Linn klimax solo vs klimax chakra twin


Hi

Talked to a dealer of linn and he proclamid that the solos where much superior to the klimax chakra twin.
Well he must say that bcause the cost twice as much.

However somthing that puzzels the solos are 8 year old amps and do not have the newest chakra teknologi
the chakra twin is a product from 2005 with the new chakra teknology.

Since i dont need brutal powwer for my higly efficent speaker wouldent the klimax chakra twin be the way to go ?

Congratulations on the purchase of Solos!

Since you have already heard the Charkra Twin in your system, when you receive your Solos, you will have a good reference to compare with. I would be really interested to find out your take of the difference and improvement. Please let us know!

I will diffently get back with my findings

I did not hear the chakra twin in my own system but have heard it 3 times now at a dealer with 2 different speakers and from each time i whent there i got more and more pulled into the music the last time i was there i sad in the chair for 4 hours until the store closed.

I have only heard the chakra amps with cremonas on time and it was at another dealers place that experince pretty much started my journey into audio.

Eny way its going to be very interresting when the get here because i will maybe have new speakers when the solos arrive the new sonus faber cremona M.

Also i have not heard the klimax amplifires with my moddified transporter

but that SD transporter greatly outpreformed a audio aero capiol player running straigt into nuforce V2 se amps
so much infact that the dealer ordered 3 moddified TP the next day

il be back

Tda,
not sure you stated, if you did i forgot, but what is your preamp? of all my linn gear that i own, and of all ive heard, the Klimax Kontrol is by far the best piece Linn makes..youll find that not only Linn fans, but just about everyone finds this pre to be reference level/quality. of course a perfect mate for the solos..
Hi jaf

Sorry for the misunderstandig
the slimdevices transporter has varible ouputs so you can connect it straigt into poweramps.

This is all done in the digital domain so its really like a invisible preamp and it sure sounds fantastic.
Even with a old homemade icepower amp i borrowed im abel to get fantastic results .

IHowever if i should ever desideed to get a preamp the kontrol is The one.

But imagin if the sindek cd 12 had preamp function so it was connected straigt to the solos eleinating the use of a preamp making signal path even shorter .

This ofcause will only work if you only use one source .

I was a tact gut and one of the great things about tact amplifires is you only use a transport straigt into the amp because the amp itself is the DAC only this dac has power and volume control.

The transporter is like the unidisk sc and this rout is a litte the same as the tact only now the player and preamp is one wich signal gets amplifired by the amps.

I hope and pray that when linn comes with there new replacment for the cd12 (wich infact also uses the same hardisk playback tech as the transporter) the will add souch function as the unidisk sc.

regards
Tda,
well....its been a few weeks....any update...did you receive the amps yet? anxious to hear your feedback
