My Karik III seems little affected by the tweaks I've tried. It was immune to power cords from Shunyata and JPS, so I went back to stock. I eventually removed the Airmass isolation platform I used for a few months, after I tried Audio Points brass cones. The Airmass seemed to soften and slow the bass slightly. I still use the Audio Points, which had a small effect in opening up the sound and adding shimmer to cymbals and bite to horns. Audio Points have improved every CD player I've ever owned, and I use them under my DVD, too. Your post makes me think I should try again with combinations of nothing, Audio Points and the Airmass. I was tweaking a lot of stuff in the system (and room) when I was tweaking the Karik, and now the rest of the system has settled in and is really smokin' (did Miles ever do a Smokin' with Miles?). I did find that Isopods under my old LK1 (now serving in a multiroom setup) made a real improvement. Let us know if you find something that works for you.
Linn CD Player Tweaks
Has anybody had any luck with any tweaks for Linn CD players, especially the Genki? I have used Tara Labs Vanishing Points (4 sounds better than 3) under the unit with some success, better focus, more defined bass but was wondering what else I should try. The PCs I tried on this unit didn't make any discernable difference to me but I am open to suggestion (PCs, isolation, etc.). Thanks.
