Linn klimax solo vs klimax chakra twin

TDA2200,

My experience with cables was different from yours. When getting my Linn Kontrol and Charkra Twin, a Linn dealer recommended me to use another brand of interconnects, at the time, I thought he was trying to sell me extra cables and disregarded it, I chose to use Linn’s silver interconnects that came with the amps, and I noticed a sound that was typical Linn's, natural with little color, and a bit on the lean side. Later on, after a few months of initial purchase of Linns, I thought about upgrade and decided to try different brand of interconnects, I went through Nordost Valhalla, Argento Serenity Reference, and eventually, settled on Vitus' Andromeda cables. I noticed very large difference in each change. In my current set up, with Vitus interconnects from source to Linn Kontrol, and in between Kontrol and Twin, I regard the difference is like night and day comparing to using the Linn’s silver. Of course, change does not necessarily mean improvement, but in my case, I felt the Vitus cables provide my system with a much fuller, much more dynamic, and more resolute sound without losing any speed or naturalness.

I know the above comments sound like it is from a cable salesman, but it was my personal experience with my system.

Still looking forward to hear from you after you get the solos!

the worst thing about this hoppy is cables.

I at one time bourgt some very expensic Vertex aq from UK both balanced digital cables and speaker cables that where suppose to be the best cables in the world for tact/lyngdorf digital amps wich i was using at the time.

When i installed them i thourgt wow what a difference bigger soundstage better bass and so on and where happy with the upgrade.

Then one day i thougt i would try my old solid core taralabs cables wich cost 50 usd or somting new .
Wow more solid soundstage better highs more smooth sound more musical
I admitialy sold all the vertex aq cables

Thats why the moderat prices linn sliver interconnects seems like a no brainer.

Loooooong story but i will actualy first buy the solos within a week or so so in the between time i have to decide wheter to buy the silvers or not.

Maybe i shoud get some off the better tara labs ic´s instead

regards

Re your experiece with cables, it looks to me that although not at first, but you eventually found that the tara labs worked better for your existing system. For your new Solos, you may also need to try different brands to find out what works.

I think getting the Linn's Silver is still a good idea, after all, it was designed by Linn for use on its gears, it should be a better match with Linn amps than most others. My suggestion is to use the Silver as a starting point with the Solos, and then you can try other cables in the future to see if they work any better.

By the way, you may check into if your Solos come with Silver interconnects.

Hi Wenrhuang

It was not that i diddent beleive you and diddent agree with you that cable could make an improvment only that one have to be carefull to not get caught in the more ultra expensiv cables the better trap.

The silver interconnects are not included but the are offerd to me at a fair price by the dealer when buying the solos .

Im also getting sonus faber cremona speakers wich add that fullness and warmth that the linns may lack so a precise and well design cables as the silvers seems like a good place to start just as you stated.

Hi wenrhuang

I decides not to get the silvers but i have ordered the solos today finaly.

It seems that almost every day i find another higeend company thats from denmark like vitus audio today,

I called them up and actually talked to vitus himself i think that i will try the andromedas out
sounds very prommissing since it was one off the cable gurus from argento that was hired for the job.

How much did you pay ?

regards
