Nice one, David! They do seem rather common.

You know one of the things I find about putting a question on this forum is that the answers, or even just the comments forthcoming, lead me on a quest within the internet that may commence with someone's link, or photo, or simply their comment. From this one question I've discovered and joined...

My Linn Sizmik has ceased to function. French power companies have much to answer for. Not satisfied with just cutting the power they have to do a rapid on-off-on-off for two or three seconds before deciding they've wrecked enough sensitive domestic electronic equipment so it can finally stay...

It's been a while since I posted an update to this thread, but things have become rather complicated. Earlier I wrote that the problem only occurred with the Ikemi. I was wrong. In fact, it occurs whatever the input: cd, turntable, streaming from the computer. I have a spare (though early) Kairn...

linnfomaniac: you've just brought me out in a cold sweat! You should know by now that, unlike you, I'm no wizard with electronics. I have looked closely at the boards and there is no visual sign of blown capacitors or burned resisters. Everything looks as good as when Linn built it. One other...

Hi Guys, I recently changed out the drawer belts on my Linn Ikemi, which all went very smoothly and the Ikemi reverted to it's usual glorious sound. All went well for a month or so but quite suddenly it began to distort badly, the bass is overblown, singers sound quite horrible, and I've noticed...

My Ikemi belts arrived. I ordered three to replace the two that operate the drawer mechanism and the one for the cradle lift. I purchased them from https://gbaudioshop.co.uk/ The guy there was very helpful. The belts are thinner than the originals and smaller in circumference, though I've no...

Yes, I'm getting no notifications either, even though I've ticked all the boxes. Don't rush to find the belts on my account, my friend, get your health back that's more important. I'll press on once I get the new belts from the eBay guy. Hopefully they'll fit and if there's a problem I'll post here.

David, thanks for responding. I saw this online, but they're all Picclick which send you straight to eBay. There's a guy there selling all sorts of belts and I've emailed to ask if any will fit the Ikemi. I got a response saying he was away until the 27th Feb, so maybe I'll have some joy there...

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help out. I need three drive belts for the Linn Ikemi and I cannot source them anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get them? Failing that does anyone know the size and perhaps a product number? Linn don't carry them anymore and there's none on eBay. I've...

Hey, that's really good of you! Would you need the whole thing or just the PS? I'd be very grateful if you could at least look at it for me, and I would of course cover your costs, etc.. There'd be no rush, I have a small DAC I'm using now. It's not as good as the Numerik of course, but at least...

Guys, I feel like a kindergarten kid who's accidentally wandered into a sixth form lecture of advanced electronics. I checked out RS and a couple of other sites you recommended, but I've no idea what they're selling. Most of it is totally foreign to me. I can change out the occasional blown...

Whoa, David! No-one's suggested changing out ALL the electrolytes. The only one I've changed is C3 on the smps board, which looked decidedly dodgy. I live in France and apart from Amazon or Ebay I have no idea where to buy these from. Do you know of a reputable supplier in the UK? I can still...

Thanks, guys! R14 & R15 both show 9k4 on my meter. The three yellow tants left to right measure 5.2, 5.3 and 4.8 meg. I can't see any identity on the board to know which they are on the list though, so I don't know whether they're good or bad. No doubt someone will enlighten me. :) The crappy...
