This is version 1.1 of the system. Originally, it was the Majik with a Rega Planet, and DCM TimeFrames. This was good. the TimeFrames are a neat speaker with great imaging and the bass was cool since it was transmission line. The system evolved from there. First I came across a set of Katans with active cards and stands. What a welcome addition because of the clarity and imaging. excellent voices on the Katan. Next was the upgrade of an LK85 and adding the activ cards to it and the Majik (mono cards), and I didn't spend too much time ABing, but just set it up. There is a different, things tighten up. I added the power cables and teh Harmonic Tech, and then the REL sub. At first I didn't like the sub, it dissapointed me because I couldn't get it tight. Even using an SPL meter and moving it around it wasn't tight. The manual recommends not using the spikes, but after exhausting all other options, I tried them and it was perfect! I'm sure it had to do with my room. The sub does double duty with my AV system.

Now I replaced the Planet with the Jolida, and yes tubes are great, so much more warmth in vocals. I was thinking of doing some tube rolling, but haven't tried it yet.

Within the next 2 weeks, I'm doing some major changes! Another LK85 is coming in to run the bass, so it should be more accurate and tight. Then out goes the Majik completely! In its place will be a Audible Illusions L1, so even more tube will be added to this system, which I'm hoping will add more life and heart to the power of the Linns. I've also contemplated switching out the Katans for some Thiels and maybe even some Sonus Faber Concertinos that my friend has! Comments are welcome!
