Source First

The more musical information you retrieve from the source, the better the sound. Simply adding a Linn source to your system will make it sound better. 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. Putting a Linn source at the heart will improve the sound of any system. The ideal first step is a Linn DSM network music player, capable of streaming music in the highest quality and optimising your system for your room and speaker placement, no matter what speakers you currently own. For vinyl lovers, the LP12 is still the pinnacle of record player design. With performance unmatched for over four decades, it’s a revolutionary icon that’s still evolving. Plus with its modular, upgradeable design, every LP12 from 1973 onwards can be fully upgraded to the very latest specification. From there, the possibilities are endless. Contact us today for more information regarding Linn Sources.

Linn introduces 4th generation DAC architecture to deliver the ultimate music source

Scottish innovators break the boundaries of audio performance once more 2007 saw the launch of the Linn Klimax DS, the first truly high-end network music player, developed with the single aim of providing the best possible musical performance from digital audio. Every aspect of its design was carefully drawn from first principles in order to optimise performance, from the class-leading electronics inside to the clamshell enclosure, machined from a solid billet of aluminium. For the first time, it was possible to hear original 24-bit Studio Master music downloads, pioneered by Linn Records, in unprecedented clarity, in your own home. Through the intervening years, Klimax DS has remained the best digital source available, benefitting from Linn’s continual pursuit of excellence in the form of multiple software and hardware upgrades, bringing original customers on the journey to current specification. Katalyst DAC Architecture Today sees the launch of the all-new Klimax DS, its performance enhanced substantially by Linn’s 4th generation in-house digital-to-analogue conversion technology: Katalyst DAC Architecture. Katalyst takes an unprecedented level of control over the critical elements that lie at the heart of the analogue signal’s creation, to deliver the most accurate reproduction ever from a digital source. Five key aspects have been improved utilising Linn’s deep understanding of the entire digital-to-analogue process, including: Reference Level Now completely isolated from noise to produce a high-stability input Reference Level that generates the signal’s amplitude without variation. Independent Power Supplies Independent, isolated power supplies are tailored for each process, so feedback from one process cannot influence the performance of another, resulting in far lower distortion. Data Optimisation Linn-designed data optimisation stage that prepares the digital signal for conversion with greater accuracy, minimising errors right at the start of the process. Master Clock A single high precision clock with its own independent power supply ensures greater timing accuracy throughout. Output Driver The new ultra-low distortion analogue output driver prepares the delicate analogue signal for transmission out of the device, making it less susceptible to noise and degradation. Products and Pricing The new Klimax DS and Klimax DSM featuring Katalyst DAC Architecture are available today in silver or black anodised finishes, with upgrades available for current owners. Klimax DS – £15,800Klimax DSM – £18,900Klimax DS upgrade – £3,850Klimax DSM upgrade – £4,200 HDMI 2.0 – now built in to Linn DSM All Linn DSMs from the Majik, Akurate and Klimax ranges (including Exakt DSMs) will now ship with the latest HDMI 2.0 support, enabling UHD (4K) and HDR video pass-through, as well as compatibility with HDCP 2.2 encryption, ARC (audio return channel) and CEC (consumer electronics control). HDMI 2.0 is also available as an upgrade for existing owners, priced at £600.

