| Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll To begin with, you have to follow the market to be an informed consumer, at least for your favourite products/manufacturers. By doing this, you will know what a fair price is. I will also assume that I'm dealing with somebody who also knows the ma... | |
| How frequently do you check Audiogon listings? When I'm in buying mode, I check every hour or two. When I'm selling, it has happened that I've had offers within fifteen minutes of posting. Other times, no offers for a month, even though hundreds of hits have been registered on the ad. I think ... | |
| Good amp for Linn Kairn pre I think the Kairn is a very nice preamp and any Linn person would suggest you mate it with a Linn power amp. Linn has a reputation for synergy with their products. Since the Klout is now discontinued, you may find one used for a good price, althou... | |
| Budget DVD suggestions? I think that at your price range, the Pioneer suggested in the other posts would be good. Another advantage of the Pioneer is that it does both SACD and DVD-A. Many other brands do one but not both. Sony, for instance, will do SACD, but not DVD-A.... | |
| help on center speaker Remember that the Afekt is factory set to match the Unik. If you put it with a "larger" speaker with better bass response than the Unik, such as an Index, you may find the bass a bit tubby. This is what happened when I put an Afekt with Tukans. I ... | |
| tukan V's katan The treble on the Tukans can be adjusted if you think that they are a bit bright. It's not a user adjustable modification, but a Linn dealer can do it for you. There is a reference to this in the Tukan's owner's manual. | |
| Linn Classik Afekt subwoofer I've been running an Afekt with Linn Tukans. Nice combo provided that you adjust the factory settings on the sub. The Afekt is made to mate with Uniks, which are small. So the factory defaults set the crossover lower than is appropriate for larger... | |
| Best speaker sytem for Linn majik+mimik setup? I had a Mimik and Majik driving Tukans. It's a nice combo. The newer Katans are similar. I later added an LK 85 to passively bi-amp the Tukans. Bass improved, background detail was increased and the Majik ran cooler with the LK 85 helping it. Howe... | |
| linn speaker ninka- active vs passive Aktiv is the way to go with Linn. Your comments about the Linn sounding thin on the bass the first time you heard them is the same experience I had. However, once I played material with strong bass lines, specifically listening for it, I found tha... | |
| using different amps for Bi-amping ,any good ?? l I think biwiring is system dependent. I use all Linn gear myself, which is made with the intention of upgrading: bi-wiring, then multi-amping passive, then multi-amping active. When I took a pair of single wired Linn speakers and bi-wired, I notic... | |
| Linn Tuner Modules for Kairn, etc. I installed a Kudos tuner in my Majik. It goes in a Majik or Wakonda, but not a Kairn. I don't know about the Kolector as I'm not familiar with it. Since it is discontinued, it may be hard to find a new one that isn't already installed. When it is... | |
| Linn aktiv cards Tukans and Katans use the same Aktiv cards. This information came from Linn's online customer helpline in response to another question which I had asked them. | |
| Lou Reed, Perfect Day? "Perfect Day" is from Lou Reed's "Transformer" album. One of my favourites. |
