What Linn Kairn to get

Thanks Lhblhb for your info. I am presently using Klout with VTL 2.5 preamp but on the look-out for a used Kairn with Slimline Brilliant Power supply as recommended by everyone. I must say that I am impressed with the Klout, refined with lots of slam and natural detail and fairly good soundstage in my present setup. As far as the my Proac 2, they just sound good with everything. One of my future upgrade plan is definitely the Proac 3.8 ... I have heard nothing but fantastic comments/reviews on these. There was a nice pair of cherry finish 3.8 on the Gon recently and I had to force myself not to buy them, (the temptations were very strong) the problem is that my listening room is just not big enough for 3.8. What cabling are you using with your Linn equipment ?

I use Linn Silver IC's throughout and LkK400 birwire cable to connect the speakers. If you do get a Kairn, spring for the Silver IC's. The sound much warmer, bigger, with more presence and impact and yet more refined at the same time. A "must have" in my opinion with Linn Electronics. And of course Linn amps work best with Linn speaker cables, and the Proac's are set up for biwiring, so the LK400 is a no-brainer.

Perfect, thanks.

I will follow your recommendations and get Linn cables...they will show up on the Gon one of these days. I wanted to try my Cardas Cross speakers cables but was not able to because they have spade terminals and was not able to find suitable adapters. In the mean time, I have been using Nordost cables but they are definitely not the best with this set-up..way too bright.

Is there a way to tell from the outside (perhaps by serial number) if it has the better power supply?
