I've tried several kinds of things under my Linn Karik III and settled on a Neuance shelf. I thought it delivered the best tonal balance and most coherent sound... also better pace and rhythm than cones, which surprised me for some reason. I still like a weight on top (a Mapleshade Heavyhat) ... I think. I'm not sure it makes the difference it used to before I started using the Neuance -- haven't settled that issue in my mind. Also, it would make sense to experiment with different feet with the Neuance, but I am satisfied and have ceased to find amusement in all the fiddling around. Haven't played with PCs; someone told me a better PC helped their Karik, but I note your results.
Linn CD Player Tweaks
Has anybody had any luck with any tweaks for Linn CD players, especially the Genki? I have used Tara Labs Vanishing Points (4 sounds better than 3) under the unit with some success, better focus, more defined bass but was wondering what else I should try. The PCs I tried on this unit didn't make any discernable difference to me but I am open to suggestion (PCs, isolation, etc.). Thanks.
