Some say they heard the best sound of music at brianandtrevors
OUR HISTORY: LINN PRODUCTS, HOUSE OF LINN, BRIANANDTREVORS
We have been collectively involved in the audio industry for over forty years – Trevor working for a Specialist Hi-Fi dealer in Oxford in 1984, and Brian, joining Linn Products in 1992, meeting Trevor who had joined Linn in 1989. In 2007, we left our employment with Linn Products to set up House of Linn as an appointment-only audio consultancy, specialising exclusively, offering the range of Linn components and systems, with reference demonstrations, sales, installation, service, upgrades, advice and aftercare. We are Europe's Leading Linn Specialist and deliver the full customer benefits of Linn's integrated capability.
In 2009, we established brianandtrevors to offer a broader range of components and solutions we listened to extensively that are featured on this website. Brianandtrevors and House of Linn operate appointment-only from a large, comfortable Victorian house in Greater Manchester, and unlike shop dem rooms, our systems are installed in real rooms, as well as in our diner kitchen and hallways. All without compromise for the best performance to give a pretty good idea of the performance expected in any home.
Since we began our audio consultancy journey in 2007, we have enjoyed meeting more than one thousand hi-fi enthusiasts and music lovers who have contacted us for appointments from around the UK and overseas. We treat our clients in the same way we like to be treated. We are a pressure-free zone with extremely high client retention and we are regularly welcoming new visitors and clients to the house. We are a true Audio Consultancy offering fantastic customer service and personal appointments for hi-fi demonstrations, advice, sales, installation, service and aftercare. With more than forty years knowledge and experience, our standards and expertise are second to none. Talk to us for the best advice. Make an appointment with us for better sound and hear the difference.
Brian and Trevor also own and run House of Linn, Europe's Leading Linn Audio Specialist established in 2007, and The Booplinth Company, designers of booplinth, the premiere plinth upgrade for the Linn LP12 turntable.

There are after all, better alternatives to compressed audio, to fully appreciate music as it was intended by the artist.

prices on Exakt System purchases and upgrades.
For a limited time, we have a special offer that provides Klimax DS owners with a stepping stone towards the breakthrough performance of EXAKT.
From 1st July until 16th September 2014, there are two ways in which KLIMAX DS owners can take advantage of this offer:
1. New audio board which converts the Klimax DS into a Klimax DSM with EXAKT Link connections.
2. The new audio board upgrade can also be purchased as a package with Renew DS, which houses the original Klimax DS audio board and creates a second, fully-functional Linn DS player for use in another room.
This offer provides Klimax DS owners with an EXAKT upgrade path to a Klimax DSM with Exakt Link connections, and be Exakt-Ready.
Importantly, upgrading from Klimax DS to Klimax DSM with EXAKT Link
connections provides improved performance from all digital sources within a simpler, integrated system solution.
The upgrade cost for KLIMAX DS to KLIMAX DSM with EXAKT LINK connections is £7,800 with Renew, and £5,900 without Renew.
This is a great offer since a new Exakt-ready KDSM costs £15,580.
Full 5-year Warranty:
Linn will provide a full 5-year warranty for the upgraded Klimax DSM with Exakt Link connections and the Renew DS - the same great support that customers would receive when buying a brand new product.
Contact House of Linn now: 0161 766 4837
House of Linn takes care of the entire process:
Klimax DS players must be returned to House of Linn for factory conversion and upgrade.

We were delighted to read the following review of our show system driven by Linn, from French audio publication, Hifi Pig:
" One of the stand-out rooms for me, both in terms of absolute sound quality and value for money was in Brian and Trevors' room. Here a pair of moderate sized full-range floor standing speakers from pro-audio company Adam were strutting their tautly controlled and room filling stuff for a little over £7,000 - this including the onboard active power amplification!
In all honesty, this display of fiscal generosity somewhat put to shame many of the otherwise excellent systems at the Show. Simply stunning value for money in my opinion.
The whole system was able to be powered by PS Audio mains regenerator equipment."
