Here's the setup:
The PC in my office-room is connected via WIRED LAN to a FritzBox WLAN-Router, my Laptop connects to this very router via WLAN. From this router, I do run an Ethernet-cable to my living-room, where a NetgearSwitch distributes to BluRay, HD-DVD, NAS and Sneaky. Router and Switch run in DHCP-mode.

Running LinnGUI and LinnConfig from the Laptop works without a problem, but running them from my PC (same uptodate versions like on Laptop), LinnGUI never discovers neither NAS (still can see it on my PC in Windows Explorer under NetworkPlaces!!!) nor Sneaky.
LinnConfig via PC does actually discover Sneaky, but is unable to read the configuration (it always says "revtrieving" with "room name" and "device name" and displays wrong settings in the other fields. Still it discovers both MacAddress and Family (Bute).

How comes, that using the very same route (via router and switch, the only difference being WLAN and LAN connection to the router), things work fine with my laptop and fail with my PC?

Thanks for helping!]]> I do have a really strange problem: I cannot access my Sneaky from one specific computer via LinnGUI, LinnConfig instead discovers it "halfways"...

I'm thinking of using my LK280 in my living room/AV system to power some good B&W outdoor speakers in the graden, and so I'll be looking to upgrade the LK280 in my main Linn audio set-up in my study with alternative Linn power amplification - which must be an improvement over the LK280. Ideally I'd like to bi-amp my audio system speakers, so any comments on bi-amping in a Linn hierarchy would be more than useful. Bi-wiring could do at a pinch, but I'm really keen to see how I can get the best bang for the buck on the pre-owned market.

I'm not into Aktiv. I'm driving a pair of B&W683s

Please could forum members say if there is an official Linn power amp hierarchy - including discontinued models, e.g. LK models & Klout - and if there's not an official Linn version, can someone have a go at constructing one, please?

If anyone has a suitable Linn power amp solution (< £1k) that they'd like to sell, then PM me!

I can't afford the full SE treatment, so I guess I will have to stick with my LVIII - will this fit on a Keel? Has anyone heard one in A Keel setup?

Or am I wasting my money and should I just mount an Ekos SE on my current armboard/subchassis arrangement?

Thanks in advance for any comments/pointers

I've got my 6100 amp close to my tv and when watching a film in the dark the light from the amp seems extremely bright and distracting.

Is there any way to dim the light at all? Placing a bit of cardboard in front of it doesn't seem the most elegant solution...

I have a sizeable number of Flac files ready on our laptop to be copied over to the NAS. Initially we managed a couple of transfers using the wireless connection between laptop and NAS. That went well.

Tonight while trying the same procedure the laptop tells me that there is a network error problem accessing C:\local audio...file name flac

While this situation persists - and there are constant rumours that Apple will open up device and software support for FLAC - i need to maintain the two formats....

Even if Apple DO have a change of policy, there are the storage concerns for the ipod, so i may wish to continue using a compressed format for non critical listening.

So a question:

Do any of the ripping tools discussed on this forum have functionality to allow simultanious ripping in TWO formats? ...i.e. Rip to FLAC and to MP3 in the same "session" ...i'd like to avoid having to double hand my ripping...

Alternatively - and this is less than ideal as it still requires additional effort - does anybody know of a quick way to convert FLAC to MP3? ...and is this configurable to a specific Bitrate (I use High Quality VBR for my MP3's)]]>

1 Akurate 4200 driving the basses
2 Akurate 3200 driving the arrays

or

B)
1 Akurate 2200 driving the super-tweaters
2 Akurate 4200 driving the rest of the drivers

What are people's thoughts on what is best?

Option A separates the bass from the mid-treble at the power supply level.
Option B gives a completely separate power supply to the super-tweaters as well as the amps possibly having a larger resell market due to all the even channel count.]]>

I have just bought a Majik DS and try to make it work with an iMac. I install the files mono and kinsky. The majik DS shows that it has an IP adress. Kinsky is running but it indicates no sources. I run twonkymedia first and made the settings.

How can i check that the iMac is seeing the Majik ?

I have check for the firewall ; but it seems correctly set (accept entrance prog).

Thanks, for your help.;)]]>

I'll kick off
Best - It's got to be the LP12, obvious really, a true classic and getting better as the years roll by

Worst - The Wakonda pre-amp, many many moons ago I replaced a pretek for a Wakonda, never in the field of music listening was anyone so disappointed, my head kept telling me that it was better but my ears wouldn't agree.

Could I use any other program without such requirement?.

By the way, I have read about Eye Connect in the Linn Support page. It seems that with EyeConnect it is possible to use iTunes to drive the DS trough a NAS with Twonky. Is that correct?. Any experience with it?.

I've just purchased a Linn Classik Movie second-hand.

I've come across two things. Firstly, when I tried to play a couple home-made dual layer DVD discs and it didn't play although they do on another player I have. Secondly, pre-recorded DVDs seem to 'jump' every so often which they don't when played on other players.

So, can my Linn play dual layer DVDs or only single layer and is it a fault with the player that causes the jumps or is it inherent it the Classik Movie?
