It's not often I feel confident enough to Post in a Thread alongside such names as Fredrik, Thomas and Ozzy but I'd like to offer this extract from the very excellent book "COMPLETE GUIDE TO HIGH END AUDIO" by Robert Harley: - Pitfalls of Becoming a Critical Listener There are dangers inherent in de...

And it's a +1 from me for Radio Paradise.

Couldn't agree more Peter - my own take on this and why I turned off Linn Jazz in particular is that it had become Radio Claire Martin, a second rate club singer in my opinion, along with the equally tedious Joe Stilgoe! Risking Moderation by Fredrik (it's your Forum and I respect that) I posted man...

More correctly (perhaps), SO adapts the way the system is playing the music. And the system includes the room. What I find slightly bemusing here, is that there is a view that SO is universally bad. SO can be bad, because its not perfect. Just like every other component in the chain between perform...

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. Noted - just as long as ". .. you don’t have to use it for anything...

Thanks Dobie - that's very reassuring.

I was confused by the sentence "When dragging corners and walls they will snap to the current grid size; adjacent walls will also prefer to snap to a 90 degree angle."

Looking forward to the new SO+ for Exakt systems ... but when?

Like many others I'm stuck waiting for the new SO+ for Exakt systems so thought I'd give the new documentation a quick read though. Certainly seems much more comprehensive (challenging?) than the previous versions with the Advanced setup appearing to provide a lot more in the way of fine grained adj...

Thanks ThomasOK - very informative. A couple of additional questions: - 1. The Bridged Class-D amplifier with post-filter feedback - is Class-D the future direction of travel for all Linn power amplifiers? 2. Power supply - one of the What Hi-Fi pages has a picture of a Selekt with the cover off. Wh...

"Next year Linn will also make available a headphone amplifier cartridge, and those with an amplified Selekt DSM will have the choice to add a surround sound cartridge with 5.1 speaker terminals, 4 HDMI inputs, 1 HDMI output and playback support for DTS and Dolby Digital Plus audio formats." David,...

There is a single HDMI ARC input socket on the base model as far as I can see?

Also a strange looking USB IN socket?

Selekt DSM w/ integrated amp and Katalyst £6,750

Unlikely to be Akurate-level technology at that price point although I am intrigued about the "bridged Class-D power amplifier"?

Any information about the Selekt DSM power supply?

First time that I've heard it referred to as "Linn’s Space Optimisation DSP technology ..."

Look more closely, the Linn photograph shows DACS RKERS - to me that's DACs and Amplifiers.

Hi Designstory - PM sent

Won't tell you how long the K400 and split K400 is in my system - I'll be chucked out the Forum!

I'm sure I retained my original AV5125 power supply when I upgraded to Dynamik - must be in a cupboard somewhere.

Stuart has first dibs as he Posted first but let me know how things pan out.

I borrowed Steven's guillotine vinyl tile cutter (see Post #3 above) - I ripped about 8 metres of K400 and retained all 10 fingers!

As a general rule patience is a virtue here so take your time ...

It's all down to taste I suppose I love trad jazz and JATPS is one of the best trad jazz albums I have ..I'm biased as I love Scandinavian playing especially all the great jazz trios that are coming from that part of the world ,EST a prime example . Agreed, which is why I mentioned that " ... there...

Sound very similar to my own experiences with "Jazz at the Pawnshop" which, according to Wikipedia, is "...widely regarded by audiophiles as the best jazz recording of the 20th Century. " Unfortunately I can't agree! While the album is superbly recorded with excellent production values there is a st...

I note that this brought Pharrell to tears - it's not really that bad is it, but not my cup of tea either!

As for Aretha, well she's still in a different league - thanks to Music Lover for that most excellent link!

Sent you a PM.

I upgraded my AV5125 to Dynamik but have retained the original power supply.

Not sure what you mean by "My 5125 needs a set."

I'm in Glasgow as well and, as Marco knows, always feel that we miss out in terms of opportunities to audition any Lejonklou equipment.

Count me in ...

So no expectation bias there then ...?
