A Preamplifier or Home Theater Processor may not appear to do much more than switch input signals and provide volume control and with line-level sources that's basically true. (With phono sources, a preamplifier can provide far more gain than the amplifier.) They may not seem to be important but preamps/processors make a significant sonic contribution and, because they work with tiny signal levels that will later be amplified many times over, the sonic character that preamps impart to the signal will be a major factor in the overall sound of the system. The preamplification you purchase is an important choice and we invite you to call for our insight. Let us help you select from the many brands we offer; you're sure to find one to match your taste and budget.

At that time, loudspeakers were considered the most important component within a hi-fi system. Linn contended that the source component, in this case the turntable, ultimately determined the performance of the hi-fi system, a fact which was easily proven by a simple A-B demonstration. Linn's 'source-first' approach is now a widely adopted industry standard. Three decades later, Linn's product range has grown substantially from that original SONDEK LP12 turntable.
