Urika mute fail

Post by ncs12 »

Hello there.

Just wondering whether anyone had a urika that had problems with the mute setting.

The unit was working. The speed switch functions as expected. It simply doesn't get quieter.

Puzzled.

Many thanks

Forgive my silly response here but you have double checked the Radikal mute button is switched on?

May have inadvertently pressed.

Thanks for getting me to double check.

It is, so the power switch on the deck cycles through as expected it simply doesn't mute when it should.

I would have asked the same question as Ianw, but assumed from how you wrote it that it wasn't that simple. I have never heard of this happening but would guess if there is no simple fix that there is something wrong in either the control board in the Radikal or the Urika itself. I would guess the latter since the Radikal board appears to be signaling it is doing the right thing. One simple thing to try would be to unplug and plug back in the cable that goes from the Radikal to the Urika in case one of the pins is not making good contact. Otherwise I'd contact the Linn helpline to see if they have any suggestions.

Hello again

I'm going to replace the cable between the radikal and the urika.

Would anyone have a link to the correct cable to buy?

Thank you

I would recommend getting one from a Linn dealer. I am not sure of the correct part number but it might be CONN 1284/2 as it has the right description, but I'd verify that. I con't find an exploded diagram with the proper part numbers on the Linn dealer website. It probably won't be inexpensive but I'm sure it will make a musical difference to substitute something else.
