Linn Ninkas now Aktiv but a couple questions.
Finally figured out Patrick's toe-in measurement. I was at about 2.5" not .75" It does help to straighten them out. And thanks Tim for the measurements. I have been muddling around the 15-20" from the rear wall but I think I'll try the zone 1/2 that. 
Linn Ninkas now Aktiv but a couple questions.
Thanks for the thought Samir. I have been swithching things around including putting the Linn IC's back in but I have to disagree. The yamamura's are so much more transparent and detailed than the Linn. The Blue Heaven vs. the Linn is a different ... 
Linn Ninkas now Aktiv but a couple questions.
Thanks. Tim, I am interested in the before and after measurements on distance from the rear wall. Also thoughts on distance from the side wall? My room is about 12'l x 9'w x 7.5'h. Tiny I know as it has the speakers only about 4.5 to 5 feet apart,... 
Upgrade amp power cable or not?
I bought a Synergistic Research Master Coupler on Audiogon not sure where to put it in my system. (an experiment as I have read good things) It went into the power amp first and there it stayed. I'm not great with the lingo but I became a believer... 
A question about power.
Thanks 
Linn Ninkas aktiv vs. not?
Fair enough. I didn't know. Well if you do go with the espek I'd be interested to know what you think. 
B & W cdm7nt vs. Linn Ninka
Thanks. I am looking at the same cables and I haven't seen anything close to that price. True about the Ninka stands but here in Canada the whole is closer to $2800-$2900 before the haggling. 
B & W cdm7nt vs. Linn Ninka
Not to labour the point but I was wondering where you purchased and how much you paid. I have suspected that the local dealer had overpriced the B&W's at $3000cdn. Whereas the Ninka's (at another dealer)were $2500 cdn which I have confirmed as... 
Hubbell IG8300. Fantastic results
These results were all immediate and I haven't even begun the burn-in so it should be interesting. I wrote the post literally hours after I installed the outlet. Isn't burning it in by using it good enough? 
B & W cdm7nt vs. Linn Ninka
I see elsewhere that you've gone with the B&W's How's that working out? 
Linn Ninkas aktiv vs. not?
Marc. I heard from the local Linn dealer that the Espek is only activ in a tri-amp situation. 
How should I set up my system?
Does anyone know where I can get the secret decoder ring for this post? 
B & W cdm7nt vs. Linn Ninka
Same as Lugnut. I was looking at the same two speakers when I bought and ended up with the Linn (and I don't even have other Linn components), and now I'm on the brink of making them active! Considering your other components definitely stay with t... 
Linn Ninkas aktiv vs. not?
From reading Flightmight's reply I'm wondering if anyone knows how to bi-amp bfore the aktiv stage. Is it daisy chained or do you need two separate IC outputs from the pre-amp? If the former then the speaker wires out of the second amp, I guess. A... 
Linn activ cards installation
Thanks for the replies. Good to hear it's so easy.
