| Brightness Differences Between Daytime and Evening Your system sounds better late at night because there is less use of electricity in your house, and your neighbor's, therefore less interference in the lines. | |
| Do you use spikes for tile/marbel floor? I have my spikes replaced with standard furniture glides from the hardware store. Meadowlark recommends this for their Kestrals, might work with your speakers as well. The thread size is common, 1/4 20. If this doesn't work Linn makes a product ca... | |
| How many of us have worked in audio stores? I worked at Franklin Music in Atlanta (mid 70's). They sold records and audio equipment, the best of both worlds. That job didn't pay squat, but the musical education and benefits (promo records and free tix to concerts) almost made it worth doing... | |
| How did U get into this expensive hobby? My father bought me an H.H. Scott all in one turntable/reciever for Christmas 1970,(I was 16). He gave me the Magnavox speakers he was using in his bedroom. 1973 I bought a used pair of mint Rectilinear 3's. The Scott would not drive them, I upgra... | |
| Extended Warrenty??? Most Electronics are "bad" right out of the box if they are going to fail. Under these circumstances the manufacturer's warranty will cover it. Extended warranties should never be purchased. | |
| Is this the norm? From a buyer's point of view, I have also had e-mails not returned. A couple of times lately, no response for 2-3 e-mails over 2-3 days, only to give up. Then see the item sold sometime later. If seller does not respond in a timely manner negative... | |
| Any funny audiofile stories??? Not too funny at the time, but I can laugh now. My son and his friend decided to play "Scratch DJ" with my Rega Planar 3/Sumiko Blue Point cartridge. | |
| GRASS ANYONE? Anything by the Seldom Scene, highly recommemded. Anything by Mike Auldridge. Dolly Parton's last two albums are superb. Doc and Merle Watson. The soundtrack "O Brother Where Art Thou". Anything by Del McCrory. Steve Earle has a killer blugrass al... | |
| Garage Sale Steals - What to look for? Check pawn shops also. I found a Linn Kairn Pro with Brilliant Power Supply (retail $2400) for $225. The best audio deal I ever made. | |
| Are Linn Tukans a bit on the bright side? Tukans are a bit bright, especially if you are used to a larger speaker. There is a tweeter adjustment (made by dealer). I would suggest room treatment first, ie. something on the side walls and on the wall behind listening spot. | |
| What to place under speaker spikes on hardwood Linn Skeets, they are just what you are looking for. ~ $75 for a box of eight. | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf? Linn Tukans work well on a shelf and close to rear wall. They are discontinued, but come up on Audiogon occasionally. Also consider Linn Kans or Katans, current bookshelf models. Linn electronics work best with Linn speakers and they are not fussy... | |
| "Downsizing" to a maybe better CDP? Creek CD43mk2, excellent player. A little over $700 though. Can be had here on Audiogon for $849. It does not have HDCD, I think HDCD is over rated anyway. I f you must have it Music Hall has a new player with it for about $500. I have not heard i... | |
| Bryston B60 - Is it worth it? How does it sound to you? This is the most important thing to consider. If you already own it and it works well with your other gear, then keep it. I read the British mags quite a bit, Hi Fi Choice has given not so great reviews on some products t... | |
| Do you drink when you listen? In response to the original question: yes sometimes. I prefer beer, only 2-4 at any one time. I also agree with those on this topic that condone herb. Being a Liberterian, I totally agree with Philefreak. The illegality of pot is a waste of taxpay... |
