Linn design and make the best music systems in the world, precision engineered and hand-built with pride in Scotland since 1973.

Linn Products is an engineering company that manufactures hi-fi and audio equipment. Founded by Ivor Tiefenbrun in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1972, the company is best known as the manufacturer of the Linn Sondek LP12 turntable.

In 1992, Linn introduced the Karik, their first-ever digital source product, marking a significant step into the world of digital audio. The Karik CD player, paired with Linn’s first digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the Numerik, was a game-changer for the CD format.
