Contrary to some people's opinion, I would argue for even tighter moderation on this forum! I've noticed a trend whereby too many posters who don't appear to be genuine tune meister's are slipping in the phrase "tune-dem" to gain acceptance. I appreciate it's hard to be certain, but as the saying go...

Dear hcl, I notice on the melodik forum you make reference to the WD My Book NAS. I don't speak swedish so I had to use an online translator. Because some words were not recognised, I wasn't sure if you were giving it a recommendation or just using it as an example. Would it be possible for you to c...

Sounds really interesting Salty, and potentially one of the cheapest upgrades to a Linn system, so great value too. How does JRiver affect your ability to apply Tune-Dem? Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention.

"Still I don't think the SL-1210 is terrible deck and with some 'tune dem' upgrades and tweaks it might be rather good (i haven't tried much tho)."

Good point Efraim. It leaves the door open for lots of Tune Dem based experiments.

What about a Rega deck? Anything above a P3 might be quite interesting - easy to transport and one of the most musical decks not made in Glasgow. They're nowhere near as good as an LP12, but better than most decks on the market. I heard a Technics 1200 recently which had been upgraded (I'm not sure ...

*SOLD* Audiotech and Sound Organisation LP12 Supports

It's time to say good bye to my Audiotech and original Sound Org LP12 table's since I'm now DS based. The Audiotech metalwork and spikes are in excellent condition. The top board has a couple of dents and has spike marks on both sides. I'm looking for £65 + p&p. The Sound Org's metalwork is also in ...

Thanks Charlie1,

If you haven't broken the bar, that means you're mono wiring too. The fact that you have to break the bar was the reason for my question in the "mono/bi/multi-wiring" thread - there's no going back if it's not as good!

Charlie1, I notice you are using a 4 channel amp with your M140's. How do you use the 4 channel's and did you try a 2 channel amp to compare? When I heard the M140's at my dealer's, he used a 4200, with 2 channel's on the bass and 2 on the treble - it sounded very good to me. However, some people th...

Single/Bi/Multi-wiring Majik 140’s

It looks as though I’ll be getting a pair of 140’s with the upgrade stands, in a couple of weeks. One last decision is how I wire them up to my Akurate 2200? There’s been a lot of debate recently about how best to wire up 242’s, with the consensus being that single or bi-wiring is the most tuneful a...

My first speaker’s were a pair of home made Kef kit 3’s, which used the B139’s and B110’s as used in the Isobark’s (well almost). Does that count as a “nearly Linn ‘speaker”? - no, I don’t think so either! Next up was a pair of Castle Kendal II’s - they were “awarded” Best Buy status in HiFi Choice ...

Thanks for your help Anthony. I didn't think the stands would affect the tune, based on my previous experience of Linn stands, but I thought I'd just check, to make sure.

Majik 140 stands

Hi everyone, I’m 90% sure I’m going to be ordering a new pair of Majik 140’s at the end of the month. I’ve heard them already, and was very impressed with their tune playing ability, but I just want to hear them again before I finally decide. My question relates to the optional stands: How do they a...

Pete, Judging by your photographs, the trampolinn's suspension is being bypassed because the feet of your pre-amp are sitting directly on top of the tramp's feet. You're not getting the advantage of why it's called the trampolinn, i.e. the thin rubber membrane acting as a trampoline and allowing ver...
