Been fixing one of these for a pal. He said it cost the thick end of 1000
quid new - and I wondered where the money was spent. Makes like Quad and
even Naim have chunky bespoke ally castings for the faceplate etc - the
Linn is simply pressed steel and plastic. Switches etc neither look or
feel good - and the display is poor. Not enough characters to make full
names. It works well enough - but looks more like budget Taiwan than top
end UK.

The models names are enough to put me off anyway. ;-)

Yeah, well. Ivor's laughing all the way to The Leeds, isn't he?!
