Linn Kinos – The Heart Of Your System

Posted by rococosystems in Linn DS

Google Derived from Linn’s flagship Kisto System Controller, the Linn Kinos gives outstanding audio performance from stereo or surround-sound music, making the most of your CD collection and bringing you the benefit of improved sound quality from high-resolution formats such as Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio. With the Linn Kinos System Controller at the heart of your home entertainment system, controlling your system is simple. Partner Kinos with Linn’s latest Kinik control interface and you can operate your system wirelessly from your Pocket PC. The simplicity of this rich graphical touchscreen interface helps you to access and control your audio and video sources from the comfort of your armchair. Supporting stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 processing, Kinos is also the perfect solution for the finest home-theatre systems. It precisely decodes and processes a comprehensive range of surround-sound formats. Linn’s Kinos supports both PAL and NTSC and Composite, Component (YPbPr), RGB and S-Video. When the Linn Kinos is used with Linn’s Unidisk range of multi-format disc players, an RS232 link can be used to enable automatic pre-selection of the most appropriate decoding algorithm or analogue channels, determined by the disk type being played and the signal received. Linn’s Kinos can also be programmed to control other elements of your system for the complete home-theatre experience. Your projector powers up, your cinema sized screen drops into place, the light dim for that theatre like experiance and even your popcorm maker can spring into action. Concealed sockets on the front panel of the Linn Kinos provide a user-friendly, quick access solution for less frequently used products increasing the range of uses of the Kinos. For example, a games console, video camera or headphones can easily be connected. The Kinos from Linn also benefits from ‘silent power’ delivered by a Linn Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS). Where conventional power supplies operate through the standard audio bandwidth, Linn high-frequency Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) instead convert power at frequencies well outside the audio bandwidth ensuring the audio signal is unaffected by this conversion and all you hear is the music. Like all Linn pre-amplifiers, Kinos incorporates Knekt technology which means you can also enjoy music throughout your home as part of a Linn Knekt multi-room system. The Kinos system controller is designed and precision-engineered to complement other Linn components and makes a perfect partner for Linn’s Unidisk multi-format disc players, Akurate power-amplifier range and the Akurate loudspeaker system. Add more power amplifiers with internal Aktiv cards to enjoy the improved performance of an Aktiv system.

The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour Comes to Blu-Ray

Posted by rococosystems in Guest Posts

Ask the opinion of a handful of music aficionados and the majority of them will say that The Beatles are, and will always be, the greatest band to ever live. To say they are legendary doesn’t even come close to their influence on the world that still reverberates through society today. And now they’ve made a comeback with their experimental film, “Magical Mystery Tour,” which will be available for purchase and watched on blu ray players by their biggest admirers. Of course, this wasn’t the first movie that the Fab Four has done. Before this film, there was “Help!” and “A Hard Day’s Night.” Where this movie differed, of course, was in its tone. Their first two films were comedic, while “Magical Mystery Tour” experimented with the psychedelic overtones that had become popularized during the era. Introducing six new songs throughout the film, this 1967 musical introduced us to an eccentric band of characters who populate a trip to the English countryside. Of course, this is a simplistic run-down of what occurs in the film, as the narrative doesn’t follow any hard and fast rules. Instead, it is all over the place, boiling down to an odd collection of clips focusing on songs such “The Fool on the Hill” and “I am the Walrus.” The digital restoration of picture and sound will make your Blu Ray player shine. The picture quality of “Magical Mystery Tour” really brings to life every character and sequence like never before. Add to that the 5.1 surround sound that makes the songs sound better than ever, and you have the best presentation of this film that you would have probably never seen otherwise. For all you huge Beatles fan out there (and there are A LOT of you), the release of “Magical Mystery Tour” includes a deluxe edition that will look great alongside any Blu Ray or Beatles collection. This 10″ by 10″ set includes two discs; one that is accessible for Blu Ray players and a standard DVD version of the film, plus commentary by none other than Paul McCartney, who was the real driving force behind the experimental film. You’ll also get to enjoy brand new interviews with McCartney and Ringo Starr. Plus, an added bonus: a special LP that includes the original mono EP released in the United Kingdom and half a dozen additional songs. And if all that wasn’t enticing enough to make this deluxe edition a part of your collection, you also get a 60-page book filled with production notes, background info, and photographs from the original film and its production. With this film and the recent release of the animated movie “Yellow Submarine,” we are now only one movie away from the entire Beatles film collection. Once “Let It Be” is released, The Beatles life on Blu Ray will be complete. Citations: Photo credit Mercedes Potter is a huge fan of The Beatles and looks forward to taking a psychadelic trip watching the Magical Mystery Tour.

