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

A more affordable path to owning an Exakt system - contact us for impact
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."
First UK launch by Linn of the Linn Klimax EXAKT System at House of Linn, in Manchester on November 5th from 8pm.

Jazz Saxophonist Nat Birchall Presents Coltrane, House of Linn, April 25th from 8pm
We are thrilled to have Jazz Saxophonist Nat Birchall, the UK's leading exponent of John Coltrane's music, as our special guest speaker to present and discuss the life and music of John Coltrane.
Aptly hailed by Gilles Peterson as “one of the best musicians in the UK” saxophonist Nat Birchall remains one of the UK’s hidden jazz treasures.
Playing tenor and soprano saxophones, he is a band leader, composer and arranger ( and occasional DJ ) who has grabbed listeners attention with his soulful sound and inspirational spiritual music.
Nat speaks with authority as a musician and lecturer about his love of Jazz.
Nat will also be bringing along some of his favourite jazz and roots recordings for the evening, so please join us for a special night of fine music, wine and relaxation.
We will be listening to one of the greatest albums of modern jazz - A Love Supreme in Studio Master – the highest download quality – and on Vinyl with the new Linn reference KANDID moving coil cartridge - you will hear every detail of the music exactly as it sounded in 1964.
We also have John Coltrane analogue recordings to listen to from our large vinyl collection.
Be the first to listen with the new Linn Akubarik Loudspeaker at Linn Lounge at House of Linn on April 25th from 8pm.
House of Linn will host the first UK retail presentation of this exciting new loudspeaker.
Come along to this House of Linn evening of fine music and refreshments and relax, listen and enjoy the best sound in our large music lounge.
RSVP by phone or email to reserve your place at this special House of Linn Lounge event.
We hope to see you for an eventful evening!
