This is my vinyl ripping studio. The speakers are in an "aktiv" configuration. There are crossover cards in the amps and the internal crossovers in the speakers have been bypassed. The sound is lush, clear and open. The preamp even sounds better after the change.
I use this as my digital transport and I stream to an apple TV for my other system
Apogee Duet
I use it to rip vinyl with Logic and for playback.

This is a nice remote controlled preamp. It does not sound as good as my threshold though

I am not in love with this cable, but it works for now. Speakers are biamped, so I have 2 sets

OMG, these speakers are amazing. such delicate highs and deep bass from such little monitors. I bought an aktiv treble car and I am desperately trying to find a bass card.
I found that the LK 140 has a pair of output devices per channel. A lot of people say that the LK 140 sounds better than the LK 85. It is just from them having more power and slam? Does the LK140 show more micro dynamics?
You do not need a sub with Tukans (well I don't, maybe you do). These have more bass it seems than my larger B&W CDM1 NT's. Such a great little speaker
I just hooked up the second LK 85 up and I am impressed, the bass has even more presence. I am going to start looking for a Karin preamp now!
