Integrated Amplifiers
Linn Majik DS-I
Majik DS-I Ultimate one-box solution offers exceptional performance from the inbuilt Linn Majik DS digital streamer, plus further analogue and digital inputs. Even features a phono input for a turntable! Can accept Linn Aktiv modules and external poweramplifiers to provide an upgrade path for Linn loudspeakers.
Linn Majik-I
Majik-I uses high performance audio circuitry derived from Linn’s flagship Klimax products, designed to preserve the integrity of the source audio signal with outstanding efficiency
Majik-I features six stereo source inputs, including a configurable phono input (MM or line level, upgradeable to MC) for a turntable, along with a front panel input for a portable music player and a headphone socket.
Linn's Chakra amplification offers increased power, reliability and efficiency, less heat and lower distortion than other amplifier designs. Chakra amplification also deploys Linn’s proprietary hum and buzz-free Switch Mode Power Supply technology for superior mains noise isolation and efficiency to generate stable, clean power for the audio circuitry.
Majik-I is the ideal foundation on which to build your hi-fi system over time, for example by multi-amping or going fully Aktiv.
Majik-I is the perfect partner for Linn’s Majik CD player, combining premium audio performance with unbeatable value.
Creek Evolution 2
The Evolution 2 uses a high quality, Burr-Brown PGA2311, digitally controlled analogue volume control. This allows the user to adjust the volume accurately, from 0 to -80dB. An analogue style rotary encoder, with 40mm solid control knob, is used to alter the volume from the front panel and display the relative level on a large blue coloured VFD. Position 80 is the loudest and 0 is mute. To amplify the signals into the volume control circuit, a high grade Burr-Brown OPA2134 Op-Amp is used as a pre-amplifier. Signal switching is performed by gold contact relays, which are digitally selected from a microcontroller, similar to the Destiny Integrated Amplifier.
NAD C315BEE
NAD has an enviable reputation for creating some of the best performing budget amplifiers of all time. The lineage is impressive, all the way from the 3020 of 1978 to the current C325BEE, with many “Best Amp” awards and 5 Star reviews along the way. As loudspeaker quality and performance has continued to improve, especially at modest price points, NAD felt that there was room for a lower cost amp that could take advantage of these speakers; creating a new entry point for serious musical performance.
Preamplifiers
Linn Akurate Kontrol
The Akurate Kontrol is a stereo and multi-channel digital and analogue pre-amplifier, offering eight channels of high performance audio for a range of applications.
The Akurate Kontrol has a phono stage for a turntable, six analogue and six digital outputs and can process all major audio algorithms:
- Dolby Digital 5.1
- Dolby Pro Logic II
- DTS Surround
- DTS 96/24
The Akurate Kontrol pre-amplifier uses Linn's 'silent power' Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) to minimise noise and distortion so all you hear is great music.
Linn Klimax Kontrol
Klimax Kontrol is Linn's finest stereo pre-amplifier, precision engineered to extract the best performance from any connected source.
The simplicity of the Klimax Kontrol design is complemented by exceptional ease of use. Simply select the input you want to listen to and adjust the volume. Nothing more.
Like all Linn pre-amplifiers, Klimax Kontrol features Knekt technology which means you can also enjoy music throughout your home as part of a Linn Knekt multi-room system.
Power Amplifiers
Linn Majik 2100
The Linn Majik 2100 is a dedicated stereo power amplifier designed specifically to deliver high quality stereo music. The Majik 2100 power amplifier helps you to rediscover your music.
Developed from Linn’s latest Chakra power amplifier topology, the Majik 2100 is an ideal amplifier for use in stereo systems and can also be used in multi-channel systems.
Chakra is a simple but highly innovative design, perfected by Linn through precision engineering. It offers significantly increased power, reliability and efficiency, whilst at the same time producing less heat, less distortion and using fewer components. In short, Linn’s Chakra amplifier topology is superior in every parameter through simplicity.
Linn Akurate 2200
The Akurate range of power amplifiers utilise Linn’s proprietary Chakra technology to provide increased power, reliability and efficiency, whilst producing less heat and distortion.
The Akurate range comprises the following models:
4200 - 4 channels, 200W
3200 - 3 channels, 200W
2200 - 2 channels, 200W
Each model is available with either balanced XLR or RCA phono input connectors, offering you the flexibility to achieve the best performance from your system regardless of the length of the loudspeaker cables used.
Linn’s proprietary audio-optimised Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) technology generates stable, low noise power rails for the audio circuitry, with higher mains noise isolation and efficiency than bulky and noisy conventional power supplies.
All Akurate power amplifiers are designed to accommodate internal Aktiv crossover cards, making it simple to improve performance by upgrading to an Aktiv configuration with Linn loudspeakers.
Linn Klimax Chakra 500 Twin
The Klimax Chakra 500 Twin is Linn's highest performing stereo power amplifier combining outstanding performance with stunning looks.
Designed for use as a stereo power amplifier or in high performance multi-amplifier or multi-channel systems, the Klimax Chakra 500 Twin delivers incredible, consistently pure sound.
Critical to the performance of the Klimax Chakra 500 Twin is Linn's patented Chakra amplifier technology, providing consistent performance, controlled ‘silent power’ and pure sound in virtually any performance entertainment system.
It also features a balanced audio input for the best and most secure connection to your pre-amplifier. A balanced audio signal helps to remove unwanted current and noise for the highest possible sound quality.
