[rec.audio.high-end] End of civilization as we know it

randy@uutopia.dell.com (Randy Price) (09/04/90)

As was posted in rec.audio and confirmed by friends at a dealer: 
McIntosh Audio has been sold to Clarion of Japan.

While visiting a dealer, a Linn rep reported that a Linn CD player is
imminent!!!!!

In is regard to the latter that I have some questions for netland:

!.  The Linn player will be based on D/A converters designed by _Numeric
Systems_.  Has anyone heard of these people?  Are they UK based, perhaps?

2.  I am going to evaluate a Linn integrated amp this weekend.  It is
impressive and very "Linn-like" -- no tone or balance controls -- but
very attractive in its own way.  Does anyone have an opinion on Linn
electronics, reliability, etc?  I will make up my own mind on the sound.
 I am already sold on Linn turntables (I won an LP-12) speakers. (I will
be buying Kans soon.)

Randy
