| LINN Majik vs Classik vs Wakonda vs Kairn Using the Pre-outs is a 'sneaky' way to power a another amp if you want to drive larger speakers and you can still use the amp in the Majik to drive smaller speakers while connected to an external amp, This is just an option if you want to use the... | |
| Marantz SA-8001 vs Rega vs TRL Mods vs ? No turning back, eh? Will I be held prisoner? What's the rest of the story? | |
| HSU HB-1: 2-Way Satellite Speaker Bargain of 2006? Further to all of this: I appreciate the tip for ONIX speakers. I ordered a pair of the Reference-1's and have to say that they are outstanding speakers, beautifully finished and very musical! They are a great match for the Onix SP3 Tube amp... Bu... | |
| HSU HB-1: 2-Way Satellite Speaker Bargain of 2006? Agreed, bargains abound thanks to the industrious fruit of Communist Chinese Labor. Thanks for the recommendation. I was just surprised at how good a $125 speaker could sound. I have no brand loyalty and like most, usually end up purchasing compon... | |
| Linn Ittok IV II - The Best Cartridge Match ? I have a Kairn with Brilliant Power Supply. My well worn K18 actually sounds pretty good, but I always knew I needed to update that part of my system to an MC. The more I hear about the Linto, it seems to offer good value as an upgrade. It might b... | |
| Linn Linto, Lingo, Kairn & AV5103 Thanks Class...There I go, assuming that Linn wouldn't offer a high end controller without a Phono Section. I keep heading backwards in time while Linn heads?? It seems I would be no better off with an AV5103, than with my Kairn and a decent AV sw... | |
| Linn Linto, Lingo, Kairn & AV5103 Thanks, I have an Ittok LVII with a K18. I'm thinking of upgrading to a decent MC, Perhaps an AT OC9, AT33PTG or a Shelter 501. (The AT33PTG sounds very good for the price and other Ittok users have had good results...)The problem I see in upgradi... | |
| Linn Ittok IV II - The Best Cartridge Match ? Thanks for the suggestions. It seems that many have had good results with the OC9-Ittok combination. Still others have praised the lesser known AT33PTG as slightly more detailed than the OC9 and 'better' overall. The Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood recom... | |
| Aktiv Keltiks or Aktiv Espeks - Which are Better? I have received similar feedback from another Linn dealer, who had a chance to hear Keltiks for several years. He prefered the Kabers or Ninka's Aktiv and felt that the move from Kaber to Espek might not be worth it. He recommended the Akurate spe... | |
| Aktiv Keltiks or Aktiv Espeks - Which are Better? Many thanks for the insights here. I know what you mean about the Kabers. I have never heard a nicer sounding setup for their size, and the value per investment on the used market is very good for an Aktiv system of this caliber. You confirm my fe... |
