| Linn Wakonda question There is no way to make the Wakonda revert to the last souce it was on when powered up (unlike the Kairn). I believe you can, however, change the display preferences to make the display lighting constant. I'll check my owner's manual and get back ... | |
| Question about selling on Audiogon A little secret: "New Today" reflects a few days worth of stuff. It really doesn't matter what time you list; there are other ways to get more attention to your ad, I suppose. | |
| LINN aktiv vs passive biamping The cards are exactly the same for Ninkas and Keilidhs; I have a pair of Keilidhs with new Ninka activ cards, in fact. I'm dissapointed to hear of your continued sound problems! I would begin to consider at this point the possibility that you may ... | |
| LINN aktiv vs passive biamping Have you adjusted the treble level on back of one of the LK-85s? If so, and they still sound flat, perhaps you oughtta call Linn in Jacksonville and ask them about card compatibility. If the Keilidhs formerly driven had the old tweeter, there may ... | |
| LINN aktiv vs passive biamping Also, you should notice that speaker placement becomes less of an issue with properly burnt-in cards and amps. However, you may want to double check, if possible, to make sure that your cards are installed properly and that your connection is corr... | |
| LINN aktiv vs passive biamping Believe it or not, active cards take some time to burn in. My dealer installed mine in my two well-broken-in LK-140s, which drive Keilidhs. Though I did not track the change, it took a good couple of months for the cards alone to break in and begi... | |
| Rega P3 / Music Hall MMF 5 or 7 Turntable decision Please don't pay any attention to a Technics recommendation! The new P3 is a big improvement over the old Planar 3, primarily because of the new power supply. The RB-300 is not over-rated; it's a tremendous arm that alone is worth the money. Pair ... | |
| Arcam alpha 7 upgrade/alternatives/useds for 1000 I made the upgrade move from the Alpha 7 to the 9. Since then I've made many other improvements to my system and have found myself listening to the CD source less and less. I agree with Fineberg's statement that Arcam charges a high price for that... | |
| commodity liquidity I've noticed the same development. As a worker in the mutual fund industry, I may be well positioned to offer an insight. As U.S. equity markets have gradually come down from their highs in Spring 2000, the level of disposable wealth in the countr... | |
| Need help on cartridge recommendation, under 500. I would second the recommendation on the Grado Sonata at $500. Sweet midrange. Musical. | |
| Favorite sounding interconnects? Brown Electronic Labs (BEL). Reasonably priced ($200/1M). Trounce most cables costing 5 times as much. Check out the reviews. | |
| Which Linn pre-amp Iv'e had a Wakonda for a few months now and am impressed overall. I'm strictly a two-channel type as well. I recently spent some time in my dealer comparing the Wakonda to the Kolektor. (I'll fill you in on this comparison even though you asked ab... | |
| Interconnects for Linn Genki and LK 85's BEL Labs "The Cable" works spledidly with the Arcam Alpha 9 CD Player (in the same range as the Genki) and the Alpha 9R amp. I've heard the Tara Labs, and these are a definite step up in both soundstaging and overall resolution. Far superior. You'... |
