I don't think that tunefulness is a function of accuracy of pitch reproduction, except in a few cases. Because some products that are not very tuneful can't in any way be shown to alter the pitch of what they reproduce. Most likely, both tweak A and tweak B will result in a less tuneful amplifier. ...

Hi Vic, re: the last modification to the Klout - "Capacitor added to Transformer connector on main board to improve the Klout's immunity to electromagnetic emissions. This improved the sound quality. " When I used Klouts, they had been updated by Linn, apart from this mod (and BFA sockets). When I l...

My torque driver starts at .5Nm. Ok for for most things but the armboard at .3-.4Nm is a bit too low for it. I was thinking of using the .5Nm setting and then easing back a touch (1/16 of a turn?). Mike Mike, I wouldn't. There is always some small amount of variation in the accuracy of torque drive...

Good luck and it would be good to know how you get on at House of Linn. Might be worth a visit to their Komri room if they still have it - not many places you can hear a £100,000s worth of Komri's fully aktiv with Klimax Solo's etc. Yes, they do and have remodelled it over the Christmas period, so ...

Thirty years on it is refreshing to know that we are still discovering new musical vistas. Yes and imagine what 30 years on DS technology AND 30 more on vinyl will bring! Yep, I don't think we are anywhere near the end of the trail with either of these, yet. I think Linn will continue to astound us...

Re: Hierarchy of LP12 components
Therefore a Cirkus/Keel/Akito/Adikt should outperform an Cirkus/Ekos SE/Akiva. Also, not sure where the plinth, Trampolin and table or rack fit in the list, but presume before the arm and cartridge??? :? Hi Charlie, I think I made a very similar suggestion in a thread when the Keel first appeared a...

Re: Linn Bananas
The obvious question for me is, "where did you get them from?"
They certainly don't look like Linn bananas to me.

Linn quoted him 450GBP to fix Is the old orange display a no no? The fixed service charge for a Kairn with SMPS is £300 inc VAT in the UK - it sounds like he has been quoted for a power supply upgrade. If it's sent in for a service, they should do what is necessary to get it working for the fixed p...

Well, as far as I'm aware, the physics hasn't changed so it still applies. Dealers still do single speaker demonstrations. However, my system is in a living room, so I wouldn't be without a phone or the TV. I have taken care to fix any rattles - china, doors etc.which I think has more of an impact '...

Hi Axel - I've installed the new version and it's definitely an improvement - Leia now 'sees' both my DS and the media server every time I start it, which wasn't the case with the last version. I know it's an early release, but I have one small problem - if I double-tap 'album' from the top screen ...

My setup is staggered: the KK is my main pre-amp. The CD12 and the left-front and right-front of an Exotik+DA go into that. The Exotik-input on the KK is set to fixed volume. The Exotik services - Squeezebox (S/PDIF) - HD-DVD (Toslink) - Tvix 6500 (S/PDIF) - PVR (S/PDIF) - TV (analog) Works pretty ...

I am using Leia DS as we speak and I must say, two thumbs up. What does it do...it lets you play songs....that's it, but wait, that's all I really want it to do......all other stuff is just icing on the cake Agreed, I'd just like to thank Sommerfee for all the effort that he has put into this.

Linntek, I can't see any problem or benefit in doing this. There's no problem with driving unequal lengths of K600 - that's what I do with my aktiv Kabers/Klouts. Neither is there a problem with mixing the aktiv cards within power amps (I'm sure I've done that with Keltiks and 4 Klouts when I was in...
