Linn Linto MC Direct-Coupled Phono Preamp
Linn Linto (MC) Direct Coupled Precision Phono Preamplifier. The ultimate source component for those who have and cherish a vinyl record collection. Launched to mark and celebrate the Silver Anniversary of the Linn Sondek LP12 Transcription turntable. Very good condition cosmetically. Functionally perfect. High gain with loading at 120 Ohms makes it a great match with most low-output moving coil cartridges.
Consignment item, no sales tax.
"The Linto had a very clean and silky presentation of everything fed thru it. It may sound quite different with a different cartridge, arm and table, but I found it tops in most of the parameters of high quality reproduction. The direct-coupled approach did seem to involve the listener more directly in the music in the grooves. It did tend to subtly minimize gross inadequacies in some LPs, such as overly strident strings. If you own a preamp or receiver lacking a phono input and want to get the most out of your vinyl sources, the Linto is certainly a candidate for your serious consideration. If you have a Linn table already you may find the synergistic combination of the two units has even more sonic advantages than when used with other vinyl spinners." - John Sunier, Enjoy The Music
