Haha, right! I mean for starters, you gotta ditch the OKX wallet for Ledger 😂

The are! So you turn the jog dial in the front right-hand corner to adjust the speed. And you press the same jog dial down - as though it were a giant button - to initiate the tonearm moving over to the record and cuing up your next play. Being fully automatic, the tonearm will return to its cradle automatically. However, if you were done with playing for whatever reason midway through the record, simply press that jog dial down again and it will stop play and return the tonearm back to the cradle. Very intuitive. Very minimal. It’s a nice touch. And, yes, you can manually Q your records if you wish. As for total turntable mass, it’s a smidge under 7 kilograms. I hope that answers all your questions, my friend. They're a lovely turntable and well worth the investment. Happy spinning!

Thanks very much, that’s great.

Manufacturing in China is not to reduce the final price, but to increase profit. Captalism.

Are you just being obtuse for no reason

@KofiBaffour-t8o No, just ironic back then. Meanwhile I've realized that they've improved over the former. I always considered them to be too cheap at 1000 euros 🤔.

@MarioGuerra-d9s, did you buy the unit in Aus???

Thanks mate.

Not exactly. Looks like you're referencing Erin's Audio Corner: "5 Reasons Wharfedale Super Linton is the Hidden Gem of Audio Equipment". We love that dude! The difference lies in the bass dynamics (Time Stamp 12:35 of Erin's video). And as Erin says, that dynamic difference between the two, the Super Linton "it's gonna have just a little bit more oomf in that kick drum region." So, yes, you're absolutely right that is measures f3 of 77hz vs the regular Linton. But power is in its dynamic delivery. It's a more refined low end.

@@audiovisualrevolutionptyltd An F3 of 52hz means it digs deeper than an F3 of 77hz. I have no doubt in my listening that I would be able to pick out the difference along with anyone else. A side by side comparison between the two would probably be very noticeable with the original Linton having a smoother and more natural bass tone given it rolls off at a lower frequency. Since the tweeters are different types no doubt a difference would also be noticeable there also although which one would be considered better may be of opinion. The main difference may be in the new “better” crossover in the super. One would hope there may be a slight upgrade in resolution.

Ha! Amazing. Love the DIY. And you should love your Lintons, Super or not. I think another option is welcome, and it's one that in no way detracts from the talents of the original. Thanks for the comment, mate. exactly the type of conversation that makes the audio community awesome.

Great question! We bought it last year for the Stereonet HiFi show. Can't remember of the top of my head but I will reach out to the gang in the office and hunt down the exact website. Btw, it was really affordable. I'll be in touch

@@audiovisualrevolutionptyltd Excellent!

Alright! We found it. Its the "Zara Entertainment Unit - TV Cabinet and Storage Unit" on MyDeal.com.au

How can you not get it?? Price!

@ stop grousing you can afford the Dovedale’s.

@@HanifBarnwell I’d like to hear the Linton side by side with the Dovedale.

@ yes that would be an interesting comparison

exactly this, I am not paying 2x the standard price for a supposedly minor improvement

there are no measurements out yet, so we dont know how much better (or worse) this new super linton speaker will be. erin (erins audio corner) has them, so he will be able to compare them to the "normal" linton. until then, everything is pure speculation...

@@jeanbeezyNo it isn’t. If you believe Erin’s findings will be Earth shattering and justify the price hike, you’re fooling yourself.

Most reviewers say the stock Lintons were great but the tweeter had a bit of graininess to it, so they knocked it down a star because of that. This "Super" version gets its tweeter from the Dovedale, hence it should be smoother and not have that grainy sound. It is worth the extra $$$? That will be for people to decide. I'd like to compare these Super Linton with Monitor Audio Silver 500 7g (which are about $500 more) and see how they compare.

Hey @drazenbabich . Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It’s clear you’ve got a good understanding of the Lintons and a passion for the heritage series! You’re spot-on that the original Linton made a splash and that it was initially marketed as a limited edition but that the demand was so high that it’s become Wharfedale’s best-selling speaker to date. So for any business, keeping a popular product alive is a smart move, especially when some of those green backs will allow them to fund new innovations, right! How long have Air Jordans been around now? The increase in Aus is $1800. And for that additional dosh you get upgraded drivers, crossovers, and cabinet construction - that’s pretty much it. There are new binding posts but I didn’t really think it was worth a mention. Maybe I should’ve. So the increased dollars is purely going to sound quality. This is a sound quality difference. And it’s really going to be up to individual listener, getting out there to the stores and having a good ol’ fashioned demo between the two, as to whether the increase in price is worth the increase in performance. And for my money, I think it is. But, look, I was with you 100% before I heard these. I just didn’t see a reason to marginally improve the sound of Wharfedale’s highest selling loudspeaker of all time. A speaker that clearly sounds amazing as it is. A speaker that an insane amount of people around the world know and love - like yourself. Especially when there was no aesthetic difference, no way to really mark it as a distinct and advanced new model. And then I heard them. And I was like, ‘ok, I get it.’ So some folk are gonna say that this is bosh. Others are gonna buy in. And it’s really going to be up to the individual. In the end, your original Lintons are incredible. You know that. So enjoy the sh*^ outta them. You bought an absolute banger. You bought the highest selling Wharfedale speaker model… ever! And for good reason. Thanks again for your insights - this is exactly the type of conversation that makes the audio community great!

