kind of upgrades.
any info on the pricepoint anyone?

I think the upgrade will buy you a Källa.

Re: New Linn Lunch 2022

I heard Linn realised that Källa smokes the Klimax and since they don’t want that market stolen from them they entered into agreement with Fredrik so they can use Fredriks technology … actually it is just the Källa in a Klimax casing. Name is Klimax Orgazmic K Price is supposed to be around 45.000Eu...

Re: Recommended network components

You’ll find that David Neel and myself heard a sound improvement only. Musically, DN experienced a downgrade and I was unsure. I’m still keeping an open mind and plan to experiment more over the coming weeks. with the Amplifi HD‘s I feel I can much more easily discern differences even between BJ Ca...

Re: Recommended network components

Re: Recommended network components

I agree with all who voted for Purple which is the Purple from the comparison White => Purple In the room I have the feeling the bridge mode pronounced something which I didnt like with Purple - a sense of restlessness which I hear even more when switching to bridge mode.
