The only way to get the very best from your CD collection is to hear it through a Linn DS player.

Hear the difference for yourself and enjoy more music than you ever thought possible - bring along your CDs, or even your CD player, to one of our many events taking place at a Linn Specialist near you and experience your CD collection as never before.

Unlike a CD player, Linn DS gives you dynamic control of all your music and lets you access downloads of higher than CD quality music (Studio Master downloads - find out more and get free music).

If you can’t make it to one of the events below, your Linn Specialist will be happy to arrange a personal demonstration at a time that suits you.

On Saturday we welcomed over 100 lucky Linn owners to a very special 'Access All Areas' event celebrating the official opening of the new Visitor Centre at the Linn Factory.

Guests from all over the world enjoyed exclusive live performances from Linn artists Alyn Cosker and Maeve O’Boyle, as well as demonstrations of all the latest Linn systems. They were also able to get hands-on with our most dynamic Linn DS control solution to date, KinskyDesktop.

The official opening ceremony was performed by Linn Managing Director Gilad Tiefenbrun, supported by his father Ivor, Founder and Executive Chairman.

Thanks to everyone who entered the prize draw - an enjoyable afternoon was had by all, and we’re looking forward to welcoming more visitors to the factory in the coming months.

The new Linn Visitor Centre boasts state-of-the-art demonstration rooms and is fully equipped with all the latest Linn Systems including the full range of Linn DS players, a new generation of music players that stream music over a home network and offer breakthrough specialist performance and convenience.

Our Richard Rogers-designed facility is purpose-built to support the unique manufacturing process that guarantees the unrivalled performance and value enjoyed by Linn owners worldwide.

Our first online Q&A session on the LP12 SE upgrades was a great success (you can replay the event here if you missed it). 

Enjoy a special live performance from Linn’s latest signing, singer Maeve O'Boyle, at the Apple store in Glasgow in May.

 

Maeve will perform a selection of songs from her highly-anticipated debut album "All My Sins", due for release in June 2009, including the single "Swimming Upstream".

 

If you can’t make this performance, don't worry. Maeve is touring all round the UK and Ireland during May, June and July, so there will be lots more opportunities to hear this exciting new artist.

 

The Daily Mail recently said of Maeve: "Look out for this 21-year-old Scot who's been snapped up by Linn, who famously brought us The Blue Nile. The Nile's Calum Malcolm produces this quite lovely collection of folk rock, which includes among its collaborators Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue and Teenage Fanclub's Francis Macdonald. Maeve's exceptional voice is evident on the single, Swimming Upstream."

Senior Linn Engineers, Ian Wilson, David Williamson and Trevor Stacey, took time out recently to answer your Radikal and Urika questions first-hand at Linn’s first live online Q&A session.

 

They answered close to 100 of your questions which came thick and fast during the extended session (originally planned for an hour, but lasted almost two!), and read with interest your system details, ideas and survey responses.

 

If you weren’t around for the live session, you can watch the replay. 

 

We plan to run more of these sessions in the future, so keep an eye out on this page for details and feel free to add comments here on what you’d like to talk to us about!

Sit back, relax and experience the most exhilarating performance from an LP12 ever at a Linn Musical Event near you.

 

The 'Out of this World - LP12 SE' Event Series, featuring the new Radikal and Urika upgrades takes place between April and June 2009 at Linn Turntable Specialists worldwide.

 

Many will be attended by Senior Linn Engineers, giving you the chance to speak directly to the people working day-to-day on the longest-lived hi-fi product of all time.
