Thanks. The same thought had struck me but I was prepared to be surprised. (I have a Eupen and a Supra under test but I will not comment yet.) The same argument should then apply to all the Linn components with their in-house SMPS then, which is most of their products now.Originally posted by Lawrie
Hey Michael,
It is safe to assume that the Linn Ikemi, being a digital component, would be responsive to power cord changes but surprisingly, that is not the case. The Ikemi's power supply (which I think is custom made by Linn) ensures that after market power cords have no effect...

You're just trying to wind Tony up aren't you?Originally posted by Lawrie
It's a shame many other manufacturers don't design their components this way as after-market power cords, IMO, should have no effect on a well designed component.![]()
I bet you they'd make a difference on a Bryston processor or CD player (do they make CD players even)?Originally posted by lowrider
Bryston does design their kit so that PCs don't make a difference, and I confirmed that with VDH, Eupen, Siltech, etc...
But TAG says the same, and PCs make a big difference, at least on the processors and DVD player...![]()
Well some time back in a review of the Ikemi they found no clear difference using a Wireworld Sratus. I'm not familiar with this particular cord.Originally posted by Lawrie
Hey Steve,
You can try the power cords on your Linn amps but I'm not sure if you will get much joy...
So, the Eupens work superbly on the CDP, very well on the L100 and P100 and totally screw the 1.2 - Tony, you seem to be right!
