Correct, I love my Linn Klimax DS. I use Mac Mini with USB disc. Its very nice to also stream radio, Spotify, Wimp etc… Also have a Rega RP40, but I use the Linn 95 % of the time. Its very nice to controll everything with just an iPad :-)

The Linn Klimax is a very enjoyable source that is for sure. The ease of control with iPad makes life as a music lover very convenient. About 5 years ago I had the Akurate ds, which I enjoyed.

I owned the stereo version for about 9 years. Had it reconditioned completely once. I loved the amp. Congrats!

Hi Guys,

I have the chance to purchase the audio research ref 3 at a good price here and I think this is the route I wish to follow. My system could just do with that little injection of some tube magic - soundstage air and presence and a bit of warmth in the mids.

Do you think this is a good move or should I save for a used ref 5 instead? Or look at a different pre entirely! I have heard some nice ss pres in my system and they do some things superbly but that tube magic is missing to my ears.

Well I have managed to line up auditions with Allnic L1500&3000, Krell evo 202, arc ref 3&5 so will see how I go...

If you have the possibility to try out CAST I would recommend it. It sound clearly more neutral here. But, I have not testet with high end ICs like S.R. Galileo LE, Odin etc. CAST is also a much cheaper alternativ.

Well the L1500 arrived today and I have spent most of the day listening and I can say without reservation that it is fantastic and gels with the Krell beautifully.

This combo generates are lovely deep and wide soundstage with a very liquid feel. Dynamics are very impressive in part due to the incredibly low noise floor - you would honestly think it is ss as there is scarcely anything even an obscene volumes! The Allnic does a clever trick of revealing hitherto unheard details but never in a way that does not fully engage you in the whole. Looking forward to hearing the L3000.
