This is the route I took to Organik
KDS/Katalyst= £6,500 mint in black
Traded in my ADS/3 plus cash balance and the result is shockingly good!.
Katalyst was a great performance leap,but Organik really is very special.
Tell me more if you can and know about the various upgrades.
I originally had a late KDS/0 in black of course
in 2009 which was slightly better than my old ADS/D.
I then upgraded the board to KDS/1 a year or two later and it was a MASSIVE improvement over the /0
A few years later I read on the old Linn forum various reviews of the /2 upgrade. These were VERY mixed and my excellent dealer had retired so had no home dem. One member couldn't make his mind up which was better and had friends in to compare the two who couldn't decide either! The consensus of some members was that it was a waste of money upgrade unless you needed the Exakt links which I didn't. I didn't bother upgrading.
Some years later the /3 Katalyst was released. Everyone raved about it as to how good it was although I never heard one. I was tempted to upgrade but didn't. I have seen one poster in the Organik upgrade thread on here say the Katalyst wasn't much of an upgrade (only one person) compared with the Organik upgrade.
So now we have the Organik. Have you compared a Katalyst/Organic A/B comparison yourself?
Did you ever hear a KDS/1 which is where I'm at, and how much improvement in all seriousness is the Organik upgrade going to be over a KDS/1?
I'm only going to go for it if the improvement is very considerable. £5,500 is good value for a LARGE improvement. I can't get out for a demo and my next nearest dealer is not a Klimax dealer, but can send mine off to Linn to put a new backplate on for the Exakt links and to upgrade the board. I checked it all out with Linn.
