| Which purist interconnect?? Try new Aqueous, its a very balanced cable...one of the most balanced I have ever heard. New Elementa Advance is good too, and cheaper. My experience with cardas is that their cables tend to smear images, though I never heard their reference cables. | |
| Cardas Cross vs. Kimber Silver Streak try the kimber ks 1016, its like hero on steroids. Lots of detail. I agree with the criticisms of the Cross, it is smooth but smears the images and to my hears, too flawed. Its only good for taming super bright systems. | |
| Need to finally replace my 8TC, but with what? Just my opinion but give Nordost baldur a try in a bi-wire. Bass wont be quite as good but mid-range and upper frequencies are way better. It also is a very musical cable and works fine with kimber Ic's. | |
| Non-Linn Speakers for a Linn Stereo System I have the Ninkas and drive them in Passive mode with new Majik-I integrated. Results are great even in passive. Big improvement over older Linn amps. Also, Linn has option to upgrade to new Dynamik power supply, I have not heard but am very curious. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Stringreen makes a good point about no correlation between cost and performance. A lot depends on the equipment and how it reacts to cables. For example, I just changed to an all Linn system and very entry level kimber works much better than the m... | |
| Is Linn gear sensitive to cables? I will end up with a bi-amp set up for the Ninkas...I was thinking of 8TC for the speakers, silver streak between the amps, and ks 1011 for the cdp.amps will be the new Majik-I integrated and 4100 with aktiv card. | |
| Best way to aktively drive Linn Ninkas I also have a pair of Ninkas and I did here them with the new Majik-I charkra, the results were very good even in passive mode. My plan is to get both the Majik-I and a majik 4100 with the aktiv cards to go aktiv. I do have one question for anyone... | |
| New Linn Majik-i or Naim Nait 5i with Linn Ninkas I am surprised at the responses your getting, I recently purchased a pair of used Ninkas and I am driving them with a Thule IA100, only a $1,500 amp...works fine. Keep in mind the Ninka @90 db's is not sensitive( i.e. easy to drive) I don't see wh... | |
| Is Linn gear sensitive to cables? I have a pair of Linn Ninkas, I was thinking of switching to Kimber or analysis plus. But maybe I should wait until I get a Linn amp? I am saving up for the new Majik -I amp...going to an all linn system piece meal...too expensive to do all at once. | |
| Do subwoofers really help? I actually took everybody's advice. The problem was the impedance curve on the speakers was too steep for the amp, but I liked the amp better. So, I sold the speakers and Got ones that better match the amp. The peak output on my amp is 4R. The imp... | |
| Do subwoofers really help? Thanks everyone I found a solution. | |
| Do subwoofers really help? I'm not crazy because when I replace my speakers with less sensitive ones (Focals for example) 2 things happen...Bass improves, and I don't have to turn the volume up as high to get good sound. I am an amateur and I did not pay attention to the sp... | |
| Focal vs Dali speakers I just auditioned both chorus 716v and 726v, both were better than any Dali in the same price range. Great vocal reproduction. | |
| Focal vs Dali speakers Price range between $1500 and $2500. Anyone like Linn speakers? They make good amps. | |
| Focal vs Dali speakers What speakers have a really good low-end? |
