Congrats! I'm always a bit surprised at how much these upgrades change things. This time, for me, it's completely opened out the bottom end of things (ooer missus). I wonder if the Radikal 2 has also radically (sic) changed the power supply to the Urika. Comparing the two circuit boards, there's a completely different smatter of components, and a much bigger FPGA.
I haven't listened to my digital source for a couple of weeks now!
Hi Nero. I can't comment on the Urika as I don't use it. I think I read somewhere the supply rails are different, though I may be wrong. For me this is massive, it's changed everything, the best upgrade I have made in a long time if not ever. All my records sound different, for the better I must add. I have been glued to it all day, it being heavy rain has kept me in and off the bike, but great to get to know the improvements on many records. I am seriously wondering if the 11 year old motor was wearing out it certainly seems/sounds that way or is it just so much better? One example I Played Rage Against The Machine earlier, I was shocked at the difference, all the extra that came through it just wasn't like that before, and the aggression was palpable, just amazing.
Another thing, Linn have often been accused of neglecting their customers, but sound per pound this is tops, and is supporting existing customers, yes expensive but I wouldn't have bought another full radikal so a win win.
I thought I wouldn't go on but as an aside I have noticed surface noise, meaning clicks and pops, are much reduced, some of my records are in a sh1t state through being old and neglected, I can't be messed with cleaning life is to short, besides the ones I have had professionally cleaned never seemed much better, a very strange thing to happen from a power supply change though?
So
