The upgrade to my Linn Klimax DSM is complete. The new Katalyst DAC architecture sounds wonderful: improved imaging, more air around instruments, a more natural, “analog” sound.
Also complete are the addition of the Shunyata Denali 6000 tower, 3m Alpha NR power cable, Rega RP10 table, and Rega Aphelion cartridge. It’s a lot of changes at once, but I was able to stage them a few days apart to get some listening with each change. The table and cartridge have added a new level of detail, and although it sounds contradictory, smoothness to the upper midrange. It’s a hackneyed expression, but I’m hearing things I never heard before.
Next up: D’Agostino Momentum S250 stereo amp is on its way for home audition and should be here in a couple of weeks.
