Urika-navnet stammer fra “Eureka”-øjeblikket, da udviklerne hos Linn opdagede, at RIAA’en kunne placeres internt i pladespilleren og samtidig opnå den forbedrede lydkvalitet.

Håber ikke at det tæller som et af de skarpeste øjeblikke - forhåbentligt skal der mere til at begejstre dem!

Men ellers respekt til LP-12 som er en særdeles fin pladespiller......

Sad lige og tænkte det samme

Enyway   faldt lige over noget intressant på naim forumet som normalt er det mest linn fjendelige forum der ude.

29 April 2009 19:37 Its no surprise when I say I am not linns best fan but I had a sneak preview to Peters set up for tomorrows open night. For those going the set up is a linn LP12 with the new phono and power supply the Linn climax pre-power and a pair of Linn 242. Bearing in mind I haven't heard a full Linn system for over 20 years now, it was a bit of a shock. Very musical and very enjoyable. Not going to go into hi-fi terms as thats not the point. The point is I could quite happily spend many hours just sitting there playing vinyl and thats what its all about. For a point of reference peter played a system inclusing the old phono and power supply and it was a step back to the dark ages. So its nice to see real noticable improvements, not tiny ones that you struggle to hear but major improvemnts. Now don't panic, the Naims and Roksan are not for sale, its just nice to hear other systems especially ones that you really enjoy, so thanks peter, I hope I didn't get in the way of setting up but now I can realte to what others are talking about. Regards PB   ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------   After struggling through the evening traffic from Slough to Hampton Wick for 2 1/2 hours I finally made it to hear the Radikal today at Infidelity. I had raised some concerns previously about the pricing of the Radikal. I must admit that that was based on seeing a price of £4500 on Peter's website and not reading it properly to see that a cheaper version was available! After hearing the Radikal and finding out it costs £2500 in Akurate casing I can declare that it is worth it. I still can't afford it - yet! - but at £2.5k less trade in it is feasible, just! But I want one! Even with the few tracks I heard it is clear that this is the biggest improvement in the LP12 that I have heard. The Keel was all about detail, instrumental texture and increased dynamics. The Radikal does something more fundamental to the music. Notes stop and start much more quickly. The time smear and blurring that was now evident with the old deck was gone and instruments were crisply defined and, well, much more like real instruments. Notes had a much more clearly audible leading edge and, if they can have a shape, it was smaller yet more clearly defined. There was a lot more space in the music which was momentarily disconcerting but when I adjusted to it was more like music than hifi. It was like looking at a finely etched painting after viewing an impressionist piece. There is a much more solid and grounded feel about the sound. Drums and bass just snap the rhythms along with breathtaking alacrity. This is a different Sondek altogether. Some traditionalists may not like it. I love it. And did I say I want one?!!! It was good to see Derek again, albeit briefly, and he always has great taste in music!

Linn's salgsafdeling har markuleret tonsvis af pund pengesedler til pulver og sniffer det hver dag!

Derfor!
