For me, I never made friendship with Linn speakers.
Here: DS --> Audionet --> Sonus Faber
3 Manufacturere, 3 countries :-)

I would say, it's no coincindence. Those who read, and especially are active on the Linn forum are those who have a closer relationship to Linn than the average Linn user. Such a poll is not representative for Linn users, rather for those active on the Linn forum.

As can be seen on my signature, I am one of those "unfaithful" Linn users. I also think that the DS' series is superiour (just upgraded from Majik to Klimax), while I use other equipment for the rest.

Klimax DS/1, Krell KRC-HR, Halcro DM68, Martin Logan Summit X, PS Audio PPP, Nordost Valhalla IC and speaker cables

Since my pre-amplifier is the Lejonklou Kikkin 2 I answered "mixed". Except for this exceptional product everything is Linn.

Akurate DS/1 -> Silver IC -> Lejonklou Kikkin 2.2 -> Silver IC -> Lejonklou Tundra -> K200 -> M140.

Very heavy silver stuff playing through very heavy shiny black stuff.

Tone, the latest Amstrad boxes are supposed to be have a much more responsive EPG (mine's dawdled ever since it eventually upgraded to the HD EPG). I'm hoping mine will be replaced with the new one next week - had some stuttering issues on playback which I've suddenly decided to care about Wink. Some people do have gripes with them though, so maybe worth a check on avforums first, if you're interested.

Linn DS only for me, though if things work out over summer, hoping for a MDS/M6100/M109s for a ridiculous bedroom kit-out. I'm a DS-only pretender at the mo.

Living Room: KDS/1, Linn Silver Balanced, 2 * Bel Canto REF500M, Chord Odyssey 2, Gallo Ref 3.1s
Bedroom: RDS, Silvers, M6100/D, QED Silver XT, Aktiv M109s

RE: What sort of system do you use your DS in?
Hello,

Actually I use Majik DS as a source, connected to
a) Krell S-300i speaker amplifier -> oldies, but goldies Castle Harlech S1 (plan to change them to PMC)
b) Lehmann Black Cube headphone amplifier -> Sennheiser HD800
Additionally - in the future I plan to buy an used LP12 as a analogue source (love this TT)
regards
freshman

regards,
freshman
----------
Speaker system : Majik DS(D)/LP12 - Krell S-300i - PMC OB1i
Headphone system : Sneaky MDS - Lehmann Linear Black Cube - Sennheiser HD800

See my sig. Been with Linn since I ditched my Technics/Sony mid-fi system just before the turn of the milennium. Use an Audyssey Multi-EQ Pro for room correction, otherwise all Linn apart from some cables and a Sky HD box.

Quote:Then came the Sneaky and the TDAI-2200 with room correction. I had a listening session in a local shop here, and was "sold" during the first session, and purchased their demo amplifier.

BTW: The TDAI and the 804's are a perfect match regarding sound and impedance.


Hi Loke, Your experience is very valuable to me.

Just one question: I guess you use the Lyngdorf digital input from the Sneaky.
Is this is true?
Then you are not using Sneaky's DAC but Lyngdorf's DAC instead.

I wonder if it is still justified to use the Sneaky purely as a digital transport...Maybe there are other more cost effective solutions...
What is your take on this?
