Re: Stylus Show - Park Inn Heathrow, London 23rd and 24th April 2016

I should add, well done, Chris/ Hidden Systems and Roger/ Tiger Paw. It looked like a lot of hard work had gone into preparing the room and it paid off. Definitely an advantage to have taken out a suite as opposed to a pokey room - especially with the calibre of equipment on demo. Plenty of space fo...

Re: Stylus Show - Park Inn Heathrow, London 23rd and 24th April 2016

How did it sound, moog? This was my first time hearing Lejonklou, can you believe. When I arrived, the configuration was top spec LP12 into Sagatun monos and Klimax Solos. I did get to perve a Tundra2 mono up close, however, when Chris brought one over for me to stroke. So nice. I've said it before...

NOW SOURCED: Linn Lingo, I or II

hello, All
The Wakonda board has finally given up and despite Class-A's valiant attempts, no luck in resurrecting it. So I'm on the look-out for the next viable option - probably a Lingo I, or II if the price is right.
Please PM me if you have one lurking about... thanks kindly

Re: OPPO WITH LEJONKLOU

The difference between a Unidisk 1.1 and a Movie 05 in terms of picture quality is clear. The picture quality from a DVD is much more natural and detailed and the black stays black. But, I could also describe it with the following example. Simply Red at the Royal Albert Hall on DVD. Oppo gives a ve...

Re: LINN 5.0 Channel Active Speaker System FOR SALE. Black Ash. Boxed.

I shall follow with interest. I've mentioned the fact. series a couple times on both fora and noted your preference for twenty26's over the .12 [which are eye-wincingly expensive]. When the time comes, I look forward to a listen between both fact and twenty series. Then it'll be time to sell the 212...

Re: Balanced or standard interconnects?

So for transmitting unbalanced signals, I believe the unbalanced cable is better. That means for a RCA-to-XLR connection the unbalanced silver should be better. Definitely? I ask because Linn have a diagram that, I think, is for a Balanced cable: Single-ended_to_Balanced.jpg Perhaps someone who kno...

Re: Linn Akurate 212 MKII speakers for sale

I do not have stands for the 212's. But if it helps I have just learnt from contacts who have a lot more experience than me with HiFi, that 109 stands work extremely well with 212's, and possibly better than actual 212 stands. Majik 109 stands cost £ 190 new. This is what I have my 212s on, c/o Fre...

Re: Balanced or standard interconnects?

I have three sets of Linn Silver RCA to RCA 1.2m for my sources. I have a 4m cable made with Linn Balanced Silver wire with XLRs at the speakers (active) and RCAs at the preamp end. This was found by me to be more musical than XLR to XLR when coming out of the KK/1. It is, of course, now necessary ...