Q Acoustics 2010i Hi-Fi Choice magazine (March 2012) gives the Q Acoustics 2010i an absolutely brilliant ‘5 STAR’ review. They describe the speaker as: ‘Tiny Dynamite’ and go on to say the 2010i delivers “Stunning musicality, alongside remarkable power handling.” Jason Kennedy, their very experienced reviewer states: “I was blown away by the musical integrity and sheer entertainment they deliver.” “it is far better than it has any right to be.” “it’s superb.” The truly amazing Q Acoustics 2010i is in stock right now Q Acoustics 7000 The March 2012 edition of Home Cinema Choice magazine bestows a fantastic 5 STAR review, together with their coveted ‘Best Buy’ accolade, on the elegant Q Acoustics 7000 5.1 Loudspeaker Package. This time it’s Adrian Justins who gives the speakers an extensive evaluation. Describing them he says they are: “Sumptuous” “The aluminium cabinets really are exquisite, beautifully finished in piano black.” As to the sound quality; Adrian says: “Straight away, I was impressed by the power and depth” he adds “Close your eyes and you might think these are coffin-sized floorstanders.” Being an ‘old school’ reviewer, Adrian knows that the real test of any good speakers is to find out how they perform with music. The answer: “I closed my eyes and listened to Hilary Hahn’s superb SACD recording of ‘The Lark Ascending’. I was transported to the orchestra pit of the Royal Albert hall, every instrument distinct and precise, even the sound of Hahn’s bow drawing down the violin strings.” Q Acoustics 7000 The hugely influential ‘AV Forums’ website has written a comprehensive 2,300 word review of the 7000 home cinema speaker package. Their reviewer concludes the product is: “frankly stunning for the price” “superb build, finish and thoughtful design touches abound … a product of seriously high value.” “We’re not talking perfection here, but it’s a damn site closer to it than it has any right to be for the price. The very definition of a ‘Best Buy’ award.” “For a budget sub/sat package, it’s damn near epic.” ‘From Russia With Love’ Q Acoustics 7000 It’s not just the UK market that loves Q Acoustics. Below is a brilliant review which has appeared in the latest issue of the Russian ‘Salon’ magazine. It declares the Q Acoustics 7000 is an ‘Editor’s Choice’, the magazine’s highest accolade.

If you own a Kaleidescape System, you now have Kaleidescape Scenes. This fantastic new feature puts the most memorable moments of your movie collection at your fingertips. In other words, it’s like your very own highlights reel. “I rediscovered Indiana Jones running from the boulder in Raiders of the Lost Ark, and then jumped immediately to Casablanca‘s ‘Here’s Looking at You Kid’,” said Greg Young, a Kaleidescape owner from Clovis, Calif. “My Kaleidescape System reconnected me with these movies and many more.” If your favorite Raiders moment just happens to be when the monkey bites it, you can actually mark your own scenes as well. If you want to leave the clips up to fate (or Kaleidescape), the company does have a crew of “experts” that have handpicked more than 4,000 different scenes from over 700 different titles. Kaleidescape says they plan to add new options every day. I want that job! Kaleidescape Scenes are now available to every Kaleidescape System, in KEAOS 4.2. The scenes database is also part of the exclusive Kaleidescape Movie Guide. KEAOS and Movie Guide updates are distributed automatically, without dealer or customer intervention.
