Currently, 1 Euro = 1.4206 Dollars... :shock: And it looks like the British Pound is approximately 0.84 to one Euro currently :? .

Thanks to both of you for the interesting information and logical opinions. Based on the current Linn product line, they don't look back. Although there are former Linn products which still perform very well, and certainly compete with many current audio components. It will be interesting to see wha...

You can definitely rule out "the" Isobarik speaker, Tony. What's likely to surface are completely new designs, with only the Isobarik bass loading principle in common with the original. That is interesting Lejonklou, do you think the price would be fair to customers, or will they be pushing towards...

Have you tried placing your LP12 away from the corner? Might bring further improvements... Yes, the turntable and audio rack location were in the reverse order, originally. However, the turntable was more stable in it's current location. The turntable is actually six inches away from both walls, bu...

Re: Plinth

Just replaced my Afromosia plinth with a Movingui plinth, made by Chris. It is a very well made product, and the finish is essentially perfect. While it can be difficult to describe how a product sounds, the first area of sonic improvement was voices. Basically voices are more human sounding and ly...

Re: Linn Isobarik

Using a set of passive Linn Isobarik speakers, from the ninties and still enjoy their performance. Ultimatley, it's the Sondek turntable that keeps me happy with the Isobariks. As I upgrade the turntable, the speakers continue to sound better. However, the power amplifier being used seems to be a g...

There have been some comments from various individuals regarding how the new Dynamik power supply sounds in the Akurate Radikal. The term was "gobsmacking :!: "

I'm guessing that's a positive statement :?: Although I'm not really sure how to quantify that statement 8) .

So far Linn is saying that there will not be a metalwork swap available for the Radikal or Uphorik. While I think it should be physically possible to make this change to the Radikal and Uphorik I certainly don't think it would be worth it from a musical point of view even if Linn did offer it.

Thanks Tony.
