Re: 1986 Linn LK1/LK2
Are you planning a vintage system John?
HAKAI
I have finally decided to sell my Hakai. This was my gateway into genuinely enjoyable streaming. Motherboard is the Gigabyte GA-N3150N-D3V. Intel 320 series SSD. RGeek Mini ITX Computer Case.

Re: Playlist
This is my son's LP. King Gizzard gave away the FLAC of the album and stipulated that anyone could press the vinyl if they sent a copy to the band. The producer of this pressing created a series of limited editions, each of 25 discs, with different artwork. These artifacts are closer to limited edit...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Thanks Spannko and Fredrik. I have just switched back to the old K400, and some of the edginess has gone. The dressmaker has offered to add another dummy on the left to aid symmetry, but I wasn't sure if you were serious Fredrik! I think I'll pause on the repeated back and forth of driver torque tun...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Thanks everyone Between before and after: Re-terminated k400 with Fredrik's solder and recommended temperature Replaced the crossover plates with k400 jumpers Sealed the speaker drivers To my ears the first two were an unmitigated improvement. The third is more complex. It brought much more precisio...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
I have recorded a third clip. Please let me know which you prefer. If you have already compared 'before' and 'after' maybe just compare 'after' and 'tighter': Before https://photos.app.goo.gl/GLNGC4sH8m22yrGL9 After https://photos.app.goo.gl/MJBvuVvxY42QR3D4A Tighter https://photos.app.goo.gl/hTy2Dy...

Re: Recommended network components
Would it be worth using Ubiquity HD as another WI Fi network to feed my Kallas, ie keep the Virgin Hub as a router. I presume I would just connect one of the Ubiquity HD units to the virgin Hub with an Cat 6 cable. I am using it in this way. I have a PlusNet modem/router that is just being used as ...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
I think that the clips are pretty representative of what I hear in the room, so it's v interesting and helpful to read what you all think of them. I think that Fredrik's description of 'sloppy' for 'before' is very apt. I have made some more changes and will record another clip before making what I ...

How disruptive for you - but also exciting. I hope the move goes well and the new HQ works out even better without water.

Re: Pete's System
would you care to elaborate on the details of the sealant you used. might be a good experiment for my spare kabers. I followed the steps detailed here and used the same sealant recommended: https://hifikabin.me.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2665 I was initially planning to test with a pair of sacrificial spea...

Re: Playlist
I finally feel that I'm hearing this LP properly for the first time, despite owning it on various media for the last 37 years.

Re: Linn Akito/1 Refresh
Thanks for your thoughts.
I think I'll just bide my time and enjoy the deck as it is.
Despite the Akito's disappointing failure in the vertical and horizontal bearing tests, I'm really enjoying the LP12.

Linn Akito/1 Refresh
Now that I know my Akito bearings need a service, I'm wondering if I should also consider a rewire. I've been recommended J7. Has anyone had bearings and wiring serviced for the Akito/1? It would cost in total 1/3-1/2 the price of a used Ittok. I don't know what sort of tune impact the wiring would ...

Re: Pete's System
I followed Peter Swain's recommendation to replace the foam gaskets in my Espeks with a sealant. I wish I had recorded before and after clips as the difference is substantial, with improvements across the whole frequency range. It's like I have new speakers. I applied the same torques to the drivers...
