No, I was not talking about turntables. I was talking about electronics I would expect that a new, timewarp 1973 turntable would sound better than a 1973 turntable in 2007, since mechanical things get worse over time. Meridian sells upgrade modules to their controllers. Its hard to tell how much the upgrade ability adds to the cost, even if you never use it. > The klimax chasing is the only thing that will not change. > Upgrades will be factory upgrades and will only acure when a > significaly improvment have been made. > The linn klimax solos amplifires are unchanged since 1999. > The linn klimax twin was upgraded in 2005 with a new amplifire designe > the called chakra. We used to talk about upgrading cars that way. Some cars you could improve easily. Others you needed to 'jack up the radiator cap' and replace everything underneath. If you took my 1999 vintage firewall and replaced the motherboard, CPU and disk drives, is that an upgrade? or just an expensive and labor intensive way to get a new modern machine? -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
