Linn vs Lumin

Yes Paul - still going (for now). You can upgrade to black for $500 and there is a much longer lead time on Black (2-3 weeks min). But yes, it's an option.

It's dangerously close.

I want to give the Lumin another week to break in before any true opinion but after 3 days the Lumin had all of the promise to pass the Klimax DS in SQ.

I have another week on it now but haven't listened to it yet. Ill report later once I wake up my ears to listen. :)

Thanks Jock, I'll be very interested in your opinion.

Jock:

Interesting.

Your Linn was run through your Naim correct? Have you tried the digital output from the Lumin (if it has one)? I'm curious if what makes the Lumin "work" is its internal DAC or just the way the music (data) is handled via Ethernet.

After listening yesterday and again tonight.

Anybody want to buy a 6 month old Linn Klimax DS?

Not really anything else to say. The Raidho D3s have never sounded so good.

Wow Jock!

I spoke with Mark yesterday. He is really excited about his coming in tomorrow. It must be one heck of a streamer! :exciting:
 
Linn is run directly into the Dag preamp.

And no I haven't tried the digital output. I guess I could bypass the steamer portion of the Naim NDS and try that. The Linn can't do that.

Hmmmm. Interesting question.

Jock:

That's right why would you run an analog signal anywhere but into your pre. That was a dumb Q :blush:. I've been drinking.

Anyways, if you're inclined to try the digital out I'm very interested in your observations.

Congrats Jock. I sure do love mine. I've only played two records since December. Gasp!

Allen, no BS, you know I never buy anything new. I wasn't planning to buy anything except maybe an amp or new speakers. I was sure I had the sources that I wanted, This was a shock to me !!

But, I still reserve judgement until I have the Lumin in my system for a week or so.
 
Van, Paul, and Mike. Thanks a lot !! I'll let you know how it measures up to the Linn. But if first impressions are right, I think I'll be happy :woot:
 
dibs on the kronos

If the kronos needs a home where it will be loved, let me know ;)
 
Hi Jon,
Thanks for posting the link. That table's been up on the gon for many months. Not sure why, other than even at 50% of list, these things are still a lot of coin so as to not fly off the shelves :)
Mike's is likely in mint condition ;)
