The Linn LK100 stereo power amplifier, dating from approximately 1992–1999, is in good physical condition and has been tested and is working.
Description from the seller
In the early 1990s, Linn set a new standard for what a compact power amplifier could deliver with the LK100. Where traditional amplifiers were often bulky heaps of empty air, the Glasgow-based audiophile manufacturer chose an almost indestructible 'shoebox' chassis of heavy powder-coated aluminum. This enclosure serves not only as excellent electromagnetic shielding but also as a solid heat sink for the output stages.
Under the hood lies a pure bundle of Scottish muscle. The LK100 is built around an oversized toroidal ring-core transformer with a split supply, ensuring both channels stay perfectly upright under heavy load. The sound is characterized by Linn’s distinctive philosophy: razor-sharp timing, bone-dry bass control, and a dynamic, natural calm that can effortlessly reveal even notoriously difficult loudspeakers. A unique feature at the rear is the dual speaker binding posts per channel, designed to allow direct bi-wiring without fiddling with splitters. It also includes internal sockets for active crossover modules (Linn Aktiv cards), allowing the device to grow seamlessly into a fully active multi-way system.
The unit is sold as a standalone power amplifier with power cord.
Condition:
Nice vintage condition with normal light signs of age on the black chassis and front panel. Technically inspected and tested; both channels play stably, powerfully, and as expected.
