System Pics 2023




Few pictures showing my new Radikal PS installed yesterday.
My streaming kit- Bluesound and Chord Qutest is hidden away.
Very pleased with both the look and the sound.
Considering putting a sticker over the blue light on the Radikal tho…:roll_eyes:

If you get the RAD 2 upgrade kit you can choose a different setting for the blue light. :+1:t2:

So I gather! I’ll have to save up for that. I am told that it is a “forever offer” from Linn rather than time limited for radikal 1 owners. Is that what you did?

I originally had an Akurate one then upgraded to a Klimax then got the RAD2 upgrade kit after that.
I could have had the dimmer setting but the Klimax light is a bit different and not like the Akurate Laser. :face_with_peeking_eye:
The kit is a major upgrade. :+1:t2:

New speakers arrived. I loved my 505s but these Z2 Cryos are a whole other world. I am amazed so far.

Thanks!
It’s my Cabinet Makers thesis work from times of yore. Not Oak, but stacked Birch Plywood with bookmatched walnut veneer on top, back and bottom.

Is there a reason why you haven’t got the record circuit muted?

I tested quite extensively with my 82 and I found that muting the circuit made a noticeable improvement.
I also tested my 52 and again found that the muting of the record circuit made a worthwhile difference. More refined.

For the record input I do as you show in your pics.

Because it isn’t. Nothing sinister. I have tried it and - to me - it made little obvious difference.

But… YMMV… Cloth Ears here… :crazy_face:

lovely looking speakers. You should consider putting them on Darkz as well. Worked wonders on my Børresen O2. Nice system, stellar performance.

thanks sailorck. C2t darkzs already in discussion. just wanted to listen for a while to be certain i really like them. no questions about that now.

sailorck,
what exactly did the darkz do for your o2 cryos? just ordered some but your input would be great.

Greater soundstage and more natural instruments, e.g. piano or guitar (Darkz T2 with tungsten balls on top)

thanks for your input

I’ve been on a psychedelia trip lately (pun intended), so decided to redecorate my listening room.

Very similar to my setup as it will be when my 222 arrives. I am thinking your system will be sounding fabulous.
