Back in the 1980's, Linn and Naim were bestest buddies. Anyone who was anyone had a system comprising LP12 turntable, Naim amps, and Linn speakers. Then Linn made the fatal mistake of building their own amplifier. Naim went ballistic and responded with the Armageddon power supply for the LP12, quickly followed by the ARO pickup arm and then started making speakers. That's ancient history, and I'd guess that Naim and Linn are probably now on speaking terms (like an old divorced couple). But they are strictly competitors rather than partners. The old customer base which once embraced both brands seems to have split into two factions. Funny how HiFi mirrors religion is so many ways. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46767 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
