Right now, Organik DAC performance is more within reach than ever. For the months of July and August only, upgrade your Linn product to reference-level Organik for 20% less than usual. 

Organik DAC first debuted in next-generation Klimax DSM in 2021, and in the years since its launch, Linn has been hard at work developing Organik, making it available as retrofittable upgrade to several older Linn products.

Designed without compromise, Organik is the embodiment of over thirty years of technological innovation and expertise. The performance advantage of Organik comes from a unique combination of: Modulation Method, Conversion Stage and Implementation. All these elements work harmoniously to create an analog signal with incredibly low levels of noise and distortion. 

To learn more about how this limited-time promotion can benefit you, please contact Colin at our showroom.

To showcase the power of Organik DAC we are hosting an event at our showroom this July. There you will discover the difference between Katalyst and Organik using the latest Selekt edition systems with the remarkable new Linn 150 speakers in full Organik Active Selekt. 

If this is of interest to you, please contact Colin at our showroom for more information on dates and times:

Introducing, Klimax Solo 500.  

Linn has completely re-engineered their most successful amplifier, the Klimax Solo, to create the Klimax Solo 500. Every cubic millimeter within its solid-machined enclosure has been optimised, resulting in a superior upgrade over its predecessor in every aspect, all whilst maintaining a compact form. 

The Solo 500 seamlessly integrates Adaptive Bias Control with an advanced hybrid cooling matrix and intelligent fan management. This high-performance combination delivers a class AB amplifier that even when under demanding condition, will operate silently and without thermal issues. 

Adaptive Bias Control is Linn’s groundbreaking in-house technology. 

Traditional Class AB amplifiers require a precisely set bias current in their output stage to avoid crossover distortion. However, this initial manual setting often deviates over time due to manufacturing inconsistencies, temperature changes during operation, and component degradation, resulting in the bias current drifting from its optimal level. This drift leads to increased and more noticeable transistor distortion throughout the amplifier’s life. 

Linn’s Adaptive Bias Control solves this problem. The Klimax Solo 500 automatically determines and applies the optimal bias current in real-time by continuously measuring, sampling, and digitising the current to each of its eight output transistors. An FPGA processor then calculates the exact required bias and simultaneously implements a digital control loop to maintain the ideal bias current for the transistors. 

The Klimax Solo 500 features a brand-new hybrid cooling matrix, a thermal management system which is designed to adapt to the amplifier’s demands, ensuring the system remains cool and quiet. 

All internal electronics mount upside-down onto a hard-anodized aluminum sub-chassis with a thermal plate. This highly conductive unit draws heat away from the electronics, isolated from the amp’s main casing. 

A network of machined fines adorns the thermal plate. These precisely channeled fins which were designed and optimised using sophisticated simulation software, form a complex network of channels across the plate’s surface. 

The Solo 500’s hybrid cooling system is boosted by an optimised Utopik power supply. Its auto-voltage rails dynamically adjust power output to match the audio signal and volume, only delivering what’s needed. This intelligent approach minimises unnecessary energy production. 

Combining tradition with innovation, Linn has created a fitting successor to the original Solo. The Klimax Solo 500 is a highly capable amplifier, providing reference-grade performance in a surprisingly compact design.

Bedrok for LP12, Linn’s first-ever plinth performance upgrade.

Formed of orthogonal layers of beech placed under extreme pressure and heat to create an entirely new, dense and solid material.

The stability, acoustic isolation, and resonance characteristics of the LP12 plinth fundamentally influence every component attached to it. This meticulously engineered, ultra-dense wood virtually eliminates resonance, providing an exceptionally isolated and stable foundation for your turntable’s delicate mechanism.

Cutting-edge, Exciting, Surprising and Extraordinary.

If it piques your interest, he has an interesting story to share.

Or, he can explain in person when you come to experience it.

Introducing, the 150, 119 and Selekt DSM: Classic Hub.

Linn’s 119 is a modern and high-performance compact loudspeaker; 150 is its larger, floor-standing sibling. Both all-new Linn passive speaker models are energetic and refined.

Their goal for the 119 and 150 was to create fundamentally entertaining loudspeakers that would play any source material equally well, in a refined and sophisticated manner. Both models are fitted with premium drive units which are mounted at the very front of the baffle, with no grille, to minimise occlusion and improve excursion.

The rear-ported design for the 119 delivers high performance bass, whilst the bass augmentation filter further improves performance when fed from a Linn DSM.

The 150 sports down-firing ports, which produce impactful and omnidirectional bass performance.

Both models feature low-order crossovers which have been designed for signal purity and, as a result, lend the speakers to speed and dynamism.

With 119 and 150 having 2- and 3-way designs respectively, it is now both easier and more attainable than ever to upgrade from passive to the extraordinary performance of Linn’s Exakt technology.

119 and 150 are available in Satin Black, White, Walnut, or Oak veneered finish. Optional black or silver, mild-steel pedestal stands are available for mounting 119 speakers.

This upated version of the Selekt DSM: Classic Hub enhances the overall quality of the Selekt DSM lineup whilst maintaining the cartridge-based modularity and compatibility of its predecessor.

The Classic Hub features an eye-catching central control dial containing hidden LEDs that shine through to indicate volume.  An array of six machined stainless-steel buttons for one-touch access to inputs, playlists or albums.

A high-performance, integrated, analogue-to-digital conversion stage which accepts anything from turntables to CD players and a dedicated RCA output providing bass reinforcement to a subwoofer, ensures you get impeccable sound quality from anything you connect. There is also an integrated headphone amp with 1/4″ jack output for personal listening sessions.

“As Linn loudspeaker users for decades, Steve and I are very excited with the new 119 and 150 . The main designer at Linn is responsible for loudspeakers that represent his genius at eliciting total musical immersion and involvement.” – Colin

The price of all Naim products will significantly increase from 6th December.

This is due to the ongoing impact of the Covid pandemic which has created worldwide shortages of of components leading to major logistical issues. Naim cannot absorb these and other costs any longer and it has been necessary to increase prices to allow them to move forward. Their commitment to manufacturing quality and ongoing research and development costs have made this necessary.

Any orders placed with Naim before this date will be invoiced at the current price, so if you have been considering a Naim purchase please contact Colin at the showroom who can discuss any inquiry you may have.