Linn-Sekrit-DSM-Rococo-Systems

Linn Sekrit DSM – Designed to be Heard not Seen

Back in February 2016, we showcased four of the five music players in the Linn DSM range. After looking in close detail at the outstanding streaming capacity of the Klimax DSM, the sleek and stunning Akurate DSM system, the budget-friendly yet powerful Sneaky DSM, and the premium music and movie experience provided by the Magik DSM, it’s now time to take a look at Linn’s final offering in the range – the Sekrit DSM. The Sekrit DSM – slim and powerful with superior sound quality Everything you’ve come to expect from Linn DSM products is incorporated in the Linn Sekrit DSM. It includes a DSM player, a 50-watt cool-running Class D stereo power amp, and an integrated pre-amp, all of which are housed within a compact, simple package. Because it hides its powerful features so well, it easily blends in with its surroundings rather than steals the limelight. In a nutshell, Sekrit gives you everything you need to make all of your home entertainment sources sound better than ever before. The system has six digital and analogue inputs, including three HDMI connections and speaker connections for two zones, and enables you to play movies, music, radio, TV, games, and online sources such as Spotify, YouTube, and Netflix. Plus, it also supports AirPlay. You can even install your system alongside any Linn DS player on your home network, and by taking advantage of Linn’s Songcast software, you can choose to play the same music, radio, TV channel, DVD or Blu-Ray in both rooms or something different everywhere. Linn DS Multi-Room Linn DS Multi-Room allows you to adapt your music system as your needs (or home) change. This means you can upgrade your system’s performance and add extra rooms as necessary without having to start from scratch. The Sekrit DSM works particularly well with Sekrit IW10 In-Wall Loudspeakers, which deliver exceptional audio performance, and are perfect for rooms where you want the sole focus to be the sound around you. Sekrit IW10 In-Wall Loudspeakers can be mounted vertically or horizontally, and are designed to be installed flush to the wall. The grilles can also be painted to match or complement the décor of any room. Space Optimisation Linn’s Space Optimisation technology comes as standard with the Sekrit DSM, which means that the individual characteristics of the room and the objects within it won’t adversely affect the sound quality. Space Optimisation allows the DSM system to create a virtual picture of the room’s layout and consequently reduce any frequencies that can cause artificial distortion. The result? A super-smooth and pitch-perfect audio performance. Request a demonstration in London or Essex Rococo Systems has two UK stores – one in Ongar, Essex and the other in Danbury Street in North London. If you live in either London or Essex or are planning to visit the area and would like a personal demonstration of the Sekrit DSM by one of our in-house Linn experts in our purpose-built Linn Lounges, request a demo online today or give us a call on 020 7454 1234 (London) or 01277 890 888 (Essex).

Linn-Krystal-Cartridges-Rococo-Systems

Enjoy Crystal-Clear Sound Quality with Linn Krystal Cartridges

Top-quality audio products take time to produce, as do the best pieces of music. So, it’s only natural that it took the world’s leading hi-fi and audio manufacturer, Linn, two years to develop its groundbreaking Krystal moving coil cartridge. Hear every musical detail with Linn Krystal Cartridges For more than thirty years, the Linn Sondek LP12 has been the turntable of choice of vinyl Audiophile fans. Here at Rococo Systems, we’ve been selling Linn’s hi-fi systems for almost as long, and the LP12 is still one of the most popular turntables among our customers in London and Essex. Thanks to our vast experience and knowledge of Linn products, we are able to upgrade, service or repair any LP12 turntable regardless of its age. And, as most turntable owners know very well, one of the simplest ways to give your system a new lease of life is to replace or upgrade its cartridge. When it comes to the quality of audio playback, your choice of cartridge is just as vital as the turntable, amp, and loudspeakers that you play your music through. Traditionally, cartridges fall into two different categories – Moving Coil (MC) and Moving Magnet (MM). Moving Coil is a more recent invention, but not all MC cartridges deliver superior sound quality. This is because cheap or inferior cartridges simply can’t compete with the power and design of the Linn Krystal cartridge. Rococo Systems sell a number of Linn’s MM and MC turntable cartridges, including Adikt, Kandid, and Klyde, and the Krystal has just been added to our range. Kandid versus Krystal Kandid is known as being one of the best-sounding turntable cartridges Linn’s ever made. So, it’s no surprise that Linn has taken the core design principles of the Kandid moving coil cartridge to create the Krystal MC. This means that just like the Kandid, Krystal captures every tiny change in the record groove, allowing you to hear every musical detail. Krystal’s nude design results in less inertia, allowing it to react more quickly to the changes in the record groove. It also boasts a triple-point mounting system that allows for a firm connection to the tonearm headshell, an aircraft-grade 7075 aluminium chassis to provide the generator with a stable yet lightweight platform, and is constructed using special adhesive that minimises any dampening effects. You can experience Krystal’s pure, clean, and perfect sound by purchasing it as part of an Akurate LP12 turntable or specifying it on your order when you buy a Majik or Sondek LP12 turntable. And, should you need any further convincing of how Krystal can transport your turntable to hi-fi heaven, we’d be more than happy to treat you to a free-of-charge demonstration in one of our purpose-built Linn lounges in our London or Essex store. Simply visit our Book a Demo page to make an appointment or give our experts a call on 020 7454 1234 (London) or 01277 890 888 (Essex) today. We also stock a vast range of Linn’s turntable accessories, including cartridges, sub chassis and base boards, tonearms, power supplies, drive belts, hinges, felt mats, and 45 RPM adapters, which you can buy online or in-store.

