479.0. "Linn Intek as Power or Pre ? " by WELCLU::SUTCLIFFEJ () Wed May 18 1994 11:53

    Hi,
    
    I have a Linn Intek amplifier and I am looking to upgrade probably to a
    pre-power configuration. The question I have is the following. If I buy
    the pre and power seperately can I use the Intek in the interim as a
    pre or power amp only ?
    
    I understand that this may not be ideal, but it may be a pragmatic
    approach to the upgrade. 
    
    Comments ?  
    
    Regards,
    Jonathan

    Jonathan,
    
    	I would expect that the Intek is upgradable in the manor you need.
    I'm pretty sure that the Intel was usable with the Powertek power amp
    (Which looks similar). Your best bet is to try Linn Products on
    0500 888 909.

                                                           ^^^^^

Wow, not only the unit itself, but also the acoustic environment? Linn sure
knows about customer satisfaction ... :-)

    Any views on the Intek?
    
    I've been offered a Intek pre and post amp, around 3 years old for
    �175.
    
    Is it worth having a listen?
    
    cheers,

    Yes: Let your ears be the judge.

    Had a listen, sounded great, and the price seems ok, so I'm gonna get
    it! - well it's already at home ;^)
    
479.6How much weight can it hack?BAHTAT::HILTONBeer...now there's a temporary solutionTue Mar 21 1995 14:1011
    Whats the thinking on stacking hi-fi on top of each other?
    
    On my old klunky Fischer I just lobbed CD, tape, surround amp, tuner on
    top, however this Linn looks less klunky!
    
    In the med/long term I guess I'll buy some proper shelving/stands, but
    in the short term, can I still stack the stuff on top?
    
    Cheers,
