| Linn Karik/Numeric vs Genki I can't comment much on the Ikemi, but am very pleased with the Genki I have using bi-aktiv LK85s and Ninkas. A lot of people complain about the drawer- generally seems their only complaint. Is it as slick as the Ikemi's- obvious. But are you buyi... | |
| AC power cord termintation I picked up an industrial grade Leviton 5266c [did nto see Hosiptal expressly listed]. I cannot find information as to the distinction, is there in fact a difference between Industrial and Hospital grades? | |
| Linn Classic--Any Alternatives? The NAD has classic dimensions, ie of a standard chassis. The LINN is, of course, LINN sized. Perhaps worth considering if size is an issue.Another consideration: Denon makes somes decent little shelf systems mated to Mission speakers. Not quite a... | |
| ATC for Home Theater??? I first heard them in Cambridge, UK about ten years ago; active 50s- the memory is still with me. There is a dealer here in Chicago that currently sells ATC.Passive 20s with klout[s] are quite nice too. ATC trades a small amount of pace/tunefulnes... | |
| Biamping with Linn LK85 and LK140 - any problem? Contrary to common practice, LINN advises the LK140 to be used for the treble. Their logic and credo is, do what sounds best.The LK140 is a better sounding amp, and so they would have it placed where most of the information heard is.In a further v... | |
| ATC for Home Theater??? Ah, such things to dream on. I have an all LINN setup and would trade for ATC if I had the cheese. The midrange is spellbinding. | |
| Rack effects on aktiv equipment Unfortuntely, no. The cards are Keilidh cards, which LINN confirm are a correct match for my Ninkas and should be fine to use. Given the sound is little changed in overall character from my Majik when biamping, I believe the amps are in proper ord... | |
| Rack effects on aktiv equipment Genki, K400 and Std LINN ICs. So far everyone is stumped. The dealer doesn't believe it's a room affect either.The only thing hasn't been is send the cards to LINN for testing, which seems dubious. | |
| How can I solve a Linn Have you tried moving them closer to the wall? I've found Tukans to be a little bright too. I'm currently using my Majik as a pre to two LK85s. I listened to it with just one of them for a little while to guage the effect of biamping- mostly more ... | |
| Has anyone used the PS Audio Ultimate Outlet? They say it just doesn't sound good [ie tuneful]. They also recommend using their power cords. | |
| Has anyone used the PS Audio Ultimate Outlet? I haven't but was considering one for my LINN gear. Apparently LINN say don't go there. | |
| Are Linn Tukans a bit on the bright side? LINN can definitely sound a little live on the top. I just went active with my Ninkas, Genki source too, Majik as pre. Auditioned the latest Tukans with my Majik and thought they were a bit scratchy [AMC CD6 front at the time].If you are using the... | |
| LINN aktiv vs passive biamping Just talked to LINN directly-The gentleman I spoke with said he had actually heard of my complaint from consumers and dealers alike. His strong recommendation was to ensure that the post-nuts on the Ninkas' terminals are VERY tightly fastened.Appa... | |
| LINN aktiv vs passive biamping LINN tell me that the cards should work fine with the Ninkas. I was able to talk to a dealer who suggested that the speaker placement was probably to blame. Apparently aktiv speakers can need to be further away from the wall to avoid the midrange ... | |
| LINN aktiv vs passive biamping After playing with the treble a bit, some of the image and forwardness improved. But there is no immediacy. Louis Prima sounds like someone gave him valium. Jimi Hendrix is just playing notes at a recital. One may hear every ridge of his fingerpri... |
