Just heard about this sad news. Guillaume was a wonderful soul to deal with and always willing to answer my emails with a detailed essay of advice. The local audio community will miss the large presence he filled. Go well big fella. May your family find solace in the many souls you touched in a...

Hi everyone. Christiaan did contact me and we did discuss the issues at hand this morning. Maybe I was a bit hasty to post here before I phoned him this morning. For that I apologise to Christiaan. Clearly they have major challenges currently with shipments, which is not of their doing and out...

Good sound and studio engineers are worth their weight in gold. Absolutely true.

Morning Who around here has dealt with them before? I have ordered some upgrades 2 months ago that was promised to be delivered a month ago and I am still waiting. Every time I enquire via e-mail where my stuff is I get a new set of excuses.

Unfortunately TLHP do not do ScanSpeak. Or Audio Technology, some of the brands I like to use.Which is a damnn pity.

I see the ScanSpeak webshop has been closed to support local dealers. The problem being that poor old Africa got overlooked. Which of the European shops would be the best bet to get these drivers from? Yes. Still doing research for a build project to tackle next year.

That Acoustic Reference X-Act Turntable is above my paygrade by far. The Linn will have to do.

http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/CNO-GRANDE.htm Thanks for that info Kolakidd. Only 59 Euros for shipping from TLHP. That is damn cheap. Drivers come to about 1600 Euros. Not cheap those Seas stuff, but I heard it is good quality stuff. Saves me over 400 Euros compared to getting everything from...

Anybody in SA that sells Seas Drivers?

Talk to Christiaan at Linn. He seems to be quite helpful when I dealt with him. He might have to get stock from Scotland.

My NAD 3020e and Boston A60 was probably the best R1500 I ever spend on hi-fi when I was a youngster. I also remember Eugene trying his best to sell a B&W DM604 to me and I said to him it is the DM802 or bust. I could not afford the 802 obviously. That was a looong time ago.

Thanks Have sent him a PM. I have sent Front Panel Express an e-mail to ask about local suppliers that does the same service here. Still waiting for the reply after 3 weeks.

Thank you. Can always trust you for good advice. Might stick with the old Linn. But looking at the least path of upgrade resistance. Mostly want to get rid of the midband sludge, most probably caused by that terrible pressed steel subchassis. So I wondered if just starting with the Kore would be...

Overpriced junk. Like most high end audiophile turntables and other equipment. The manufacturers are just milking the less than 1% of the market that are still willing to pay these prices. Ever noticed how high end audio equipment companies come and go like the yearly seasons?

Looking for panel customisation service, much like Front Panel Express in the US. Have tried Toker Bros, but they can't help me.

Yes, I can see old Ivor's masterplan. You have to get the Radikal also. Looks like the Lingo has the same space issue. That hole in the PCB looks to be the same size as the Valhalla and Hercules. O, I see you will need a new outer platter also. Well, in my case, I will. Add another 10K. I hope...

Yes, old Ivor must have been drunk to high heaven on the single malt when he thought that idea up. I looked at it and just the Kore + Karousel will set me back 37K. Then I still am stuck with that crappy AC motor and pully that can't quite seem to hold 33.3 and 45 RPM consistently. Add the new...

Don't you need a Cirkus level bearing for the Majik sun-chassis upgrade? My attraction to the 1200G is more to do with it's top class speed regulation from the new direct drive motor system. With the Linn it feels as if you are fixing engineering problems with the upgrades that should never...

Have you seem what a Cirkus bearing upgrade cost these days? Linn has complete gone off their rocker. Actually, their pricing left sanity quite a while ago.

Am I mad? Or is this a worthwhile move? My LP-12 is lovingly restored with an updated PSU and with the Linn Ittok arm.
