Is there an original Linn packing carton with this, please?
- thanks

But this is very interesting, for Keel money you can get Kore+Booplinth.

Excellent point - thank you

Forum member, Bugi666 has just posted a very interesting - and entertaining - review of a recent audition between KDS/1 and KDS/2, with and without a KK/1 on Linn's DS forum. I've pulled the section that I feel is most relevant to this discussion. (Worth noting that the KDS/2 is fairly new and may b...

Genuinely a pleasure, James - great to read your first impressions. Here starts the journey that will have you and your closest occasionally questioning your sanity and savings account but enjoying a huge sense of satisfaction with each upgrade. LK-100 → Katan is a respectable launch point. Kikkin a...

These are really good trade-in prices, Chris

- forgive my curiosity but what happens to the old gear... melted down into recycled ingots?

Nice promo !

I just sold off my bunch of LK-85s & -100 yesterday......
ha hah.... gotta laugh

rcmc77 - not sure if you checked the FAQs on the Hamonihyllan website, where it says: How can the Harmonihyllan be optimized both for an LP12 and a DS? "It is not exactly optimized for a particular device - but rather an "electro-mechanical device that plays music" Even a DS consists of mechanical c...

^^ Very nice ^^

Well, you have the advantage of a dealer with a pair of 225s that he can potentially loan you to trial at home.

Like this idea a lot - although I haven't heard the combination, of course.

If and when you go ahead, please let us know how it sounds.
What are you currently using for speaker output?

ha hah!! I did make a mental note....

Enjoyed reading that, Ozzzy - cheers

Superbly detailed breakdown of the evening, macrotech - thank you. On a more personal approach, did you sense much difference between your 242s and the Akubarik? i know Chris stated akubariks but They were akudoriks. Thanks, Anthony and macrotech for correcting me on this - as evidenced in the pic

"Tears for Fears - Woman in Chains" - impeccable choice

Through a LP12 SE? Would love to have heard that.

So you switched between Sagatun Mono and KK/2? Then into Tundra Stereo 2, Mono 2 and alternating w. Solo/d.

Listener feedback, pls.....

Eagerly awaiting listener feedback.........

hmmm, As requested, I sent a message - indicating in my Sent messages folder as: "Sent: 2015-05-06 22:17" And the recipient's name remains in red. Shall I assume that means it hasn't been read/ received yet? Hi moog! Unread messages stay in the Outbox. When messages appear in the Sentbox, they have...

I might have solved it. At least it works for me now. Please note that the standard setting is that no emails are sent out, so check this in your User Control Panel: Open User Control Panel Go to Board Preference Choose Edit Notification Options At the bottom of the page, you have "Someone sends yo...

OP, also worth noting that, as of yesterday - 15th May '15 - Linn has announced the 225 is to be discontinued after existing stock runs out

Interesting idea - do you mean somewhere in between the performance of 212s (slightly lacking in the bass) and hefty pricing level of an Akubarik (or 242s)? I have a 225mkII (alongside 212mkIIs) which replaced a M112 and the first thing I noticed was the improvement in lower frequencies. However, to...

Would anyone like to update this with their own responses/ experience, please

Pair of 25th Anniversary-badged LK-85s.

Maybe I'll get a response this time !

I did send my cdplayer to Linn again and I have got a mail from them, they agree that unit doesn't sound as good as th reference unit. They have replaced all major components on the analogue output stage - DAC, opamps, mute FETs, static protection diodes. Yes, please let us know if you're satisfied...

How you love to tantalise us with these discreet nuggets

Hi, me again :) 10 days of 24/7 running in and during three rather short occasions I have heard the true beauty of Mono2. As I previously said, it's the most musical amp I ever had the privilege hearing! When I try to describe the qualities, it's ONE WORD that I'm getting back to over and over agai...
