Linn DS – When Quality is All that Matters

If you want to simplify your sound entertainment and experience your favourite music as the producers and artists intended it to sound, you need a Linn DS player in your home. Whether you’re seeking an upgrade to your existing sound system or want to build your own system from the ground up, we can help you find the perfect product. We have 30 years’ experience as a Linn dealer and are one of the largest and most knowledgeable Linn audio specialists in the UK and Europe. As well as knowing the brand inside and out, we can also provide you with a personal demonstration of all four DS players in either our London or Essex store. So, you can be confident that we’ll help you decide on the right model should you wish to make a purchase. DS stands for Digital Stream, and these highly desirable players are ideal for people who refuse to compromise on sound quality. Whether you’re into movie soundtracks, classical symphonies or the latest chart-toppers, you’ll quickly discover that the Linn DS family loves them too. Simply connect your system of choice to your home network, then enjoy all your favourite downloads, CDs, and vinyl records in stunning studio-quality. Which Linn DS Player is Right for Me? There are currently four players in the DS family which, in ascending order of cost are: Sneaky; Majik; Akurate, and Klimax. Please note that the prices quoted are for the system only and do not include the cost of speakers. We also stock an extensive range of complimentary speakers for the Majik, Akurate, and Klimax models. The Sneaky system, however, is compatible with any speaker that uses standard speaker connection terminals. Sneaky The only thing that’s underhand about Sneaky is its capacity to blow away more expensive players with its highly competitive price tag. It offers exceptional sound quality, is wonderfully flexible (you can set it up horizontally or vertically) and can even be used as a compact Hi-Fi system. Majik Linn’s Majik player will have you spellbound with its bevy of state-of-the-art features. You can control it via software on your PC or handheld device, turn up the volume with the powerful 90-watt-per-channel amplifier, and enjoy a variety of music formats in studio sound quality including MP3’s and WAV files. Akurate Akurate is an easy-to-use streamer that’s also a pro when it comes to Internet radio. It supports all popular digital music types and boasts an ultra-low jitter master clock for a faultless, distortion-free performance. Klimax Klimax sits at the very top of the DS range and when you experience its capabilities, the results really will be music to your ears. It’s the first Hi-Fi system to stream digital music over a standard home network. So, if you want to be part of the future of music, this product’s the one for you. Visit Rococo Systems in London or Essex to buy your Linn DS Today! You can take a closer look at the Linn DS range on our website or, better still, come on down to see it in person at our Essex or London store. We also accept trade-ins against new systems, although only high-end Hi-Fi equipment will be considered, so please call us first to discuss. Rococo Systems won’t be beaten on price or service. Plus, our personal attention and 30 years’ experience make us the number one choice for Linn purchasers. Break free of clutter and simplify your digital sounds with Linn DS players today!

