I just want to celebrate (a gloat a little), with people who can appreciate the deal I got today on a popular auction site!
- defect Karik II - 100-€
- Superb Numerik II - 170-€!!
- Two beloved LK systems - priceless
As I already have another defect Karik in the cupboard, and know my way around a Karik, I am confident I can fix it between the two.
Plus the Numerik for that price is a steal! I have been watching for a Numerik for the bedroom for a couple of years now. But, as it was not the primary system, I did not want to spend a lot.
In addition to the Karik, I also feed a wireless digital signal from a Sonos Connect into the Numerik. This has really surprisingly good sound quality and resulting in using the Karik's less and less as DS is so convenient. If someone wants to avoid the hassle of running CAT5 cable everywhere as necessary for a Linn DS, I can highly recommend this Sonos/Numerik solution as an alternative. Don't just use the Sonos alone as the D/A converter inside is not very good. Numerik D/A conversion is legendary.
Anyway, just excited to plug in the Numerik in the second system tonight!
