Would a linnformaniac be able to tell me whether Linn do any integrated's with reach?

Thanks for thoughts so far There's a guy selling a meridian 551 for £250 on gumtree, anyone know if that'll work. It appears to have a gain function on the inputs.

Some advice needed please on 2 channel amp choice at about £450. I'm getting ready to buy an integrated 2 channel amp as my sub + sat system is dying and I want to go back to HiFi. It has to have HT bypass or unity gain and wondered if anyone had any tips on which one? I know the...

Hi all, Having just bought a pair of Sennheiser momentum's I'm looking into buying a decent portable player. Anyone know of any shops near Wiltshire (or the south) where I could demo flac players like Fiio, Ibasso and Astell & Kerne? Thanks in advance

Bought one silver plated mk toughplug (655) for the cdp. It's added detail to top and middle, most noticeable in echo and reverb that's panned around. I wasn't picking this up as strongly as all. Adds real depth, there seems to be more information now. Having made the changes to the power I...

Now that's an idea! You've just saved me the cost of one iec as I've just soldered the power cord into the cdp. Just gained mid range detail and lost some extreme sharpness that the Yello gave me. That must have been the stock iec that I've removed from the chain. I'm gonna attempt same on the...

I wasn't upset, just surprised. But hey, point taken. Didn't understand "query what was the reason for what you guys ascribe to a cable?"

I agree with a separate forum, I really did look and I thought this would get some negative replies when I was typing the first post. BTW: Why wouldn't you believe someone (me) when I say I've listened for 7 years unchanged then heard a difference?

Yeah, that's the sort of price/change I'm interested in. Just tinkering around really. Funny you mentioned multiple wire, I noticed the Yello cable uses 4 twisted pairs (brown/blue) to great effect. There must be something in it.

Out of interest what were you using before you switched to cardas? (just had a look at the price of cardas on ebay...proper money!)

thanks mate, enjoyment is what it's all about.

Forgot to say Colinb: When I Thanked Linnnaim for the cable he suggested unplugging/plugging the both ends of the power cords 25 times and cleaning the 3 pin uk mains. I've done this a couple of times as over the 7 years of ownership I've only plugged in once or twice. It did help. All...

JTC: I only asked this because I couldn't see another thread answering the question otherwise.... whatsnext: I've lived with my system for 7 years untouched. A friend of mine gave me a Russ Andrews Yello so I used it on the amp (Arcam AVR350) and I know you've all heard it before but it...

Hi all, I've just switched to Russ Andrews Kimber Yello power cords from Isotek Premium and can't believe the improvement. I split a 1.5m Yello to make two cables and noticed the IEC's on the Yello's seem to be fairly basic. This made me wonder if anyone has had any experience of...

Put single piece granite off cuts under Arcam AVR350 amp & Arcam DV137 cdp. Moved from Isotek premium power cords to Russ Andrews Yello. After 7 years I'm happy with my kit! (I posted my findings on AVForums/arcam hoping to help others. Got two replies and neither believed me!) Then I...
