Thanx Newmanoc,
I had a Klout, recently sold it, and suspected the same conclusion that you made, but went to a Pass Aleph 30 (from the same era). I found the out that the move more lateral than better. I will be going back to the Linn amps.
It was the same with my old Karik. When the Ilkemi came out no one wanted to believe that it was better than the Karik, but it was. The Karik sounds dated by todays standards.
I will heed your advice and be looking for a 5125 or the new Chakra. It is amazing to me how amplifier sound can change so much but the better Linn power supplies and better parts probably make the big difference. Thanks for your observation.
Linnie at heart.
Mike
