Cheers Clive - I learned many years ago that I could never subscribe to that quasi-religious stuff that started in the late 70's... I was lucky enough to buy one of the very first Linn AKtiv systems (after they had the bust up with Naim and launched their own power amps). That alone put me in strange territory with the flat-earth society :o). I've done the whole LP12 bit but had to get out before I went bankrupt! (the CD12 was a bargain by comparison!). I do like Linn gear a lot - I like the engineering which is generally first-rate,,,and I like the sound. I do wish they would start producing sensibly priced gear again. I am not a millionaire, I don't have an Aston Martin or a luxury yacht. That seems to be their primary market these days. Fortunately they do still (just about) make reasonably priced power amps, but I have no idea what I would do if lost my 5103 or speakers... Actually I do. I'd go and get some active ATC's ;o) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38815 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
