Power cord for Linn Classik

Vasvas,

The LAT International powercords are very nice and cheap. Echohifi.com sold me mine at a great price. The banana connectors do come apart and one can easily use other wire up to maybe 16 gauge. Owned a Classik and it is very nice.

Fatparrot- (grin) Actually, it was just a figure of speech. I should have said I leave it in the box for when I sell it. Thanks for the advice though.

Don't literally throw those cheapie power cords away Racerx90!! If you ever sell those pieces of equipment I doubt that you'll want to ship them along with your "Ultra Godzilla Monzo" mega-buck power cords! And used equipment customers DO expect to see a power cord along with their equipment even if THEY'LL probably throw them away! Happy Tunes!

Rsuminsby - Thanks a lot!!! That it just what I've been looking for. I'll stop by the Linn dealer tomorrow and inquire about it.

racerx90 - when I bought my Classik in England, the dealer gave me a set of adapters that allows me to use standard banana plugs on the speaker terminals. You might try contacting a Linn dealer and see if you can find a set...it opens up a lot more options for cables.

Try a BMI Eel. For the price, hard to beat, and works great with Linn solid state gear, warming up the midrange.

I also own a Linn Classik hooked up to a pair of Tyler Reference Monitors. I haven't done much with it in terms of replacing cables yet (still using the factory speaker cables as well.)

However, I always throw away those pre-molded cheap 18 gauge IEC cords that ship with everything from computers to audio equipment. They are just plain junk. I always replace them with at least standard 14/3 gauge powercords.

Not sure how much much improvement it made as I never even listened to the unit with the original powercord. It's also probably not the best upgrade you can do for a powercord, but it's a start and cheap.

However, I have had lots of luck and experience with the Granite Audio #555 and #560 powercords (which I use throughout all of my main system.) They're a lot powercord for the money.

I'm curious what you've found that works for speaker cable. The Linn Classik has those bizzare speaker connectors that almost nothing fits except for those z-connectors. Not one of the best choices in my opinion given its a really very nice integrated unit.

Thanks.
