Center Channel Match for Linn Keilidh Speakers?
Isn't the Linn Centrik matched to Keilidhs??Check out Linn's website or call them @ 1-800-671-LINN, I've called them for all kinds of wierd stuff and they've been great. If you can't find it on the web, they should work with you at the number I li... 
Linn Karik/Numeric vs Genki
I've seen Ikemi's for $2100 used, that's not much more than you'd pay for a Karik/Numerik combo, saves you some space and sounds better. As for the Genki, it's a nice unit, but the transport seems a little cheap to me, I personally would go with t... 
Recommendation for universal learning remote
I second bigshutterbug, I've had the original pronto for 2 years and absolutely love it. It made my system so easy to use my girlfriend can use it! 
What to do... US Postal Money order not received.
I use priority mail all the time, but I pay the 0.50 more for the delivery confirmation....gives you a tracking number to follow should it get delayed. 
LINN aktiv vs passive biamping
Sorry to hear of your problem, I agree with jwalkerstewart, those Activ cards do take a while to burn in! I put mine together and thought I'd made a huge mistake. Fortunately after a few months they really came together, so much so I put Activ car... 
Linn's advice about bi-amping; question
From what you've said above, it sounds as thought you've got the K400's in a bi-wire configuration (ie. Two connectors on one end, and Four on the other) All you'll need to do is modify, or have it done for you, the one end of each speaker wire, s... 
new Electrocompaniet vs older LINN Karik/Nemeric?
The Karik/Numeric is a nice combo, but you could get an Ikemi for the almost the same price, which sounds better in my opinion, and saves you the space/interconnects of the seperate transport/DAC combo.Just my .02.... 
Active?? mix brands
Rcprince, you're very close. When converting Linn systems to Aktiv, you install powered crossovers in the amps, thereby the amp only has to generate power for the bandwidth each driver will produce. You then completely bypass the crossover in the ... 
ultimate CD-R burner system?
As the signal is kept in the digital domain in any computer, buy the one with the fastest speed you feel comfortable buying, I doubt you'll hear any difference. If you are recording from analog sources......you would need to go through the sound c... 
Progressive Scan? Need Advice
You won't see any advantage from progressive output unless your TV takes 480p ie is HD (truly SD) compatable. Otherwise you will only see the difference between the S-video or component outs... whichever you use. 
To ship or not to ship during the Holidays???
Well, I decided not to wait, amps/speakers are coming fed Ex..... Hope they have a safe trip!!! 
To ship or not to ship during the Holidays???
This isn't a question of WHO to ship with, those where only examples. I think the rush of packages happens to everyone!(Even Fed Ex!) 
TIVO and Ultimate TV. Any recommendations?
You'll find the Replay systems are better, and don't require a monthly fee...though the price accounts for that. They also have much better seach features than the TiVO. I've had a Replay for two years, and can't imagine living without it, it's th... 
Audiophile novice needs your expert opinion
John, I had a similar problems with Acurus amps (A250 and a 200x3)... it's a ground problem. I managed to solve it by running ground lines from every component to the screw in the outlet the components were plugged into... It seems the cable wire ... 
Isn't this a site dedicated to audio/video
This is especially funny as I've been seeing adds all over for the Xbox and Game Cube. I just got back from the mall and saw them for sale there, no shortage at all!!! I feel sorry for the fools who pay over retail for these!
