quote: it's intended to be part of a top-end Linn system This is really great.... You buy an insanely expensive player, and it's so incredibly inflexible that you are forced to use it with the rest of the similarly priced Linn Klimax range
This really provides nice choices to the consumers So how do you go about if Linn introduces a $35.000 DSP based room correction that may be added to the DS, you don't have a choice. With a transporter or another player with a sound architecture you have all the choices in the world. I am scared if a high-end niche player says jump, and many of us follow them and jump. I refer to what a high-end dealer in Norway told me: We sell a lot of high-end products with extremely flashy looks, you may do way better if you buy something cheaper but it won't look as good, that's why we're providing alternative casings to some of the cheaper products. We have customers that want something that sounds good but looks much better. That's not my words, but a high-end dealer words.... I'm not missing any points. I'm just advising against blindly following the advice of reviewers and high-end "pushers". Paying $15000 for looks and $5000 for performance is fine, just don't expect it to provide high performance per bucks.