Linn Klimax DSM

Linn Klimax DSM – Outstanding Streaming with a Pre-Amp

Today, we’ve got a trivia question for you. What have the Majik, Akurate, Klimax, Sneaky, and Sekrit all got in common? Answer – they’re all products from the Linn DSM range which, if you’ve been following our blog closely, you’ll know we’ve been featuring throughout February 2016. Today, we’re highlighting the advantages of owning a Linn Klimax DSM player, which integrates the outstanding streaming performance of the Klimax DS with a digital and analogue pre-amp. Enjoy a magical streaming experience with the Linn Klimax DSM While Linn’s Klimax DS offers a world-class streaming performance over a home network as the top player in the DS range, the Linn Klimax DSM goes one better by boasting a digital and analogue pre-amp. This allows you to connect it to any power amp or Aktiv speaker, as well as hook it up to any video or audio player. With this sensational system in your home, you’ll be able to enjoy streaming the highest-quality 24-bit 192 kHz Studio Master music files, and experience superior sounds while you play games, watch TV or movies, and listen to internet radio. Any digital source you choose to connect to your Linn Klimax DSM will benefit from Linn’s best upsampling and DAC technology. It’s also the kind of system you’ll be proud to display in your home as it looks just as good as the sounds it helps to create. You can order it in either anodised silver or black, and Rococo Systems can help you match it with complementary loudspeakers. All you need to get started is a standard Ethernet network and speakers. However, if you want to make the ultimate digital music system, you may wish to take advantage of the Klimax’s Exakt Link connections, which allow you to optimise your speakers by eliminating the distortion that can be caused by a traditional crossover design. Space Optimisation Linn’s design team knows that every home is different. So, whether you live in a three-storey townhouse with high ceilings and large windows or a listed building full of character and thick walls, you can still get the very best out of your DSM thanks to Space Optimisation technology. This is a type of technology that’s only offered by Linn, and it builds an acoustic model of your room, based on your speakers, their positioning, and the unique characteristics of your listening environment. This enables the DSM to understand how your speakers interact with your room and optimise the sound as a result. Speakers Rococo Systems stocks 350A and 350P speakers, which are designed to perfectly complement the Linn Klimax DSM. Both of these loudspeakers are uncompromising in every aspect and provide the perfect playback solution for the highest quality source components. Book your free demonstration in London or Essex We can’t think of a better way to show you how superb the Linn Klimax DSM is than by offering you a free demonstration of the system at our London or Essex store.

