@Charlie1: So, the 212's are leaving, what's next?

New hinges machined from aluminium, the lid stays open in any position you want.

A few pics:

@Hermann: Maybe the new Graham 5/5f floorstanders are the right speakers for you? I was very impressed by them at the Norddeutsche HiFi-Tage this year.
Were the 5/5 you borrowed brand new?

I only listened to "Take Five" and preferred G2, the drummer sounded a bit disjointed on G1.

I don't have a Google account...

Getting ready for Bruce's gig here in Hamburg on the 15th July

Very nice! That looks like the first stereo issue from 1963.

Both sounding very good to me!

I've had that impression a bit with the '92-spec deck (+Adikt) but thought it seemed about right once it was bought up to 2002-spec, but maybe I just got used to it. Any thoughts on what might be causing it, or where to look?

Karousel fitted?

Nice! But aren't they a bit tight, so that it's hard to get the records out?

I prefer "now" as well, I find it makes the rhythm of the song clearer.

Not revealing yet, but since both of you liked B, how about these two?

Just some messing around with switches and cat cables, since my SG-108tv2 died on me twice Can you spot differences? Which one you prefer?

I hate Kans! They are too transistor radioey for me. May I ask which source and amps were used in front of the Kans? They are quite sensitive there and reveal lesser sources ruthlessly. With a top-LP12 from that time, Kairn pre-amp and 2 x Klouts, they sounded all but anemic and certainly not trans...

Nice work!

Yes, I have. There are a number of those out there. Unfortunately I have yet to hear one. But judging by Mr. Volk's views and comments on the improvements, I suspect they aim primarily at "improving the sound" and not the tune. So beware and do listen before taking such a step or buying one second-h...

The thing with Linn's choice of drivers for the 360 is that if they were aiming at speakers that are a good compromise between looking good and sounding good, then the Seas drivers make a lot of sense. But in that case, why not aim to produce speakers that retail at £3000 to £15,000? In that market...

Very convincing, Sopper! Congratulations!

Thanks very much for this useful info. Meanwhile, the 360's are finally on the homepage: https://www.linn.co.uk/de/speakers/360

They are European sourced, so far it hasn't been revealed (officially anyway) from which supplier/s. Pretty sure they aren't standard issue, but adapted to Linn's specifications. The mid driver has some resemblance to some of PMC's drivers, let's see if it will be revealed, when the 360's are offici...

Thanks very much. I'll take a closer look at the Dual. Could be a good recommendation. My kids aren't teenagers who succumb to a fashion trend. They know exactly how to get their music. The daughter now also vinyl. She gets some of my double-collected albums as a starter package Here's a Linn Basik...
