Linn Exakt Systems

At Rococo Systems we have  Linn Klimax Exakt,  Linn Akurate Akubarik Exakt and Linn Akurate Aukdorik Exakt Systems all on demonstration.  At your personal demonstration you  will be able to hear the different sound performance of all  three Linn Exakt  systems. What is Linn Exakt? Linn Exakt technology delivers a breakthrough in audio performance; the most direct connection ever made between you and the artist. It pushes the lossless digital signal path all the way to the speaker — eliminating noise and distortion. What’s wrong with the traditional analogue signal path? Even the best analogue hi-fi systems suffer from loss at each stage of the signal’s journey. Analogue components introduce loss in two forms: noise and distortion. The Linn Exakt signal path Linn Exakt keeps the signal digital for longer and removes several lossy analogue stages. The sources of distortion and noise that were previously present in the player, pre-amp, crossover and analogue cables have now all been eliminated. Linn Exakt preserves the lossless digital signal perfectly all the way to the speakers, where the crossover and volume controls are now implemented in the digital domain. The signal is only converted to analogue at the final amplification stage — delivering the maximum amount of musical information to each drive unit. Linn Exakt Link In order to deliver the digital signal losslessly to the speaker, Linn developed a new protocol — Linn Exakt Link — achieving what no existing standard could: Accuracy of data Accuracy of data transmission is fundamental to any data link as errors lead to inaccuracies in playback. Linn Exakt Link has the ability to losslessly transmit 8 channels of 24-bit 192 kHz Studio Master. Exceptionally low jitter Jitter has long been the enemy of pitch-accurate digital music reproduction because it impacts on musical timing.Linn  Exakt eclipses even our own market-leading DS performance by delivering a level of jitter almost half that of the Linn  Klimax DS. This ensures the timing of the music as it reaches your ears is better than ever. Extreme precision synchronisation between speakers Linn has led the field in high precision multi-room synchronisation through the development of our Songcast protocol. Synchronising speakers in the same room requires even greater precision. Linn Exakt Link delivers digital synchronisation so precise that the variation in timing between speakers has been measured at just 25.4 pico-seconds, the time it takes for sound to travel less than 9 millionths of a millimeter. This extreme precision ensures you hear perfect timing from your speakers.  If you would like to book an audition or discuss Linn Exakt in more details please contact us on 0127789088 or 0207 4541234 email:  [email protected] www.rococosystems.com

Vinyl Resurgence

It is already well known amongst many music aficionados that vinyl records have been enjoying a resurgence in recent years with huge store-chains like HMV selling them in high street stores. Which is certainly the case in my nearest branch. This chart shows how in the world of declining internet sales because of piracy, other formats have been enjoying significant sales surpluses. (chart via Digital Music News) The origins of this resurgence lie in the increasing number of contemporary artists who are choosing to release on vinyl along with the mainstream digital formats as well. Their prevalence is being felt in independent record stores with a recent statisitc showing that the majority of vinyl sales are done in independent record shops. As this statisitc shows: The newly pressed vinyl that is being sold in these stores mainly consits of re-releases of classic albums, such as The Beatles’ Abbey Road as well as many contemporary artists choosing to release on Vinyl. With world-class bands like Coldplay releasing their album, Mylo Xyloto, in vinyl. The most commercially successful album of 2011, Adele’s 21, was also released in vinyl and it is evidence of vinyl moving from being the domain of nostalgic hipsters to a widely accepted mainstream format. Other artists that still release on vinyl include the long established groups like U2 and Status Quo who both have released their latest material on vinyl. Most recently Bruce Springsteen’s Wrecking Ball was also released on vinyl and is a good example of well established artists still using vinyl as a format for their new material.
