I atended a klimax demo yestoday and alot of the questians asked here was answerd.
First of the klimax DS is ment like the Sondek LP12 player was back when it was launced. Its hardware and software is 100% upgradeble and will be upgraded as time goes . The linn people where very clear about this, and expressed strongly that if you buy one it will never be dated. unlike the squessbox 1,2,3 The klimax casing really needes to be seen (and felt)to be apriciated , in my oppinion its impossible to improve apone. The system was unfamiliare to me so its hard to describe have it really sounded. But the sound had that special kvality the sondek lp12 SE with the current full specs have, where it seems to pull out so much more detajls in the lower bass regions then what im used to herer from other systems. Bass lines starts stops goes up goes down , wherer other playes just playes . The sound was also completly free of grain noise and and colour. I know it sounds old but it truly sounded like real music, All music also sounded completly different , and extremly musical. The studiomater files sounded amazing also but im not into irish music so i will not comment on that. When i got home and tried to listen to the same recordings whole notes seems to be missing in the bass regioons. The klimax DS is a Wow player and somthing that causes me to forever to spind around its axis. I think linn wanted to make the ultimat no bs digital source with this one. No digital output, no digital in ,no word clock no big neon sigend display , no nothing Only 2 analog outputs. A bit like a race car . -- harmonic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harmonic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38815 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
