Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

I've never had a satisfactory answer to the question whether 'room modes' (which I understand as referring to distortions caused by the interaction of the music source with the room in which it is played) are dependent on volume level. My experience has been that SO settings that may improve the so...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

Is it my stupidity, but I cannot find anywhere in the new scheme of things to put in the height of the speaker stands, i.e distance from bottom of speaker to the floor. Anyone found this? Or do they now reckon this is not now significant. And, calculations will not work at all today.... Donuk sunny...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

Should we start a new thread purely to discuss the new SO, which appears to be called V2, as none of us here appear interested in Selekt?

I suppose the big question is “when is the Exakt version coming?” Will it be weeks or months?

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

Hi Donald, 1. I don’t know the answer, but what’s wrong with having to use Kazoo to assign a new system? It’s only one more app to have installed, you don’t have to use it for anything else and, I assume, you won’t add new systems very often. 2. My understanding of the new SO is that it now allows y...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

I updated my software last night so I've got the pins. I can't see any use for these within Kazoo, other than perhaps assigning a pin to a specific radio station. So I could have a Radio Paradise pin, instead of having to go to all the trouble of selecting the Radio input AND THEN having to select ...

Re: New Linn Forum

I’d be quite happy if they dropped the Third Party section, there are other forums more suited. I don’t think it does Linn any favours and, in my opinion, attracts too many of the “my only piece of Linn is a pre-cirkus LP12 with no baseboard and I don’t understand Tunedem” variety.

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

Charly, surely the whole idea is that, with a comprehensively modelled room, you won’t have filters which need to be dropped, or custom filters which need to be created. I’ve had a cursory read through the instruction manual and am really impressed with the options they’ve introduced. Should you be ...

It looks very comprehensive, looking forward to the Exakt version. I imagine it will reduce Paulsurround’s air miles somewhat.

Absolutely. A small but very significant point which, I feel, can often escape some of the naysayers.
