For anyone starting off it is a no brainer in terms of cost. The price differential between a decent DAC and turntable is huge and getting bigger. On top of that a months subscription to Tidal Hi-Fi is the equivalent of a new LP of uncertain quality. Though the quality of Tidal streams varies depend...

I had the demo on a Saturday, a day when DSJR was not in the shop, as he has advised in a previous thread.

This has been quite informative. I was not aware of the extent of the stranglehold the Glasgow mafia had over dealers. I was well aware of their control over the hi-fi press and upset Ivor in 1980 with my letter which struck a sensitive nerve. One of the things that really got me was the constant ra...

They can only do it because of the amount of suckers who have been taken in for 30+ years. Not easy to admit you have been a brain washed idiot for that length of time.

I bought a pair of Grado SR225es last year after auditioning them against several competitors at below and around the same price. To my ears they came out on top by some margin. An excellent very detailed sound playing Tidal Hi-Fi through my Chord Mojo. Do not find comfort to be a problem. For in ho...

As more and more truths come out about Ivor, and the Company, on the WWW there is likely to be an effect. To all intents and purposes Linn do not cater for audiophiles today, except for the completely brainwashed who first bought into the myth decades ago and remain blind to the error of their ways....

Corrections. Hamish's original bearing was a ball bearing. Castle designed the hardened point and thrust plate bearing "for him" to an order. Castle then decided to apply for a patent on the bearing cutting Hamish out. Hamish and Ivor met when he came to work for his dad in uni holidays, ...

I started this thread because Ivor’s son, a chip off the old block but less smart, is attempting to distort history under the cover of the mists of time. It seems his intention, via the priesthood, was to transfer what is on the Linn website to Wikipedia . The clandestine origin of Linn products is ...