Well worth your time.

Wondering this myself as they’re not supposed to be released until mid November but enjoyed this video nevertheless

​@@__DMC__82 Did you not know that reviewers get product before us plebes? Erin's audio corner just posted a review of some X3s with a comparison to the new Super Lintons. There is more engagement in the comments on that review about the Lintons than the X3s! 😂 Seems the audience has spoken and we are all super curious to know the facts.

He does sound like nothing more than a press release. Maybe just wanted to be first on the board with a Super Linton review? I mean, he obviously HAS them, but this "review" is lacking objective and subjective substance, mainly the subjective part. I have never seen this channel before and I would wager he is a retailer in Australia based on this video alone. Edit: Just clicked his link. Yes...a retailer. Of course there will be no negatives mentioned.

No, I got a pre production model to play with, which was rad! But, fellas, I’m no reviewer. There are folk out here on the KZbinsphere that do that sort of thing waaaaaaay better… and without bias. We import and retail IAG products. These are just features to give our customers - and anyone else who’s listening - a little more insight than the press release or product page. We try to break down the press release a little, give people a slightly better understanding of why things have been implemented and what that’s likely to result in. BUT!!! We think it best to pair what you learn here with a review from one of the top players (which I hear is coming) and then go have a listen for yourself.

@@MS-pw8yu Absolutely mate. This isn't a review. We don't do reviews. We just do video features of new product releases from the Brands we support and leave the reviewing to more qualified channels 😉

You’re gonna have to take this response with a grain of salt. I’m no reviewer. I’m certainly no audiophile. And there’s obviously bias because we import and retail IAG products… so every new thing is awesome, right! And, sure, I’ve spent years in the industry listening to a bunch of gear but nowhere near enough to do something on the level of say @DarkoAudio or @andrewrobinsonreviews or @PursuitPerfectSystem. They’re really your go-to guys before you’d step into a store and have a listen for yourself. So, with that in mind, I think Super Linton is a significant improvement on the original. I was skeptical before they turned up. But once they did and I had a listen, I got it pretty quickly. Without going into details, cause I don’t do that, everyone said how much fun Linton Heritage was. How well it played with such a wide variety of music genres. How much energy it had. And how much value for money it was. And I felt that. I spent a fair bit of time with Linton and it was exactly that: fun, lively, energetic, and really really good for the money. Now, did I think it lacked in resolution, air, and dynamics? Nope. But when Mission 770 turned up on my doorstep, those shortcomings became more apparent. But! There’s also a major difference in the price between these two speakers. Super Linton is being positioned as the step up between Dovedale and Linton Heritage. But I think it’s closer to a step up between Linton and Mission 770. Also an IAG brand and also a heritage loudspeaker. Linton Heritage: $3,399 AUD Super Linton: $5,199 AUD Mission 770: $7,299 AUD If you’ve got your eye on the original Linton but might be willing to stretch the budget for a more refined version of this killer heritage loudspeaker so many folk around the world rave on about, then I highly recommend you head to your local dealer and demo the two. Not a wasted trip in the slightest. Here in AUS, they’re 1800 bucks more. Do I feel you get $1800 of improved performance? I really do. But that’s just me. Whether others are going to is another question entirely. Guess we’ll let the internet decide that one. Thanks for your question, mate. We really appreciate the support.

And designed them to sound better with grills off, I prefer looking at the speakers grills off any day !

Super Linton is all about sonic improvement - and Mr Comeau and his team make a point to mention the upgraded (non-magnetic) grilles contribution 🔊🔉🔊

@@audiovisualrevolutionptyltd yes, guess since the speakers are designed to be best sonically with the grilles on, they figured no reason to make them magnetic. But still here in 2024, many would prefer, indeed expect, that option.

@@rosswarren436 Will pass on your feedback. Thank you

@@rosswarren436 Absolutely. We get that. And in some respects I kinda agree - particularly when Super Denton gave us magnetic grilles, right! But, every speaker has its shortcomings, yeah. If this is Super Linton's biggest, then it's probably doing alright. Not that mag grilles wouldn't have been nice. Don't think your comments go unheard, either. We do pass this sort of feedback up the chain. What they do with it... well, that's to be determined in future releases, I suppose. Thanks for the insight, mate.

It should, with ease. I have the musical fidelity a1 2023 amplifier, I'm running the klh_model_5 which is less sensitive. I can't get pass 35% volume without reaching 85 DB. Musical Fidelity is really good.

@@mjlgamorcito thank you for your feedback. I love the A1 currently considering these or the new kef concert metas.

