| Best system for the budding audiophile? You could set up very nice Linn active (aktiv) system for under 5K. You should at least give it a listen. For jazz, piano, strings...IMO for everything, the Linn system does it better. It's errors are errors of omission - you won't find bloated ba... | |
| Best system for the budding audiophile? The molecular structure of interconnects is NOT what a budding audiophile needs to worry about. Nor is "a dedicated power line". Come on guys. Why impose your neurosis on a well-intentioned newcomer? Tube vs Solid State? Fair enough. Planar vs. co... | |
| Are active speakers the best upgrade How are Meridian active speakers? I've never heard the DSP 5000's (or any of their speakers for that matter), nor have I heard many audiophiles talk about them. Are they good? How do they compare to Linn's active speakers or other makers passive d... | |
| Are active speakers the best upgrade I suspect that the fetish factor of amps, cables, crossovers made with air core inductors blah blah...etc. is just too great. An active system makes everything just too plain and simple for the obsessive compulsive audiophile. | |
| Are active speakers the best upgrade Have a listen to a Linn Aktiv system. 'Going aktiv', once you've got a good source, is the big upgrade that Linn advocates, and that Linn freaks swear by. Meridian takes it even further - straight from the digital source to the active speaker with... | |
| what does a Rectifier tube do? A 'rectifier' is what you get after you eata da spicy meataballs. (C'mon audiogon, can't you let at least one low-brow joke through?) | |
| Sound quality vs. Mood I have often found that Oscar Peterson never sounds better on my system than when there are wafts of garlic and basil coming from the kitchen and my girlfriend and I have a lingering buzz from the bottle of shiraz we are drinking. | |
| Is anyone else getting annoyed with... Sugarbrie, I don't think their marketing strategy is a very good one. Excuse me if I sound snobish, but I don't think Audiogoners are the cretinous types who fall for that obnoxious approach to advertising - I think it turns people away. I agree t... | |
| Rack effects on aktiv equipment I have an Linn Keilidh/LK140 system that I went aktiv with after the first 6 months. During the switch to aktiv I had all of the components stacked up on top of one another on the floor. When I switched to aktiv there was a noticeable improvement ... | |
| 1000 budget for speakers and integrated - HELP A Linn Majik and Keilidhs would be possible for a little more than 1000 - between 1250 - 1500 if you are patient and wait for the right deals to come along. For your musical tastes I think you will be extremely satisfied. The Keilidhs are often ov... | |
| Bit perfect copies I enquired with Linn about problems I had been having while playing CDR's on my Genki. Certain CDR's (roughly 25% of my 'burned' CD's) suffered from occasional background shuffling sounds as well as occasional but very prononced ticks and crackles... | |
| Linn Majik vs Kairn/LK85 On several occasions I have compared the Kolektor to the Wakonda(which I use) and the Kolector has always sounded rough by comparison - almost as rough as the variable pre-out of the Genki. Has anyone ever looked inside a Kolector? Linn has certai... | |
| Upgrade for Linn Classik The Classik/Tukan is a very balanced match - any change would trigger a chain-reaction of further upgrades. If you go active many would advise you to go with a better pre, and certainly a better source - and that is after you have already spent 2K... | |
| Soliloquy 5.0 biwire fakes? Are there jumpers that need to be removed? | |
| BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000? (most of) you guys... |
