GENERAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION
TURNTABLES For best results the turntable should be placed on a
small, light, rigid table, or alternatively wall mounted on a light, rigid
shelf.
CD PLAYER The KARIK and MIMIK should be positioned on a level
surface. Extensive internal screening in the KAIRN pre-amplifier,
KREMLIN tuner, KARIK and NUMERIK facilitates stacking these
products one on top of the other without interference, if desired.
POWER SUPPLIES Take care not to position too close to signal leads,
turntables or pre-amplifier.
AMPLIFIERS Pre and power amplifiers may hum if positioned too
close together. For minimum hum, experiment by moving the
components with the system at full volume but not playing music
(although it is best to turn the volume down whilst actually moving
the components).
LOUDSPEAKERS Loudspeakers should be positioned correctly. They
should be mounted such that they are not subject to any rocking
movement.
CLEAN CONTACTS It is important that the electrical contacts in a
hi-fi system are kept mechanically sound and clean. Occasionally
unplugging and replugging all the connectors will effectively clean
the contacts.
WARNING This should be carried out after the mains supply has
been switched off.
INTERCONNECT LEADS Correct cables should be used. We
recommend good quality copper cable for interconnect leads and
advise 4 mm
2 multicore copper cable, such as Linn K20, K400 or K600
for speaker leads. Your Linn dealer can supply high quality
interconnects for linking all your hi-fi components.