Yes!

I've never tried the combination, however based on specifications it should work. If you confirm your postcode, we can recommend you to your nearest Super Linton retailer who may actually have an A1 you can audition them with. Let us know 😎

I'm not an expert, so take my opinion with caution. If you have the space, I would go for the Super Linton without hesitation, specially if you are pairing it with the musical fidelity a1 2023, the weight and body of the sound of the Musical Fidelity a1 with heritage inspired sound signature is sweet. I assume (have not listened the concertos), but I would guess that these will give a more modern sound signature, nothing bad with it, I also like speed, attack, definition detail. But the body of the wharfedales, missions 770, Klh_model_5, etc is pretty captivating. Either case, I suspect, that either of the two combinations you are evaluating will take you in heaven for many years. Good choices. 👍​@@TheRealHipPriest

Koliko će koštati? Da li su dobri za manju ili sobu srednjih dimenzija? Pozdrav

@@libertalian_8415 $2499 early bird

Ovo ili kef r3 meta ?

@@acadjukanovic6855 Mislim da bi KEF bio bolji u velikoj prostoriji (nije dobar za manji prostor) , dok bi Super Linton bio bolji u srednje velikoj. Linton se može staviti bliže zidu dok KEF zahtijeva da se ipak odmakne da ne bi imao problema sa basom. Za topliji ton i uživanje u muzici bih ja prije odabrao Wharfedale. Isto tako KEF je 4 oma dok je Linton 6, što znači da će KEF zahtijevati jaču potrošnju pojačala koje će se više grijati. Linton ima senzitivnost 90 dB dok KEF ima oko 87 što znači da će Linton biti glasniji za istu količinu potrošene snage na pojačalu. Najbolje ih je opet čuti uživo. Recimo meni generalno Wharfedale (bilo koji) nije za kućno kino, ali za muziku mi je odličan. Nadam se da sam pomogao. Pozdrav

@@acadjukanovic6855 you should try a Demo first if you can

Appreciate the advice. But we're NOT a reviewing channel. We're Aus importers of IAG products and as such we offer on the highest level information on features and specs. For a deep dive, we suggest that you check out the following reviews from Andrew Robinson and the Audiophile Man: Super Denton: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2rWaZ6ZpbiVrZosi=iuRQffGhk9kxSmTm Mission 750: Tough!

A platter weight, when centered around the spindle, has minimal impact on the speed of the Dual CS-529. This is because the weight is concentrated at the pivot point, where it has the least effect on rotational dynamics. Think of it like a flywheel: weight placed toward the edges of a spinning object has more impact than weight near the center. The CS-529’s speed is also electronically regulated to ensure the correct speed. The platter weight's main advantage is that it presses the record more firmly against the rubber mat, reducing vibrations and improving damping. However, there is a downside to consider: the additional weight increases the load on the platter bearing, which can lead to increased wear over time. To minimize this risk, keep the platter weight under 500 grams. At this level, it should not cause significant wear.

Definitely not. The Dual factory in Germany had aged, and required huge investment to bring up to current standards....huge investment and German manufacturing would have meant the prices for Dual turntables would have increased massively. This being said, the Maximus Primus is still handmade in Germany, selling for $18,999 in Australia. Contract manufacturing in China, under the supervision of Dual's QC management, has meant better quality turntables at more competitive prices 👍

@@audiovisualrevolution Thank you. I just bought one

From searching online I can see the Denon is a premium home theatre receiver. Selecting 2-Channel Stereo mode with the Dual CS-529BT and Klipsch speakers would sound great 👍

@@audiovisualrevolutionptyltd Thank you. Just ordered my 529

@@JelleSchaffie👌

One of my favourite combinations is with the Wharfedale EVO4.2's, saying that we've tried the Super Denton's with the 7000A and they too sound awesome - note both are a 3 way bookshelf speaker 🔉🔉🔉

I hear you. I own marantz cd-5003. 15 yrs old. I'm using that as my transport to a Geshelli J-2 dac. Sounds really good to my ears. As you know, lots of folks hear a distinct improvement using a CDT. Still tempted to try one from Crutchfield. There return policy is great. We'll see.

That's what I thought, and used a Marantz 6000 ose as a transport, and it sounded great. I was offered an Audiolab 6000cdt to try, and despite not wanting to spend after Christmas credit card bills the improvement was noticeable, surprisingly. There's every reason a cd transport should be better than a player, noise being the main one.I was a sceptic, now my streaming sounds inferior to my cds.

@@barlow2976 Thanks for your input. Still thinking about giving one a try. If there is a difference, at 73 yrs old, and a bit of tinnitus, If it is subtle I doubt I would hear it.

Great to hear and thank you for sharing your combination success with us 😊

By design the tray is lightweight (less resistance in loading) however it has been tested to many 1000's of actions and failure rate is below negligible.

@audi " below negligible " ? 😂 is that similar to ,' sub minus zero no limit' ?
