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 ?

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.

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

Nope not yet long story but the willl ship proberly in the beginning of next week.

Good news im getting a pair that have been upgraded with the powersuplly that dossent run warm.

also orderd the silver interconnects with xlr connectors seemd like the right cable to get

What are you experince with the silver interconnects ?

regards
Silver is a MUST, especially for Klimax Amps. very nice improvement over linn black. new they are 400usd i think, but second hand you can get a pr for half that, at most. look forward to your update
