Re: Beck and his black boxes.
What you cannot see in the picture is the furniture on the left and the right side of the system making it impossible to bring the speakers further apart. The system is standing in my bedroom. By my efforts and some luck it just sounds fabulous like this. I am sorry that I don't know the record you ...

Re: Beck and his black boxes.
Yes, I have made my choice and will pursue the road of tune and "boogie" factor nodding my head to the beat (I cannot help it) and when the record reaches the end I will look up with a smile on my face thinking "what happened here, already finished?", going back to my Sondek to put on a new piece of...

Re: Linn LK240 mono amplifiers
Yes, I would think the same if I had not been listening to this particular setup. I have done things to my setup that you not normally would do. The power cord from my LK100 is plugged in between two powerfilters not as such using them but it makes a big difference to the sound. Non of my LK gear us...

Re: Linn LK240 mono amplifiers
I once listened to a 5105 and found it sterile and boring but it was some years ago. Actually I am a bit sad if that is the case. I hoped to find something special with the LK240 as I have found a pair for sale. Well, the proof is in the listening so I might give them a chance. I will give your amps...

Beck and his black boxes.
Partly bought second hand I really like what I have now and listen to it as often as I can. I have used a lot of time over the years optimising it (earthing, filtering the power, how to place the power cords and doing other things. Two things I am dead serious about when choosing equipment to my set...
Re: Exakt
I think your discription is fair. My ever so unscientific take on music and digital is that digital can always get closer but will never reach the destination.
Dispite the fog and mud and dust analog has always been there in the first place!

Re: Exakt
I will try to keep an open mind but Linn has become quite a different beast from what once was. Ivor is no longer in control and his opinion is the only one I trust. The Linn sound has gradually changed in my view to something different from when he started. I have come to the point where my system ...
Re: Exakt
I simply cannot accept that I have to break my analog signal from my lp12 into small pieces when I know that the hardware behind making 0 and 1 is not flawless. From the time when I played games on my computer I know that the speed of the calculations going on can change from one moment to another (...

Linn LK240 mono amplifiers
Does anyone here know this amplifier and is it worth looking for as a replacement for my old LK100. I got my hands on a 2250 but it is going out the door again. I prefer the sound from the LK amps. I find the 2250 bordering on "out of tune" sound. The same goes for a late Kairn with smps that I list...

In the process of optimising the sound from my sondek I have often been tempted by tweaks that made my sondek sound spacious and brillant just to end up unsatisfied because the music was pushed out of tune. I realise how tempting "out of tune" sound is. Many hifi products produce "out of tune" sound...

Sorry for the late reply. I made my mind up about the sKale by listening on the linn forum to recorded samples with and without the sKale. It was obvious to me that the sKale pushed the music out of tune. I have been experimenting with my sondek for a while now changing the stand it sits on. Going f...
