Do You Believe in Majik?
Linn’s winter promotion gives you everything you need for stunning analogue and digital music; the best of both worlds:
Majik LP12 + Majik DSM winter promotion package = £5000
Experience the warmth of vinyl playing on this iconic turntable design, now upgraded with Linn’s very own Majik tonearm. Connect it directly to Majik DSM with built in phono preamplifier and you have a complete audiophile analogue and digital music system; just add speakers.
Source first (or rubbish in, rubbish out); Linn’s established philosophy for 45 years. The more information that can be extracted from a musical recording at the source (turntable, streamer, tape or CD) the more accurately the music will be reproduced at the end of the chain (speakers). The best speakers in the world can’t make poor audio data sound good. But even mediocre speakers will sound remarkably good when presented with accurate music from a high quality source. With Majik LP12 and DSM, you have two exceptional sources for the best of both worlds – whether cherished vinyl LPs or studio master 24 bit digital recordings, exactly as the artist performed in the studio.
This special offer from Linn runs from today (4th December) until Tuesday 29th January inclusive. It might be the only hi-fi you ever buy or need, but both also leave an almost limitless upgrade path open. Win win😉.

10% off Linn this summer
Yep, 10% off any* new Linn product or system when you trade in an old one.
The traditional Linn summer promo is here. Celebrating 45 years of production for the Scottish Hi-fi pioneers, this year’s promotion is across the board – receive a 10% discount from retail on any new Klimax, Akurate, Majik, Series 5 or Kiko component or full system by trading in an old Linn legacy product.

Complimentary Sonos or Chord with Linn Katalyst upgrade
An exclusive Loud & Clear offer for our Linn Akurate and Linn Akudorik/Akubarik customers, as well as Klimax DS/DSM and Klimax Exakt loudspeaker owners.
From Saturday 19th May until Saturday 30th June get more than you bargained for when you upgrade your Linn product to their latest Katalyst DAC architecture. Your choice: a FREE Sonos One to stream your music to an additional room (and keep the kids occupied) or a FREE Chord Company Shawline Ethernet cable, to further boost your DS/DSM audio performance.
Katalyst is only Linn’s fourth DAC platform since they launched their (now extinct) CD playback range. It is a revelation in digital audio performance and the upgrade involves replacing the entire audio board from your streamer or loudspeakers. The end result is akin to taking a blanket off your speakers.
With both Linn and Sonos now supporting the Roon user interface, this is a wonderful opportunity to rediscover your music collection with Roon’s rich metadata and insightful library management features.
As always, we’re quite flexible, so if a Sonos One or Shawline doesn’t float your boat, we’re open to offers;).
Email us to order your upgrade and claim your freebie.
