Re: New Lejonklou headquarters
That seems fundamentally better to me and very enjoyable. Just on my phone speaker at the moment so can't comment on bass. EDIT: Just listened with headphones. Having recently switched from an old Samsung to iPhone 14 for system recordings, I suspect that at least part of the issue is the phone addi...

Re: Another observation…..
Not come across this approach before. I understand his statement that each album comes with a sound of it's own due to recording, production, mastering, etc. Agree with Zee that people have different preferences so one size will never fit all. I like Audio Note stuff but don't love it so I suppose t...

Re: 1986 Linn LK1/LK2
Interesting, tx Lego.
I think the LK280 has a bit more grunt than the Klout which surprised me.

Re: 1986 Linn LK1/LK2
I think this is where I hear both sides of the coin and end up trying to find a balance between the two, which I’m not sure exists.

Re: 1986 Linn LK1/LK2
What about when the Kairn/Klout came out? Did everyone prefer that to LK1/LK280? To my ears, with LK280 to Klout you hear Linn stepping towards tunedem from foot tapping focus.

Re: 1986 Linn LK1/LK2
I found these old pictures taken in 1989 after I had left the business. I could happily live with that system today and no there isn’t a speaker in that tv set.. Note much wrong with that, even by today's standards. Nicely vacuumed carpet too :D You know I think it was around 1989 that I was introd...

Re: 1986 Linn LK1/LK2
So was the dem you heard carried out by the same dealer mentioned in the second paragraph? My dealer today ran another dealership at that time, although he did later move to the one I visited in ‘89, but that was a couple of years later. They were good days and a very different landscape to today, ...

Re: 1986 Linn LK1/LK2
I had a dem in ‘89 and preferred Exposure but that’s all I remember. They didn’t sell Naim. My dealer had a Naim 6-pack with Isobariks and the original Naim LP12 kit comprising chrome bumper PSU (later became Armageddon), adjustable Ittok collar (never released) and MC boards for mounting inside the...

I'm not keen on tighter.
And on this track I slightly prefer before to after.

Re: Where to next?
If you're not enjoying vinyl as much as you once did then definitely question the Urika II approach and consider Entity/Tramp 2.
If you are enjoying your system very much then Radikal 2 upgrade makes most sense to me.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
A for me.
Particularly on the last track, the bass in B seems slightly disconnected from the main melody.

I know Linn aren't into blind listening tests but perhaps they should make an exception this time :)

Re: Source First theory and how far to take it?
The nearer my system is to the way I like to hear music reproduced (musical: ie, tuneful and harmonious) the less frequently I find I’m not enjoying it. It feels like the only component in my system which lets the side down at the moment are my diy loudspeakers ☹️, but the better they get, the long...

Re: Source First theory and how far to take it?
Being exhausted is not one of my triggers either. In my opinion, it lies in the background of the current mood, the causes of which I see as a trigger, the inner mode, so to speak. As soon as inner attention is "dispersed", emotional filters may create gaps in relation to external perception, which...

Re: Source First theory and how far to take it?
I’m not surprised after cycling that far! Have you not got a car or motorbike :D
I don’t really do exercise, unless you count a couple of 15-minute dog walks each day.
It’s a good point though but don’t think it’s tiredness related (for me) - I am pretty knackered after most work days.

Re: Source First theory and how far to take it?
Thanks for sharing Hermann and glad I’m not alone. In answer to your question, the two modes reflect times when one type of musical presentation is making a lot more sense over the other, either early-Linn/Naim or later-Linn/Lejonklou. But I need to add a standard mode where both make good sense, wh...

Re: Source First theory and how far to take it?
They are different systems in different rooms. It’s a good thought ref time of day but I’ve also noticed this with recordings on my phone, so one day a recording might really flow and the next the same recording might sound quite stilted and the timing all off. Nothing has changed but I’m experienci...