Linn Akurate DSM Player

Linn Akurate DSM – Rediscover your Passion for Music

This month, we’re looking at why Linn’s DSM players are some of the most popular network music players in the world. Today – it’s the turn of the Linn Akurate DSM – a sleek and stunning system that takes your audio experience to a whole new level. Introducing the Linn Akurate DSM The Linn Akurate DSM is a network music player that features an integrated pre-amp, as well as inputs for both analogue and digital sources. It includes Linn’s  Space Optimisation technology to deliver a superior listening experience, and can easily handle a variety of audio formats, including FLAC, WAV, MP3, WMA, AIFF, AAC, OGG, and Apple Lossless. The main difference between this player and the Akurate DS is that it includes fourteen digital and analogue inputs that make it possible to connect it to a number of external sources such as Blu-Ray players, satellite TVs, DVD players, games consoles, and digital TVs. You can also go hands-free by hooking it up to your tablet, smartphone, desktop or laptop to browse your music selection and listen to your favourite tunes, albums, internet radio stations, and podcasts in exceptional detail. Of course, a superior music performance isn’t all this top-quality system offers. It also brings TV, movies, and games to life. So, if you want to get the best possible all-round performance from your flat-screen TV, the decision to pair it with the Linn Akurate DSM is one you’ll thank yourself for making for years to come. Making future system upgrades couldn’t be easier as this highly coveted player comes with Linn Exakt Link connections. Exact technology allows the lossless digital signal path to be extended further than ever before, thus eliminating sources of distortion and noise when the digital signal hits your speakers. Space Optimisation As we mentioned earlier, this superior DSM player features built-in Space Optimisation – a technology created by Linn that allows you to optimise the interaction between your speakers and your listening environment. This means that factors such as wall materials and the size of your windows no longer have to mean a loss in audio quality. Space Optimisation also means you’ll have greater flexibility over where you place your player and your speakers in your chosen room. Speakers To get the very best out of your Linn Akurate DSM, we recommend purchasing Akurate speakers. As a Linn specialist, Rococo Systems can help you decide which of the following models will deliver the ideal performance for your needs: Akubarik, 212, 225, 226 or Akubarik Passive. We also stock high-quality stands to complement your choice of loudspeakers. Book a demonstration The best way to determine if the Linn Akurate DSM network music player is the right system to choose from the DSM range is by booking a free demonstration at Rococo Systems in Essex or London. We are proud to host dedicated Linn Lounges, in which we can set up complete sound systems that allow you to enjoy a superb listening experience while gaining expert advice from the Rococo Systems team.

Linn Sneaky DSM comes to you at a pretty sneaky price point too!

Now that we’ve looked in closer detail at three of the music players in the Linn DSM range, it’s time to inspire you with the benefits offered by the Linn Sneaky DSM. Sneaky has always been one of the most affordable of Linn’s music players (see our blog post on the DS version), but that certainly doesn’t mean it skimps on quality. In fact, its popularity is driven not by its price but by the fact that it’s incredibly adaptable. Plus, it goes one better than its DS cousin by being able to play music, movies, and console games with exceptional sound quality. The Linn Sneaky DSM has several tricks up its sleeve If you’re seeking an all-purpose digital streamer that can be easily accommodated by any room in your home, no matter how small, the Linn Sneaky DSM fits the bill 100%. In fact, it can even bring sterling quality sound to multiple rooms and outdoor spaces, such as patios and gardens, when you expand it using additional amps and speakers. Using its fully integrated pre-amplifier and power amplifier, HDMI, S/PDIF, Toslink, and RCA Phono inputs, the Linn Sneaky DSM can stream a myriad of music formats over your Ethernet network. So, whether you’re looking to relax with your favourite podcasts and internet radio stations or listen to your Spotify playlists with friends, Sneaky’s more than ready to indulge you. You can also connect it to your TV, games console, Sky/Virgin/Freeview box, and Blu-Ray or DVD player to make watching television programmes and movies an experience you’ll never forget. All you need to get started is a pair of speakers, and the Rococo Systems team are happy to advise you over the phone, via email, or in-store at our London or Essex office on what type of loudspeakers will help you get the best out of your player. Space Optimisation Because the Linn Sneaky DSM comes with in-built Space Optimisation technology as standard, its surroundings won’t cause it to lose any of its superb sound quality whatsoever. The player uses Space Optimisation to build a virtual picture of the layout of your room, its contents, and its unique characteristics, allowing it to reduce the frequencies that can be artificially distorted by its surrounding environment. This results in a pitch-perfect, smooth audio performance on every single occasion. Book a demonstration At Rococo Systems, we’re proud to be authorised Linn dealers and experts in our field.
