What Hi-Fi? reviews the Linn Klimax LP12

what hifi klimax lp12 thumbnail
What Hi-Fi? recently reviewed the Linn Klimax LP12 and Colin Macey, our hi-fi guru, went to set it up for the review demonstration.
We were very happy to be asked by Linn to set up and deliver the Klimax LP12 for the What Hi-Fi? review, as it’s critical the Sondek is built and tuned to the highest possible standard. Colin’s vast experience is the reason we supply LP12s to industry professionals including current and past employees of both Linn and Naim, as well as ex-Linn and Naim retailers.
His focus on the importance of being able to hear and understand music on vinyl that’s engaging and compelling is why Colin’s consistent fussiness and attention to detail reaps such high rewards for our clients. We are grateful for their custom and they trust our integrity, and so anything that disrupts the LP12’s true musical ability isn’t endorsed no matter how profitable and fashionable.
Linn trusted us to deliver a “true” Linn Klimax LP12 to What Hi-Fi? to demonstrate their, and our objective in hearing exciting, tuneful and understandable music, and we are very pleased they appreciated its ability.

Introducing the new Klimax Music System featuring Katalyst DAC architecture

Hi-Fi
new klimax music system

The brand new Klimax Exakt 350 loudspeaker

This is a “WOW” moment for us, as we’ve enjoyed this prestigious loudspeaker for many years and a considerable number of people who value our services have invested in this elegant and powerful product.

Linn launched the new Klimax DS3 and Klimax DSM2 products 5 months ago, and many clients have upgraded to this new DAC architecture which offers remarkable musical performance. We have never heard any digital system offering the level of naturalness, involvement and clarity Katalyst brings.

The exciting wait for many including ourselves is finally over, as this technology has now been applied to the 350 loud speaker. It’s utterly beguiling, offering a new insight into anything played including Blu-ray, DVD, YouTube as well as DS streaming and the LP12 turntable.

WYSAH - Main Demonstration Room

For existing 350 owners, there are many upgrades available for you to take advantage of and when you hear these new loudspeakers you will know with certainty that this is a new level of musical performance and sonic transparency.

Please contact Colin at the showroom for more information or to book a demonstration.

Linn Klimax DS/3 and DSM/3 (with Katalyst) wins streamer of the year at Hi-Fi Plus awards 2016

Hi-Fi

Linn’s revolutionary streamer has won the award for “Best Streamer of the year” at the Hi-Fi plus awards for 2016. Linn’s DS range has continued to astound since it’s initial release, breaking the boundaries between analogue and digital audio reproduction and it’s latest model continues to do just that.

Taken directly from this months Hi-Fi Plus issue:

 Streamer of the Year                                               hi fi plsu awards

Linn Products’ goal of continous improvement coupled with a desire to never leave one of its customers stranded makes for some potential clashes of ethos. Fortunately in the third iteration of Linn’s top streamers – the standard Klimax DS and preampli er-equipped Klimax DSM – both sides of the equation are expertly resolved. Linn’s new Katalyst DAC architecture represents a major step change in sonic performance of the Klimax platform, while it is also designed to be wholly upgradable for existing Klimax DS and DSM owners, who can also get their old Klimax DS back in a ‘Renew’ case. Both Klimax variants are also ‘Exakt’ ready should you decide to go the full ‘source is in the speaker’ active line that Linn has been developing in recent years. In short, Everybody wins! Katalyst carefully optimises every pathway to the DAC chip itself, allowing unparalleled access to power requirements right down to a subsystem level. The easiest – and briefest – way of considering this is it is like Linn built a bespoke suit for the DAC and it wears it well in its hewn from solid billet aluminium chambered chassis. Normally, when listening to a change in digital architecture, the difference in sound quality is comparatively small. With the Linn Klimax DS/3, that wasn’t the case. In test, Alan Sircom commented “out came ‘Son of a Preacher Man’ from Dusty Spring eld’s justly famous Dusty In Memphis album [Phillips], which sounded extremely good on the DS/2. Two bars into the same track on the DS/3 and it sounded like she was singing with a band, where the DS/2 now sounded like she was singing to a backing track. It was as if a group of better and better-rehearsed musicians had turned up.” He concluded by saying, “even at the super-lofty end of high-end digital, the Klimax DS/3 stands with the best of them.”
