Zee9 ..... Coming back to Linn!

Post by Zee9 »

I had the first pair of Linn (Keilidh) speakers and a basic Majik-I integrated amp (35w) back in 1994 and made the mistake of selling it when I moved back to india from Germany.

Fast forward 24 years and I realized how much I enjoyed that sound even on a budget and decided to get back into some linn gear.

Over the last few months although promising the wifey that we won’t spend more than $1000 on s/h linn gear here we are

Linn Majik DSM/1
Linn Unidisk SC
Majik C5100 (4/5 channels for bass and mids)
Akurate C3200 (2/3 channels for the highs)
Silver and black interconnects.
28 year old Kabers in black with some artistic modifications as the black just looked boring. That’s real copper leaf on the speaker surrounds (rubber pierces to hide the Allen bolts holding the woofers in place)

Just received aktiv cards and am hoping to find a second C3200/non Dynamik to have a 3200 for each speaker.

So ended up spending some
Money yesterday :(

Got a very good deal on a used target rack. And also found a (new to me) Ak4200/1 that should hopefully arrive by Monday.

I moved the bass aktiv cards to the c3200 and the mids and high cards to the c5100 so i don’t have to pull out the whole system when the Ak4200/1 arrives. I can’t tell if the bass has improved but I can say that I don’t like the Majik level amp on the highs compared to my older c3200/non d.

Here’s a picture for you guys...

a lot has changed since august 2019..... the whole pandemic made us rethink what we enjoy and i decided to stop riding my motorcycles when the healthcare system was so overburdened and to spend that on our system...... we went thru some major changes..... from the Kabers to 242's to Majik 140's to Exakt Akubariks.......

its only been few weeks since we got our akubariks and I'm still moving them slowly and trying to get them to sound the best we can..... but the setup has become simpler and i must say a lot of fun. We also got to add a TT (not a big enough vinyl collection so we started slow to see if we even want to follow that path).

its been so long that I had forgotten how to add a photo to my post!

Out of interest how do you add a photo? I've only been able to post links in the past.

Or remove the end characters of your photo link and replace with "?raw=1"

Looks good Zee. What else did you get in IKEA? 😉

A small change in the system hence the update

We added an lp12 recently
Details are: walnut plinth, karousel, Kore, trampoline 2, Akito arm, akurate radikal/1. Since we are new to the TT hobby we started out with an AT-VM95ML and it’s sounding fantastic compared to the old basik.
