Streaming Systems - Linn

Streaming systems are ideal If you're building a set up from scratch because they contain an amplifier and streaming functionality in a single box. Stream audio from PC, NAS drive, smart device or online services like Spotify and Tidal. Just add bookshelf or floorstanding speakers. We also sell hi-fi streamers which don't incorporate amplification and can be plugged into your hi-fi amplifier. Alternatively, for streaming system with multi room capabilities, see multi room systems.


Linn is an iconic hi-fi manufacturer. Their current range spans from mid-level Majik systems, through to high-end Akurate and Selekt, to flagship Klimax systems along with the iconic LP12 turntable and a variety of upgrades for enhanced music. For more info on the current range, see our Linn range guide or contact us for advice.

Founded in 1973, Linn all began with one very special product - Linn's debut - that turns heads and ears to this very day: the Linn Sondek LP12 turntable. A product so perfect, very little has changed about it in over 40 years. Linn have carried the same principles and methods of design and manufacture with them throughout, and their products are produced to the same high standards as the turntable that still outsells its competitors.

Linn now produce a range of power amplifiers, digital network streamers and loudspeakers all categorised in to entry level Majik and Selekt, mid-level Akurate or flagship Klimax series to suit your budget and personal taste. The range also includes digital crossovers and power supplies and in-wall or in-ceiling speakers.

Founder Ivor Tiefenbrun was unsatisfied with the performance of a hi-fi system that he had purchased in Glasgow in the very early 70s. Upon experimenting, he came to the conclusion that the sound produced by the turntable was being affected by sound pressure variations within the loudspeakers.

He worked as an engineer for his father at the time, and with his help alongside a few of their colleagues, they crafted a precision engineered LP record playing turntable that was immune to acoustic feedback from loudspeakers. This was the Linn Sondek LP12, and with it was born the now widely accepted 'source-first' notion.

The 'source-first' notion was a challenge to the conventional wisdom of the day, which held that the loudspeaker was the most important part of the hi-fi system, rather than the individual components making up the system. Fast forward to the present day and Linn are still masters of source-first.

To this end, they now produce and manufacture their own music under the record company aptly named 'Linn Records'! They understand that good music is the key to good hi-fi and carry this to the core, with hi-fi designed to deliver the best quality music the very best possible way.

Music streaming has the final word in convenience, it grants listeners access to thousands of global radio stations along with music stored on your computer, network attached storage or from internet radio channels. While top-in-class sound arguably comes from a hi-fi streamer paired with a hi-fi amplifier, however these all-in-one solutions come relatively close at a lower cost.

If the model does not feature CD replay, you can still enjoy your CD collection by adding a separate CD player and your vinyl library by integrating a turntable with a matching phono stage. Many of these streaming systems also include the ability to stream music from a Bluetooth enabled source. If it doesn't, you can add a separate wireless streamer.
