| Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do? I agree. I just wish they would have a family plan so that I didn't have to have 2 subscription services. | |
| Computer based system. Need advice on DAC. I'm using a Wadia 121 DAC with built-in volume control and am quite happy with it (list is $1200, but I think you can find them for more like $800 now new). Source = MacBook Pro mostly streaming Tidal lossless. Feeding a Bel Canto Ref500s amp and ... | |
| Thoughts on SHIIT Gungnar DAC the products are all named for Norse mythology. I like it. | |
| Thoughts on SHIIT Gungnar DAC tons of great reviews for the Gungnir on head-fi.org. Check them out. | |
| Has Linn Gone Crazy? They Stopped Making Pre-Amps I like it. It's part of their brand identity. | |
| Has Linn Gone Crazy? They Stopped Making Pre-Amps Perhaps. I think there's more to it than that.Meanwhile, has anyone here listened to a Linn Exakt system? I'm very curious to hear people's opinions. | |
| Recently heard the Ocos speaker cable. .. I had a pair of Ocos cables in my old office system (NAD L40 and PSB Image 1B speakers). It sounded good enough for that system. I never did any comparisons in that system. The cable is annoying stiff, though, and basically seems like a cable TV c... | |
| Has Linn Gone Crazy? They Stopped Making Pre-Amps That's just my general impression. I think most people prefer smaller, boutique companies and think that Linn is over-priced and over-marketed. Which, to some extent, is true. A good indicator of the lack of interest in Linn is the fact that Linn'... | |
| Has Linn Gone Crazy? They Stopped Making Pre-Amps By the way, I'm not a shill (although I do own several pieces of low-end Linn gear, as you can see by clicking on my system link) | |
| Has Linn Gone Crazy? They Stopped Making Pre-Amps There's no pain. I'm just disappointed because I realized that the Linn Exakt system has never been discussed (as far as I can tell) on this forum, and typed out a very long response to stir up a discussion. And then all I got was your post. I kno... | |
| Has Linn Gone Crazy? They Stopped Making Pre-Amps Infection - that contributes nothing to this thread. Put price to the side for the moment (because, let's face it, 99% of the general population would think most of the equipment discussed on this forum is incredibly over-priced). The issue is tha... | |
| Has Linn Gone Crazy? They Stopped Making Pre-Amps Interesting additional information I just read about. Linn sells the Akurate Exaktbox, which allows you to add Exakt technology to older Linn speakers and even third party speakers, since the crossover points are programmable. (http://small.linncd... | |
| Has Linn Gone Crazy? They Stopped Making Pre-Amps I'm not very surprised. Linn is moving in its own direction. It's latest "Exakt" technology is a fully integrated system that just won't work with other components. If you are not familiar with Exakt, it employs a DSM streaming unit (that also has... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers in Built-in Bookcase I'd still love some opinions on whether any of the following speakers would work best in my room for my system (or whether I should add others to the list):B&W 805D Diamond; Evolution Acoustics Micro One; Dynaudio Confidence C1; Scansonic MB-1... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers in Built-in Bookcase Actually, I might want to retract my comment about closed cabinet speakers. On further thought, I have heard some that sound good. |
