Re: Charlie1's System
I'm still sat on the fence tbh. Agree, the 12/160 is more musical, less thick in the midrange too, but I also wonder if it's struggling to keep it all together at times, plus it sounds a bit ragged which kind of makes the polished sound of the Krystal a bit wasted. I think I will have to try the 42...

Re: Charlie1's System
On early saras the XLR socket required the plug to enter horizontally, it was suggested that the metal case work was removed in order to get them closer to the wall. Surprisingly removing the metal case improved the sound. Later Sara's had a right angled socket, but most customers still removed the ...

Re: Streaming service
An example of good qobuz and 24 bit is zero 7 track called swimmers, perhaps a lot depends on how and when the data has been uploaded.

Re: Streaming service
Here is a screenshot of my desktop app settings (the cash has to be cleared frequently); you can also play with the buffer size... Thanks Matteo! I played with the settings in Qobuz yesterday and it seemed the music improved slightly with everything set to zero. I then compared a couple of tracks w...

Re: Four years in the making
I suspect that Spotify is not well implemented in the Dsm. I always found it awful. I have also another doubt: can Spotify sounds different from Country to Country? You pre empted my thoughts.

Re: Digital Sources: Is the LP the best digital source?
I don't think I will renew my Qobuz hi res account - it just doesn't seem worth it. Waiting for Spotify HiFi? Matt I will definitely give it a go. Anyone else listening to Radio Paradise FLAC streams and comparing to other services? If I had to keep either Qobuz or RP, it would be a no-brainer: Rad...

I hope the new Klimax DSM sounds fantastic and that it is great success for Linn. I do however hope that Linn continue to provide a high quality streamer between Selekt (£6000) and the new Klimax DSM (£30000) a role currently filled with KDS3 and the old KDSM at around £17000.

Re: Bi-amping Kan II
that is great. Thanks for the quick feedback! That just saved me a bit. I am afraid I cannot afford the Klimax twin. I am not familiar with the Lejonklou Tundra but I guess it is in the same price league. What about bi-wiring from the one Klout? I had the kan's bi-wired with kimber cables and then ...

Re: Bi-amping Kan II
I am thinking of adding a Klout amplifier to my setup to be used for bi-amping my Kan II speakers. Does anyone have experience on this and whether it is worth the investment? Also, I have read the term "quinwiring" used several times in this forum. Can someone explain what this means and what is re...

Re: Akurate/0 upgrade to Akurate/3 katalyst
Upgrading ADS/0 ti ADS/3 costs 2200 euro and involves changing boards and backpanel I've been told. Seems ok in the Linn world. There are some used ADSM for sale. If a ADSM3/3 is used with Boazu, is it still possible to select all the inputs on the DSM and pass on to Boazu? Yes if you disable the i...

Re: Unidisk SC, Kisto or Kairn
Hi I am considering replacing my Unidisk SC with a Kisto or Kairn as preamp to my Klout. I am not convinced with the Unidisk’s preamp performance. I am looking into a MC phono stage as well for my LP12/Ittok/Troika. The Kairn, which is supposed to have an excellent MM/MC phono stage, has the advant...

Hi Today, my Klimax 320a arrived - they are upgraded Artikulats (which I knew, perfectly fine with me). This little sticker on the back says „upgraded to Klimax 320a“. They also have a Dynamic power supply. That said: I am a bit confused, since the manual for the Klimax 320a on Linn Docs shows diff...

Re: Streaming service
Here’s the Spotify Vs Qobuz clips. https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B12GWZuqDuNCULd Qobuz is streamed directly into the DS. Spotify is streamed wirelessly to an iPad, then AirPlay’d to the DS. This is the most convenient way of using Spotify with a DS, but not necessarily the best for sound qual...
