Linn Klimax LP12 Event – 27th November

On 27th November we will be joined by Paul Carlin from Linn who will be explaining the technology behind Linn’s latest developments to the LP12, including the new Keel SE, Klimax Radikal and the Bedrok plinth. You will be able to compare turntables fitted with these upgrades to a top-spec LP12 from five years ago so you can hear for yourself how much better the latest and greatest Klimax LP12 sounds.

The event will take place on Thursday 27th November at our showroom at The Old Court House, London Road, Ascot, SL5 7EN. There will be three sessions: 3pm, 5pm and 7pm.

You can book your free tickets on the Linn website (link opens in new tab): https://www.linn.co.uk/events/66107d56-1325-467b-ab36-907288848370

Free Naim Super Lumina cables

Christmas has come early at Hidden Systems. Buy any two components from the Naim 200 Series or any one component from the Naim 300 series and receive either a free Naim Super Lumina interconnect, or a 3 metre stereo pair of Super Lumina speaker cables.

Super Lumina was developed when Naim engineers decided that they needed to design a new range of high-performance cables to achieve the full potential of their flagship Statement amplifiers. Using their knowledge of material science and following thousands of hours of testing and listening, the Super Lumina range was born. As well as optimising the performance of Statement, Super Lumina also improves the performance of the 500 Series and Classic Series systems.

The Super Lumina range is designed to reduce external and internal interference and maintain maximum signal fidelity. The cable features multiple silver plated copper conductors of various diameters which are enclosed in a tin-plated copper shield.

Each Super Lumina cable is hand assembled by Naim’s highly skilled engineers in Salisbuty to your specification, before being put through a proprietary process that relieves the materials of the inherent stresses resulting from the manufacturing process.

Please note that this promotion covers speaker cables up to one 3m stereo pair, or interconnects of 1m. Longer cables are available for an additional charge. Promotion applies to all orders prior to 31 December 2024.

Linn News: Organik DAC Architecture upgrade rolled out across existing Klimax range

The wait is finally over! The sublime performance of Organik DAC – first debuted last year in next-generation Klimax DSM – is now available as a retrofit upgrade across the established Klimax range.

Organik forms the beating heart of new Klimax DSM – the ultimate streamer – and is largely responsible for its rave reviews, magazine front covers across the globe, and five Product of the Year awards (so far). 

We are pleased to announce that, from today, the Organik upgrade is available for all variants of Klimax DS and DSM – even those from as far back as 2007. 

Linn have set the new Organik upgrade to a flat rate of £5400.00, which covers all Klimax DS, DSM and Exaktbox products they have ever produced*

The benefits are two-fold. Through choosing to upgrade your Klimax DS or DSM with Organik, you will be bringing your cherished streamer up to the current, next-gen Linn standard; meaning you’ll be unlocking DSD256 and 24-bit/384kHz streaming capability! 

This is the latest addition to the list of products which can benefit from Linn’s groundbreaking, entirely homegrown DAC technology; joining Klimax Exaktbox and Klimax 350 integrated loudspeakers in the lineup. 

You’ll already be aware that, at Linn, nothing progresses beyond the prototype stage if it can’t conclusively answer one simple question positively: is this better than what’s available elsewhere? Designing and building their own DAC, from first principles, was no exception. It was only worth doing if the result would be significantly better than Linn’s previous designs utilising 3rd-party chips. 

With this novel DAC architecture, implementation, and realisation, they have finally completed the puzzle; Linn has achieved complete control over the entire signal chain – an ambition fifty years in the making. 

How does it sound? That’s not for us to say. Rest assured though, Linn doesn’t do anything unless they can do it better than what’s available elsewhere… 

Book your 1:1 appointment with us to hear the difference for yourself! 

 

Klimax DS/0, DS/1, DSM/0 and any Klimax DS to DSM conversions can still have the latest Organik upgrade but they must be sent off to the Linn factory and cannot be done in-store or in your home, however, this will incur no extra charge*
