Founded by Ivor Tiefenbrun in 1973, Linn was born from one man’s belief that he could vastly improve the sound quality of his music system at home, using precision-engineering and determined experimentation.
We're now into our sixth decade of designing, engineering and manufacturing systems that deliver exceptional detail and emotional impact.
We've picked up our fair share of awards over that period - because we've consistently been pushing the boundaries of technology in the pursuit of breathtaking sound. From our very first product, Sondek LP12, we've been at the forefront of home audio. We don't just embrace technology for technology's sake, though. Everything we do has to answer one simple question: does this bring you closer to your music?
In a world of planned obsolescence, we staunchly do the opposite. Our hardware is modular and our software upgradeable. That means the best possible sound not just today, but for the lifetime of the product. So when technology improves, so can your enjoyment.
From the outset, Linn championed direct A/B demonstrations, to enable fair and objective comparison of hi-fi components, and to set forth our assertion that technical specifications bear little relevance to musical enjoyment – and that one should ‘just listen’, trusting in tapping feet, smiling faces and nodding heads instead. This ‘tune dem’ method, for evaluating the relative merits of similar components, sits at the heart of our development of new products and upgrades; so we can always be certain that anything we subsequently release performs better – more naturally and with more musicality – than what has gone before.
We go to extremes to pursue musical perfection and, when you hear the results, you'll understand why.
Founded by Ivor Tiefenbrun in 1973, Linn was born from one man’s belief that he could vastly improve the sound quality of his music system at home, using precision-engineering and determined experimentation.
Our first-ever product, the modular and upgradeable Sondek LP12, revolutionised the hi-fi industry by demonstrating the huge musical difference a superbly engineered turntable could make to any hi-fi system. Its demonstrable ability to extract more music from the grooves of a record than the standard of the day led to the step-change in doctrine that the source component in a system, and not the loudspeakers, mattered most.
Over fifty retrofittable mechanical and electrical upgrades to its original design, over the last five decades, have ensured that Sondek LP12 remains the performance benchmark in vinyl playback through to present day.
Linn products look as good as they sound; they're even beautiful on the inside. Each system is built by hand in our Glasgow factory, and bears the name of the engineer who made it. It's built with precision and pride, designed for the future and engineered to extraordinarily tight tolerances. Every product is rigorously tested before it leaves our factory in order to ensure that it delivers outstanding performance.
A Linn system isn't just something to enjoy now. It's an investment in profound musical enjoyment for many, many years to come.
The 119 is a modern and compact bookshelf loudspeaker, delivering an engaging performance with energy, refinement, neutrality, and fun.
The 150 is a modern, high-performance compact 3-way loudspeaker. This brand-new passive model delivers an energetic, sophisticated sound that’s sure to bring plenty of enjoyment!
360 is audibly invisible. It produces a performance with unprecedented clarity and realism, that’s entirely absent of sonic colouration. Incorporating innovative drive unit and amplifier technologies, 360 turns out our lowest ever levels of audible distortion.
Krystal benefits from the same design principles inherent to our premium moving coil Kandid cartridge, allowing it to accurately track the minute modulations of a record groove.
Intelligent digital crossover and DAC with integrated power amplifier
With Arko, we have returned to fundamentals, by removing all bar the mission-critical elements of tonearm design, boiling these down to their essence, and then honing what was left to superlative standards. Perfectly poised and rigorously refined, Arko is effortful simplicity.
Ekos SE sets a new performance benchmark. Advanced materials have been carefully selected for their sound performance and low resonance properties.
Linn's all-new, flagship cartridge, Ekstatik, sets a new bar for arm/cartridge synergy; its unique construction forges an harmonious synergy with Ekos SE; wicking away more unwanted resonances along the arm, and out through the sub-chassis.
The ExaktBox Sub is an Exakt Digital Crossover with DAC designed for use with subwoofers.
Kandid uses the finest nude diamond Line Contact stylus and benefits from a ceramic boron cantilever for ultra low mass and extremely high rigidity.