Book a Linn Series 5 System Demonstration

If you missed our recent mailer inviting you to meet the dazzling Linn Series 5 System, don’t panic. You can still experience the outstanding sound quality and design of the Linn Series 5 System by booking a free, personal demonstration at either our London or Essex store now. The ultimate in sound and style, where both go hand in hand with the new Linn Series 5 System There are so many things that make the Linn Series 5 System THE sound system to take pride of place in your home. Its main selling point is Linn’s combination of high-end sound and customisable design. This means you no longer have to struggle to blend in ugly or bulky speakers with your sitting room colour scheme. Instead, you’ll want these top-of-the-range speakers to take centre stage as you can customise their look to ensure they perfectly complement your home. When you book your personal demonstration at either our Essex or London office, we’ll prove to you just how incredible the 520 and 530 series look and sound. Inside one of our dedicated Linn Suites, one of our experts will demonstrate the two sound systems to their full abilities. They’ll also be able to advise you on which of the two systems best suits your needs and, of course, they can talk you through the various design options available. 520 or 530? The 520 series features slightly smaller speakers than the 530 (224x892x218mm as opposed to 233x954x325mm). It’s also a fraction cheaper than its bigger sibling. Both systems feature a pair of active floor-standing speakers and an Akurate Exakt DSM hub. The 520 is a two-way system with a twenty-litre cabinet while the 530 is a three-way speaker system with a thirty-litre cabinet. The Akurate Exakt DSM allows you to stream digital music from any networked source and also includes turntable connections, as well as thirteen digital and analogue inputs. The Sound Linn’s groundbreaking use of Exakt technology means even the tiniest variation between drive units is automatically corrected to ensure a faultless performance. The Space Optimisation software builds an acoustic model of your listening environment and removes any unwanted distorting effects. The Look The unique fabric of the 5 Series means that you can create a system that looks just as good as it sounds. Linn Fabrik doesn’t compromise on sound quality; instead, it works alongside the Exakt technology to deliver a truly breathtaking performance every single time. Currently, there are ten fabric designs to choose from. There are five colour choices in the Linn Fabrik Collection, all of which are made from 100% Shetland wool, and five options in the Harris Tweed Hebrides range. Plus, the Timorous Beasties Collection will be available from 2016. You can also choose your own top plate and stand colours. Should you fancy a change further down the line, you’ll find that you can easily give your 5 Series a makeover as all Fabrik covers, tops and stands are available to purchase separately. Book your personal Linn Series 5 System Demo in Essex or London today! We can’t wait to introduce you to the 520 and 530 series. So, get in touch with our Essex office on 01277 890 888 or our London office on 020 7454 1234 today and book your personal demonstration with one of our Linn experts. Don’t forget, you’re also invited to bring along any paint, fabric or flooring samples so that we can help you find the perfect match for your room.

Linn launches Series 5 speaker systems for the fashion conscious

Linn launches Series 5 speaker systems for the fashion conscious 10th September 2015 by Ced Yuen What Hi Fi   Big, ugly speakers may become a thing of the past, if Linn has its way. Linn has unveiled two new integrated Exakt systems with an emphasis on customisable looks: the Linn 530 and Linn 520. Each system comprises a Linn Akurate Exakt DSM hub and a pair of active floorstanders. The 530 are three-way speakers with 100W amplification per channel, Exakt electronics and an Isobarik bass system, all crammed into a 30-litre cabinet. Same deal with the 520s, only those are two-way speakers with a 20-litre cabinet. The speakers have jewel-cut glass stands and top plates in a choice of three finishes – grey, white or black. The customisation goes further: the speakers have removable ‘Linn Fabrik’ textile coverings. There are three types of Fabrik in eleven colours, chosen for acoustic as well as aesthetic reasons. One-off customer designs will be available in the future, but for now Linn has partnered with fabric designers such as Harris Tweed. Finally you have speakers to go with your pipe and whiskey. Worried about the acoustics? The Fabrik is secured to prevent it from vibrating, while acoustic resistance and frequency-dependent absorption is compensated by Exakt software. Then there’s Linn’s Space Optimisation+ software, designed to remove a room’s unwanted distortions. The Linn Series 5 is a new direction for the company, as Linn managing director Gilad Tiefenbrun explains: “It’s for those who seek simplicity, who just want high performance in a simple package. It’s still hi-fi, but what matters to some is the number of boxes, the intrusion into living space, the ease of use for the family – these have become bigger considerations. It’s not that Linn has a different view on what hi-fi is, it’s that customers have a different view. “People’s needs are changing. The biggest change that we’ve seen is that it’s no longer just a man who comes into a hi-fi shop saying, ‘I’ll take the biggest speakers you’ve got’. It’s a couple that shops together. The home has become something that is governed by all the members of the household. I don’t like this ‘wife acceptance factor’ idea. “As tastes become more sophisticated, as buying habits become more sophisticated, personalisation has become a much larger factor. We want to use the latest technology to make a hi-fi proposition that anyone who loves music can aspire to, that is compact, and in a customisable aesthetic that will meet the needs of the whole household.” For more information on these new systems contact Rococo Systems on 01277890888 or 02074541234
