Linn Upgrades Moving on is an important part of life. If we all remained within the boundaries of our comfort zones life would be rather boring. Therefore, Linn are always improving and developing our beloved systems, with their new technologies. At Rococo Systems we have over 25 years’ experience of working with Linn products, the knowledge we have developed over the years has given us the ability to advise you with what is the best way forward when it comes to upgrading your Linn system to the latest specifications. We are driven to continuously improve your system and wherever possible do the upgrades at Rococo. Occasionally, depending on the age of your equipment may need to be returned to the Linn factory, again we can organise this. Please continue to read below to learn more about some of the upgrades we can offer to our customers. Exaktbox – The Ultimate Upgrade Linn’s integrated speakers contain their own amps and Exact technology built in, but with an exaktbox combined with another amplification you can upgrade to Exakt while keeping your current speakers. Exakt was developed to increase the realistic performance of your system. When you listen to your favourite artists on a Linn Exakt it is like listening to the real musicians right in front of you. The system offers the most natural sound, but it all depends on the timings. The technologies of today have allowed Linn to create something so developed that we can ensure there will be the perfect time alignment of every note from all your favourite tracks so you can enjoy the same original sound as if you were live at your favourite bands concert. In technical terms the Exakt system delays higher frequencies to make sure they line up with the lower frequencies. When the music reaches your ear the pitch of each note and the harmonics it offers all arrive perfectly in time, preserving the character of each instrument. If you have recently done an Aktiv upgrade, the Exaktbox takes the position of the Aktiv cards or tunebox. If you have passive speakers just add an Exaktbox with additional channels of amplification to operate all the channels in your speakers independently.
