LINN Majik vs Classik vs Wakonda vs Kairn
Dilly,If your speakers are bi-wireable you may consider adding a second Linn amp to bi-amp them at some time in the future. You will get louder sound, greater dynamics, bigger soundstage, and better bass. As you can afford it you may consider a LK...

LINN Majik vs Classik vs Wakonda vs Kairn
I concur with Eldragon that this amp driving Linn speakers is the way to go. Incidentally Linn speakers are 4 ohm so the Majik develops 66 watts. This integrated is very stable into 4 ohms unlike other small Brit integrated amps.

If you open the integrated the slimline ps looks just like the name says. It is a chrome slim rectangular shielded case inside. The older brilliant ps was shielded, but round like a toroidal transformer.The Majik preamp section is a Wakonda. This ...

I owned a Majik with the slimline brilliant power supply. They did upgrade the power supply on the later model Majiks.Very good, peppy sounding integrated amp.The beauty of this integrated is the robust power supply and a "mini" Klout amplifier in...

Integrated amp and CD player for the new B&W 805S?
Heard them with Mcintosh and I was so impressed I tried to figure how to afford the change over.Many, many people think Classe/ B&W combo is perfect.It makes sense to me seeing how the Mac/B&W combo sounded to me. Both amp manufactures hav... 
HDMI Adapter???
There is no difference in quality between DVI and HDMI HDMI carries digital picture and sound.DVI carries only digital picture.AR makes inexpensive HDMI to DVI adapters and work fine. That way you can invest in a good HDMI cable for when you get a...
