Background Information<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The Linn Akurate DSM\/1 is a state-of-the-art network player with roots in Scotland. Linn, known for its precision and innovation in the hi-fi world, uses high-quality materials and components to ensure optimal sound quality. The chassis is sturdy and carefully designed to minimize resonance. Linn\u2019s team of engineers, including Gilad Tiefenbrun, strives for perfect signal integrity through advanced internal wiring and carefully selected components.

Brand History<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Linn was founded in 1973 by Ivor Tiefenbrun. It started with the production of the Sondek LP12, a turntable that was continuously improved in the following years. One of the first innovations was the introduction of an external power supply, the Valhalla, and other important developments followed later, such as the introduction of the Lingo power supply system in 1990. In 1986, Linn released the Troika cartridge, which provided improved signal reproduction. In the 1990s, Linn expanded its offerings to include digital products, such as the Karik\/Numerik CD player, and launched the Knekt multiroom system in 1994. Linn builds almost everything in-house.
