| Source of Brightness As a content owner of a Linn Genki I can assure you it is not the CD player. The problem likely lies primarily with the room (the forgotten component), or perhaps with the cables. Or, as the astute Mr. Eber notes, you may have the condition known ... | |
| BESIDES MOFI WHATS THE BEST L.P.s? The only consistently stellar LP audiophile label of recent years is DCC, and they've stopped vinyl production. The early Classic Records classical releases were reportedly subpar, but every other Classic issue that I've bought has been great to m... | |
| Help me Buy an LP-12 I have been happily using an LP-12 (synonymous with Sondek) for about six years. I would very much recommend finding a good used table with the Ittok arm and Cirkus bearing upgrade as previously mentioned. Of course you want to have the table, and... | |
| Great Acoustic Guitar Recordings Try Bola Sete 'Tour de Force' on the Analogue Productions label and 'From all Sides Now,' his duet recording with Vince Guaraldi (on Fantasy). If you like acoustic guitar virtuosity with a Latin flavor, check them out. Also the Mclaughlin/diMeola/... | |
| phono pre-amp Have you considered upgrading your preamp to one with an integrated phono stage? The LK-1 is fairly old technology, and Linn's newer preamps such as the Wakonda have not only the slimline brilliant switch-mode power supply, but those with phono ha... | |
| Mounting Linn K9 Pickup:Pin Assignments The orientation at the cartridge should be the same as that coming out of the tonearm where the cartridge leads connect. On my Linn, starting at the upper right lead and going clockwise, it's red, green, blue, white. Hope this helps. | |
| Best mc cartridge for $ 1000.00 & under I use a Benz LO.4 on my Linn and love it! I appreciate it even more with a recent PS and motor change (also Origin Live), which speaks even more to it's value. List is $1200, but they're available for around $800 with a trade in. You could conside... | |
| Monitors for Linn Majik...HELP! I second the recommendation of the Kestrels. I started out with a Majik, now have Linn separates, and I still have the Kestrels. GREAT match with Linn components. Get the 'Hot Rod' version (biwire) if you decide on them, but give these nice floors... | |
| Guilty pleasure music? I kinda feel like a dweeb when I listen to them sometimes, but RUSH was one of my favorite groups when I was a teenager. They became kind of a synth-rock let-down, but some of their early stuff, especially 'Fly by Night' still has a raw edge that ... | |
| Meadowlark drivers, tweeters...? Scanspeak I believe. AUDITION the speakers!!! | |
| BEST PHONO STAGE FOR UNDER OR OVER 1GRAN Doh! Basic Delphini is $1295. Upgrade later to highly regulated power supply. Sheesh....Geeez... | |
| BEST PHONO STAGE FOR UNDER OR OVER 1GRAN One that has recently been released, and I'm DYING to hear is the new Michell Delphini. The dual mono version would be the ultimate, but the stereo version with highly regulated power supply goes for $2395 U.S. Rave reviews thus far. Geeez....Shee... | |
| Most important link: Source? Pre-amp?or? This scenario requires a certain premise to be valid, that being that the components considered (room included) are of relatively good quality (defining this is of course an endeavor unto itself). All things being equal, it is obvious that the SOU... | |
| It's not the sound I want! Source, source, source! I adamantly echo the above comments. The Adcom is the likely "weak link" in the system. Audition higher quality CD sources (Wadia, Linn, Naim) and evaluate the change for yourself. And of course the room should ALWAYS be co... | |
| R 2 D 4 Damn that umpulse buying! I never was much of a comparative shopper :-) Don't forget Live at Leeds Gold MFSL! |
