Linn klimax solo vs klimax chakra twin

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

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

Although not at one time, I ended up brought altogether 4 Andromeda's power cords, 2 pairs of interconnects, and 1 pair of digital interconnects. My Local Los Angeles dealer gave me a good discount off retail, I could send you my paying price over a private email.

I met Vitus in the last CES show, he and Anders--the cable designer---are so very nice. Actually, I discussed with them about my problem in using the Andromeda power cord, which is there is a hood on top of the back panel of Linn Klimax Kontrol that restricted the access space, and prvented the Andromeda power cord---or any cord using wattgate type of IEC connector---to be plugged into it; Anders told me he could find a good quality slim IEC and make a power cord for use on the Linn Kontrol. I appreciate his help, although I have not taken up on his offer yet.

Congratulations on the purchase! I wish you are local to me, I would really like to be able to compare a pair of Solos to my Twin first hand.
