Thanks Sunbeamgls, I really apprecaite the kind remarks. My neighnors have learned how to be friendly, over time. Initially when I built my house, they weren't very friendly regarding my music playing activities. But they are very understanding now days! The plinth is Movingui wood, and made by Chri...

Great looking kitchen, as is the Linn system!

Nice looking system and great pictures too! Have fun listening!

This has to be the best HiFi Shop commercial by a Linn dealer for a long time! http://vimeo.com/41852792 Using humor reminds me of the old Linn ads. I think a sense of humor is a very effective tool in communicating with potential customers. This commercial is very entertaining (in a good way) and ...

Here is another view of the Khan top plate, which can be seen under the platter.

Just had the new Khan top plate installed over the weekend. It was a major sonic improvement overall, but the bass frequencies are much deeper and cleaner, and the midrange frequencies are more defined, which makes voices more human sounding now. Pictures of the new Khan top plate, the original Linn...

The new Khan top plate finally arrived last week, and was installed by ThomasOK. I tried several times to post pictures, but it was always an invalid entry. So, maybe in the future the system will let me post pictures. (Note: just tried again, will see if they are posted) In any case, the Khan does ...

As a follow-up to the information below, I replaced the furniture in my music room. It was a beautiful Early American style, but seemed to restrict the sound of my audio system (although it took awhile for me to notice). So, it was replaced with modern leather furniture, and the sound quality really...

On their home page, Tiger-Paw links to Hi-Fi World's review of the Khan, from November 2011. http://www.tiger-paw.com/index.html As useful as a bucket of sand in Sahara. From the needle drops I have heard the standard top plate is better Appreciate the information, thanks! I'll be able to listen to...

It shouldn't be very long now, before I get a chance to hear the new Khan top plate. And if it sounds as good as described by many other audiophiles, it will certainly be installed.

No matter the results, further information will be provided.

Thanks everybody form the information on the Radikal.

Glad you got the information, good luck!

ThomasOK has the exact torque settings for all fourteen screws, and there is a post on this forum which contains this information. I hae searched but cant fint the thread anybody ho can help?

During the years of my first Klyde cartridge, it sounded great and I didn't feel the need to upgrade to a more expensive moving coil cartridge. But eventually I purchsed a Linn Linto phono preamplifier, and decided to try an Akiva cartridge at the same time. Since then, my deck has been significantl...

Hello Charlie, How long have you owned the current Akiva cartridge? My first Akiva lasted around five or six years. My second Akiva lasted nine months, before the right channel went bad. HELP! My Akiva has been judged to have seen the best of its life. A bit like its owner probably :O( Some people s...

Charlie1 wrote:Many thanks Tony!

You're very welcome Charlie1...have a great weekend!

Sorry Tony, I did not make myself clear. I meant in terms of the sound improvement. I wasn't sure if it was your deck or not, but it could have been someone who'd never had a service from Thomas before and therefore the deck may have benefited in other ways (i.e. torque settings) in addition to the...

Charlie1 wrote:Thanks Tony - a good find!

However, I now wonder if the plinth was the only change or if it was fitted as part of a service too.

At the time my plinth was fitted, the price did include labor.

Here's a post from this particular thread regarding the sound of Woodsong plinths. Not sure if this helps with your question Charlie1. I recently received an email from a good customer who purchased one of the custom plinths from me. He gave me permission to post his comments here. "My turntable is ...

Thanks for the information Lejonklou. I have some experience with power amplifiers, including how a good quality medium powered unit can perform better than a high powered unit. The only intent of my question was to know the power ratings into eight ohm and four ohm speakers. Some speakers require a...

Tundra is 350 mm wide and 350 mm deep. Front plate is 61 mm high. Total height will depend on the feet, which are currently being evaluated (by ear, not by eye). It's a stereo amp and it's geared towards all HiFi loudspeakers. Thanks for the information Lejonklou. What are the power ratings into an...

mrco99 wrote:Sorry Tony, these are the dimensions of the Renew DS, not the Tundra.
Don´t know anymore than you...;-)

Thank you, I was just curious about the type of speakers these amplifiers would be geared towards.

Dimensions are approx Wide 320mm x Depth 275mm x Height 50mm including the feet and the phono connectors on the back. Stunning looking power amp btw, I love that industrial design without text and such. If there comes a matching wide version of the Kikkin with more inputs, maybe even a phono board ...

Since my Sondek had to be packed-up and taken to the shop for a cartridge replacement, I took the time to better organize my power cords, interconnects and speaker cable. Overall, they were okay but I was able to get all the interconnects and power cables completely elevated off the floor. This effo...
