Upgrading your Linn Product.
In a world of planned obsolescence, we do the opposite. Linn products are designed to be easily and continuously upgraded. So your investment can last a lifetime.
Source first.
The more musical information you retrieve from the source, the better the sound. So one of our founding princples was ‘source first’, meaning that if you’re looking to upgrade your system, start with the source.
