I used to own a CD12. £12,000. I sold it. I have used a pile of Linn gear since 1982. I know what it sounds like. They came to my house and installed one of the first "Aktiv" systems in the world...when I blew a tweeter they came back (from Scotland) and spent most of the evening at my house listening to vinyl. It was great fun.
The SB3+good DAC beats it. To MY ears - I prefer the SB3+DAC. I will listen to the Klimax DS. The Klimax amps are simply amazing - at an amazing price unfortunately. The Linn Artikulat and Akkurate speaker systems are also superb to my ears - but then I do like the "Linn" sound. However I would add that no mod on the planet is anything even remotely close to getting RC sorted out first. I'm amazed that Linn don't do something on that front. Once you have RC sorted then some mods make sense. That's my position and I ain't changing it. YMMV. -- 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=38106
