    Which power amp for Linn Ninka's? BI-wired or single wired?

    Actually you should go for bi-amp and not bi-wire. Many years ago I sold a Majik 4100 with aktiv card to a customer who had Ninkas and I still remember how good was that system (Majik CD player and Majik preamp too). That same power amp now is in my hands (he upgraded to powered Akubarik) but no...

    USB versus Ethernet - a study reveals the winner

    You need to better customize the Minimserver tags view in order to get the most also from classical music. Also don't forget that the server can rely only on the metadata that are in the files so you need also to be sure that all the information you need are actually available. The dbpoweramp...

    Ref110 binding post

    Thanks for your input. So, if I undertsood clearly, those f******g pins are screws and this means that the binding post has a thread inside? Not really a good match with the Z plug IMHO..... I will use adaptor too or replace the Z plug on my speaker cable with spade.

    Ref110 binding post

    I will probably get a Ref110 power amp and I was wondering if there is any way to take out those pins in the binding post in order to use my favourite banana connector (Z plug). Anyone can help? Thanks in advance.

    Back in time, the good time, in 1956, when spinning albums and listening from Quad ESL speakers ...

    Looks like Quad preamp and tuner.

    Low-cost streamer compares to Aurender

    Please note that the albums on Tidal can be from a different master from the CD you have, and this can be one source of the difference you are hearing. The digital output from the Bluesound can also be another source of the issue (and the digital cable of course).

    Raidho founders dump speaker company to peddle cables. Not surprising. Good luck to new team!

    I do not want to start a debate but what you are referring is simply not true! I've had the chance to partecipate to several of the Lars demo during the shows in Guangzhou as well as in my shop in Shanghai and I never see something like you are saying happening. Yes, he was changing the track...

    A decent budget 'audiophile' streaming system?

    Airplay is a much better option than bluetooth if you are using iDevices and is available on the Linn unit. Bluetooth can be added easily with a cheap device as the Project Bluetooth E. Cheers

    A decent budget 'audiophile' streaming system?

    Functions and featurues are absolutely the same between the old (no HDMI) and the new one. What do you need exactly?

    A decent budget 'audiophile' streaming system?

    I will suggest you to look for a Linn Majik DSM (you can also consider the older no HDMI input). Very reliable, easy to install and to update, excellent sound quality (no wireless, no bluetooth on-board or USB input, not a big lost IMHO). I've paired with several speakers including Martin Logan...
