| Universal remote for Linn??? Hooray! So glad I found this thread! I just got a Linn Majik and ordered a remote for it from Italy. The remote arrives today, only it doesn’t work on the Linn at all; instead, it changes presets on my Meridian tuner. Go figure.So when I read ... | |
| British Integrated Amps Thanks mr_m, but I’m fancying these shoe box sized integrated because I’m moving overseas soon and just like the form factor of them and the fact that they are so good sounding and don’t take up lots of room either.I had a good lead on an Onix OA2... | |
| British Integrated Amps Well, I ended up picking up a shoe box sized Linn Majik I and so far so good. It’s very smooth sounding, I like it’s aesthetics and ease of operation. It doesn’t have a phono stage but I’ve read the ones that do have crosstalk with the built in ph... | |
| Best Integrated Amp (for me) I currently have the Acurus DIA100 mkI partnered with Monitor Audio R700MD’s and I completely disagree with those above who said the mkII is bright. The mkI, or at least my mkI, is in no way bright sounding at all, (although, I have read that sou... | |
| British Integrated Amps Great thread! Thank you all for your comments & posts!I’m moving overseas in a few months so the idea of a shoe box sized dual voltage Brit int w/phono stage is very appealing right now.I now have an Acurus DIA100 w/Monitor Audio R700MD & ... | |
| British Integrated Amps Hbarrel - I had an AMC CVT3030 many years ago in the early 90’s, nice piece, but I never considered that a British design? Was Weltronics from the UK?skoczylas - always heard really good things about Croft gearnonoise - ditto with Exposure gear too | |
| British Integrated Amps I also had a very rare Celestion Ditton Elan integrated amp that was very beefy sounding but it had bipolar outputs. I prefer Mosfets, sounds warmer and more realistic to me. | |
| British Integrated Amps Jess - Is that the original Brio or the 2017 Brio you are referring to? | |
| B&K ST-140 amplifier buying decision The B&K ST140 had at least 7 different versions I believe, 3 black with silver handles (70 wpc, 105 wpc, 105 wpc w/ toroidal transformer) and the black with black handles with red lettering. And then silver lettering without handles and one wi... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt @knotscottThat’s a great story. Mr Rosenberg addressed the Phila Triode Symposium dressed in a full Native American feather headdress that sported a vacuum tube as the keystone of his feather headdress and an Irish kilt. There were many other Audi... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt I don’t know how to do those fancy looking things to include ones comments, but to answer what knotscott said:“It’s been fun reading through this thread and seeing some blasts from the past. I built a DH500 from a kit in 1985, then moved on to a N... | |

| Jolida JD-402 Tube Tuners Except the quality isn’t poor, it’s built like a brick blank house and weighs like one too, and it’s probably the best sounding digital tuner I’ve heard because of the tubes - and I’ve owned a lot of good tuners. (Free free to see “my tuner evolu... | |
| Any audiophiles in Israel or Europe here? He was the patriarch of two monotheistic faiths, Judaism and Islam; but that’s not really what we are here to talk about, right? | |
