| Power cords for Linn amps. I have changed the power cords on my Linn Klouts (4) and AV-5150 (2) from the stock one to PS Audio Prelude, on my Ikemi, Kairn-Pro and Kudos I used the PS Audio Punch with great success. The biggest difference was on the Klouts as they use a Thor... | |
| Spades/Bananas/bare wire? The Nordost Z-Plug is the best. It fits into a 4mm bananajack and gives 360 degrees contact area, far more than any other banana or spade. No springs or leafs to wear out. Audioquest also has a similar plug.Hope this will help. | |
| How is your many titles in your digital collection 1,000 Cd's0 SACD0 DVDA100 DVD'sI am evaluating if I should start a vinyl collection or a SACD one. Every single person I have talked to told me to move to vinyl. They see in SACD's the fate of Sony's Mini Disk in the early 90's. | |
| Best speakers for Linn Classik ??? I have a Classik-K and use Dynaudio's 52-SE with great results. I have tried the Katans in a medium sized room but found the bass too lean. You can't go aktive with a Classik unless you buy two amps or a multichannel one. The Classik won't take Ak... | |
| Totem Forest, Mani 2's or Green Mtn Audio Europa Panderso,I have compared it to the Dynaudio Special 25 and the JM Labs Micro Utopias. For my music taste (Jazz, brazilian and latin rock) I do preffer the huge bass of the Mani-2.Patricia Barber's Distorsion of Love, (I never went away and My Girl... | |
| Totem Forest, Mani 2's or Green Mtn Audio Europa The Mani-2 are the best speakers I have owned in the last20 years, over 20 pairs by 6 different manufacturers andprices from 2K to 16K. They do require an adecuate amp,but power seem to be cheaper this days. Just bought a Signature pair about a mo... | |
| Good "all-in-one" system? Linn Classik?? I have owned several Linn Classiks and one Nad L-40. The Linn is by far a better sounding unit, built quality is simply awesome. The current model, the Classik-K, allows you to connect up to five of them to have distributed music in your home. It ... | |
| Creek 53 v classe' CDP-10 v Linn Genki Three fine players, I would rank them as follows:1. Classe CDP-10 (If you can find an used one).2. Linn Genki (built like a tank, warranty is not transfereable).3. Creek 53 (finish is not on par with the Classe or Linn). | |
| Recommendations for a variable out c/d player.... You may want to check the Linn Genki. It has two set of variable so that you can do a bi-amp system. It also has two set of fixed outputs is you want to add a preamp. | |
| Active crossovers and commercial home speakers? I suggest that you go to a Linn dealer and get a demo. Linnspeakers can be changed from passive to active by changing a plate at the rear of the speakers. Besides Linn I belive that Naim and Krell have active crossovers for their gear.I have owned... | |
| Which Pre-amps Will Allow Two Subs For music the Linn Kairn will give you 3 set of stereo outputs for multi amps. For a home theater the Rotel RSP-1098 has dual sub outputs, keep in mind that they are feed the same signal (mono .1). | |
| LINN IKEMI USERS... Recommendation Plz I own two Ikemis, the best cables I/C I have used are Cardas Golden Reference and Kimber Kable Hero.As for Power cords I have used Kimber Kable PK-10, Jenna Labs and PS Audio. Currently use the PS Audio Prelude.The build quality of the cable is am... | |
| Dynaudio Audience 52se anyone give em a listen? I bought a pair to go with my Linn Classik-K, they are great speakers, a lot of speakers for the money. They come close to my Totem Mani-2 ($4K). I have them close to the wall with the port plugs installed. Bass is tight and thetreble is just adic... | |
| Good source for vinyl 80s rock Thanks guys. I will begin my search for vinyl ASAP. | |
| 115 Volts or 220 Volts ? Besides the voltage drop fact, a 240V line is quieter than 120V one. The two hot lines, 120V each, cancel each other noise. I have a dedicated 240 line for my audio room. I ownLinn gear which have a voltage selector switch. My partner is an electr... |
