Founded by Ivor Tiefenbrun in 1973, Linn was born from one man’s belief that he could vastly improve the sound quality of his music system at home, using precision-engineering and determined experimentation. Now into their sixth decade of designing and manufacturing systems that deliver exceptional detail and emotional impact.

A modern living room with a sleek black speaker, a wooden turntable, and a silver audio unit on a wooden cabinet, set against a wood-paneled wall.

Each system is built by hand in Linn’s Glasgow factory and bears the name of the engineer who made it. It's built with precision and pride, designed for the future and engineered to extraordinarily tight tolerances. Every product is rigorously tested before it leaves our factory in order to ensure that it delivers outstanding performance.

Information lost at the source is lost forever. No matter how good the amplifiers or loudspeakers that follow, you can't get back what has already been lost, so it’s essential you put the best source possible at the front of your system.

From the outset, Linn championed direct A/B demonstrations, to enable fair and objective comparison of hi-fi components, and to set forth our assertion that technical specifications bear little relevance to musical enjoyment – and that one should ‘just listen’, trusting in tapping feet, smiling faces and nodding heads instead.
