The need to reduce waste and its impact on the planet has never been more topical on a global scale, yet throwaway culture is ingrained across society. Linn is - as it always has been - leading the longevity charge in consumer electronics.
On paper, they couldn’t be more different: music is either unashamedly analogue or defiantly digital. But the two different technologies have much more in common than you might think.
Remember when music was something you could touch? Digital music has revolutionised the way we listen, but something has been lost along the way. Selekt DSM brings the good times back. It’s a tactile and beautiful musical experience. And it’ll make you fall in love with music all over again.
Sometimes we imagine ourselves as the Indiana Jones of audio, uncovering musical treasure that others thought was lost forever. With our latest Sondek LP12 upgrades, we’ve used cutting edge technology in our quest to reach our Holy Grail. Weve made vinyl sound even better.
At Linn we’re obsessed with reproducing music as faithfully as possible. We already design and make the world’s best audio systems right here in Scotland. And now, we’ve spent £1.1 million to make the best even better.

Have you ever wondered what makes music magic? I have. I’ve wondered why great songs can have such different effects, so a version played by one artist sends shivers up my spine while the same song performed identically by somebody else leaves me unmoved.
There’s one audio format that just keeps on going because it doesn’t know it’s dead. It’s time our good old friend the Compact Disc breathed its last.
Converting data into an analogue signal is the name of the game for digital music systems. So plugging in a dedicated audiophile DAC can only improve things right? Hold your horses. Here’s why you should be considering a Network Music Player instead.
Tech that removes the effects of your room from the sound of your music system is de rigueur at the moment, and rightly so. Avoid environmental influence and you’re on the road to a better experience. But solutions that use a microphone to measure and adjust are far from delivering on what they promise. Here’s why we dropped the mic.
