| The Linn Karousel bearing. @roberjerman With an attitude like that, I can understand why there would be folks in the dark ages...lol.@brf The upgrade costs $975- and may or may not include fitting...depending on your dealer. The kit contains a female bearing, a new inner p... | |
| The Linn Karousel bearing. Linn claim that the new Karousel bearing is not only incredibly precise, but also the fact that it is now far more rigidly attached to the sub-chassis is bringing about the results. It seems it is not just the increase in accuracy of machining, bu... | |
| RIP Lee Kerslake, Uriah Heep drummer passed at 73 Oh no! Not how I wanted to start my day at all...:0(RIP Lee Kerslake. | |
| Turntable power supply/motor’s role in SQ for belt drive TT LOL, same old naysaying non Linn owning members are at it again I see! OP, ignore those folk and concentrate on your Linn upgrade.I think IF funds allow, definitely go for the Radikal and the Karousel.The Radikal is a excellent speed control and t... | |
| New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet? @tonnesen I would bring those tube amps out of storage asap. I have found that a good tube amp with a good/great transformer can sound as powerful as a ss amp with considerably more power. SF's love tubes and I suspect you will be more than plea... | |
| Leave tube amps always on? Leaving a tube amp on 24/7 implies that it will be left on unattended. If one of the tubes fails and the amp is unattended this could cause a significant fire hazard IMO. I would NEVER leave my tube amps or preamp on 24/7 under any circumstances. | |
| Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice I own a tube amp and a ss amp. Swap them out to hear the differences and enjoy both greatly. Tube amps are more 'hands on' than ss amps IME. Tube amps also have a few idiosyncrasies that ss amps do not,IMO.Firstly, what is not really mentioned her... | |
| What is missing here? @kevn, That’s a great answer, tells me that you are indeed a very smart buyer. Not so sure others are as smart as you, but I guess that is why they too would be in for a learning experience. | |
| What is missing here? @kevn Kevin, perhaps you could answer my question. If you read the review I alluded to in my OP, there is no mention in the body of the work that the amp in question puts out a maximum of 9watts/ch and at 10% distortion. Furthermore, there is no ... | |
| What is missing here? @billzame. Great points. In this particular review, there is actually no mention of the output power of this amp in the body of the piece. So, one could actually read the whole piece and not realize what that is! | |
| What is missing here? @aewarren. Your posts say a lot about you. I certainly hope that you never find yourself in a position of disadvantage because someone failed to disclose something to you..Maybe then we can talk about comprehension...or lack thereof! | |
| What is missing here? @daj Perhaps you are trying to read too much into what I am getting at... | |
| What is missing here? Folks, where do I give the impression that I am the one being misled from the article I quoted in the OP? Absolute Sound is a magazine that is read by a wide variety of audience demographic. ( Most probably fairly experienced audiophiles, BUT NOT ... | |
| What is missing here? @p05129 You are right, I am NOT a seasoned a'phile, certainly no where near as seasoned ( whoever that means?) as you! ;0)@aewarren Does it not concern you at least a little bit that the reviewer in the Absolute Sound ( NOT Stereophile) omitted... | |
| What is missing here? @millercarbon Chuck, If you don’t like my thread, I suggest you place it on ignore. |
