I used an LK1/LK100 amp combo for years. Nowt wrong with Linn except it is a little overpriced bought new.

Linn Activ here, and very nice to, the Linn LK 85 power amp is excellent, well the LK range in general is good value for money.

Nothing wrong with some Linn gear, especially their streaming kit, which is top-notch... Even LP12s are ok, as long as you avoid the mentalist-priced new stuff

And not have it all so tightly tighten to within an inch of its life. Best sounding Linn L12 I ever heard was set up this way.Originally Posted by Marco

I've owned Linn in the past, very good kit. Had a LP12 for a while, valhalla and all the over gubbins. Eventually got replaced with the 1210.

Couple of days of testing and the Classik has the usual skipping like a tonearm fault but only on track 1 of each CD i play? could it be DUST on the laser which laser cleaning discs are best or worth an attempt to clean my self If not off to an engineer to see what can be done excellent sounding kit and moving stuff on to justify keep it Tukan are a real Jem also...
