Linn Genki variable output versus Majik pre-amp


Does anyone have experience with the Linn Genki variable pre-output versus using the pre-amp in the Majik? Is there much of a difference, or is the sound about the same? Thanks for your advice.

Not exactly. I've owned the Genki and ran it alone and through my Wakonda. The sound was better through the preamp.
The Genkis variable outputs are not known to be of highest quality. To get best performance from your Genki, use the fixed outputs and turn the volume on the Genki down to 0. Then go into the Genkis settings and disable volume control when using the remote.
The Majik, definitely. The Genki sounds a little bright and hashy by comparison, esp. in an all LINN setup [my frame of ref.]. If you can get a Wakonda, even better yet!
