Before I bought my first system it took me a few months to test tons of NADs, Marantzes, Arcams, Denons, etc. - still on the entry level.

Then suddenly I was introduced to LINN products by a helpful dealer and I chose Classik with Ninka. Actually I spent a lot of time on comparing Ninka to Katan because I needed some time to get used to the Ninka s price however I got also fascinated by the beauty of the sound produced by small Katans.

I lived with Classik and Ninkas for almost two years.

In the meantime LINN introduced so many fantastic new products: Unidisks, Exotik, Kisto, Kinos, Akurate, and now Artikulat. From this list I have chosen actually only one, Unidisk SC. I added AV5125 and that’s it.

AV5125 enabled me to run my Ninkas AKTIVely what just moved my system onto a much higher level. AKTIV is simply fantastic. It’s like squezing much better sound from the same speakers.

My LCD TV from NAD (only for Scandinavia!) is simply fantastic. I still cannot find better LCD on the market.

Finally I also bought a TASCAM cassette deck which I like very much.

My room is very small and it will not change in the near future. I experimented a lot with different speakers/furniture setup and this seems to be the best solution.

In general I agree with the idea of reproducing every detail present in a recording in the most neutral way. I don’t want music to be beautified or made warmer, softer, harder, drier, etc. I only want to get what is there on the disc. That’s why I like LINN.
