Re: Majik 109 Modification

Hi, I did this upgrade earlier this year, after having come across a second hand pair of Excel woofers. I'm very satisfied. Easily put: It sounds like a much more expensive speaker. (Which it sort of is, I guess...) I'm running them on an Exaktbox-I Thanks to the original poster for the idea! https...

Re: Majik 109 Modification

I wonder if this mod would work in the ninkas as well. Aren the mid/bass units almost identical. May not be worth the cost of the seas drivers. Curious! No they're a different size and material, but there are SEAS mid-bass drivers that do fit the Ninkas perfectly in a physical sense. In fact Linn p...

Re: Is that a Linn felt mat or are you just pleased to see me?

I'm surprised at the lack of comments on the design here. I've been following it a bit on the PFM and Naim forums. Still curious why the platter needs to be so high - is that something to do with the magnetic bearing do you think? Can't say I'm overly hopeful it's a deck I'd enjoy listening to but ...

Does it have the surround module? Just interested in the price value of versions with the module.

Re: Sunbeam's Rig

I can see that you dumped the Akurate Kontrol 0 for Linn's recent surround module for the DS players. What is you opinion on that upgrade when it comes to playing music DVDs? Essentially, I don't play music DVDs per se. I don't like the falseness of the surround processing on most music disks. For ...

Good point Thomas - I need to add that. I went with a used Rega Fono - given that I play vinyl about 3 times per year at most, just needed something functional but respectable.

My analogue source has been outclassed by the rest of the system for at least a decade.

It’s about time Sunbeam. You’ve been listening to a mullet for far too long!

Re: Sunbeam's Rig

Source first and all that... Akurate Exakt DSM has made way for a Klimax System Hub (2020) which has been a nice lift up in the easiness with which the music is produced by the system, particularly noting a pleasing solidity to the bass lines, more defined in driving the tune along. Nice :) https://...

Re: Linn Klimax DSM Organik, impressions

Different speaker designs have this problem(*) to a different degree. Some try to combat it by physically shifting the elements (see for example PMC's designs that "lean backwards"), but from what I've read the problem is fundamentally unavoidable in an analog design. This is not why speaker design...

Re: Linn Klimax DSM Organik, impressions

Hearing acoustical instruments perform live incorporates the same effect. Higher frequencies travels faster. In fact, a good symphony orchestra compensates this effect to a certain degree by having the double basses being slightly "pushy" in there playing. The same in a jazz quartet, with the bass ...
