What's Wrong with the Classik Then?

Posted by: Andy Kirby on 06 July 2001

There seems to be rather a lot of Linn Classiks for sale on EBay, also Audio T seem to be discounting them rather heavily in their Red Letter Sale.

Any Forum members have experience of this offering and if so with which speakers?

Many thanks

Andrew:

Is the new Classik "k" the one that has the tuner or is there yet another newer version?

I don't think there's anything wrong with the Classik. Esp if the punter was thinking of a Bose system.

I once visited a bloke to buy an Arcam CD - his classic was awesome.... running the sounds from his PC!

What is the Classik-K, somebody, please.

The original Classik had no suffiks yet the Classik-T was logikally the TUNER version.

So is the K some "with Kans" dealer botch with go faster stripes, or what?

Considering a Classik for another room to allow CD selection in a multiroom sense.

The other of many options was to run a 14m phono from my Alpha 9 CD to another integrated in the bedroom, or from the Bi-amp (pre-amp) output of the Myryad Mi120 integrated in the living room to a power amp. But how the hell do people control the volume in this way??? confused

Lindsay,

Maybe it's like Kelloggs Special K?

I sort of did this - I ran cables from the 2nd tape output of my 82 in the lounge to the tuner input of a nait in the bedroom, the output level of the 82 is fixed and the volume in the bedroom can be controlled by the nait. At the time I went and got the fatest and most expensive cable I could find from Maplin, in retrospect I probably should have gone with Naim's own interconnect which I understand can be bought from better dealers. Anyway it was just a means for me to listen to good qualityh R4 in bed, and I could tell the difference in the bedroom when I got a 2nd HiCap on the 82 in the lounge so it must be doing something right!

There's a new Classik round the corner. It's meant to be an uprated version of the current model. Better power delivery, better preamp section. That's it as far as I know.

It's a cute little machine. Good value for money. After all, you get a relatively decent CD, tuner and amp (and timer:) for a 'measly' £1000. It's conveniently compact and quite fun. It comes with 4m a side of speaker cable, but it benefits from either NACA5 or Chord Odyssey and speakers that go well would be Dynaudio Audience 42 or 62, Linn Katans and Naim Intros.
