Speaker Cables - Linn

Upgrading "bell wire" or cheaper cable to a higher quality speaker cable is one of the most effective upgrades you can make to your hi-fi system and will get a much better sound from your investment in speakers. We recommend you spend at least 10% of speaker value on a good quality speaker cable. We also sell a range of custom install speaker cables.
As well as good speaker cables, we highly recommend using bookshelf speakers with good speaker stands and for floorstanding speakers, we sell a range of floor isolators and spike protectors for wooden floors.

Most speaker cables are supplied "per metre" and is essentially cut off the reel, so we recommend you measure up and work out how much you need for each speaker (adding on slightly more for bends and for any possibility you move the speakers), and order the total number of metres required. When your cable arrives, it's simply a case of cutting it to length, stripping the ends and connecting your speakers to the speaker outputs on your hi-fi amplifier/music system. We always also recommend terminating your speaker cables with banana plugs or spade connectors (you can do this yourself or take advantage of our professional speaker cable termination service).

What improvements can you expect from using higher quality speaker cable? Better top end clarity, smoother midrange and stronger more tuneful bass. Not sure which cable to choose?

Founded in 1973, Linn all began with one very special product - Linn's debut - that turns heads and ears to this very day: the Linn Sondek LP12 turntable. A product so perfect, very little has changed about it in over 40 years. Linn have carried the same principles and methods of design and manufacture with them throughout, and their products are produced to the same high standards as the turntable that still outsells its competitors.

Linn now produce a range of power amplifiers, digital network streamers and loudspeakers all categorised in to entry level Majik and Selekt, mid-level Akurate or flagship Klimax series to suit your budget and personal taste. The range also includes digital crossovers and power supplies and in-wall or in-ceiling speakers.

Founder Ivor Tiefenbrun was unsatisfied with the performance of a hi-fi system that he had purchased in Glasgow in the very early 70s. Upon experimenting, he came to the conclusion that the sound produced by the turntable was being affected by sound pressure variations within the loudspeakers.

He worked as an engineer for his father at the time, and with his help alongside a few of their colleagues, they crafted a precision engineered LP record playing turntable that was immune to acoustic feedback from loudspeakers. This was the Linn Sondek LP12, and with it was born the now widely accepted 'source-first' notion.

The 'source-first' notion was a challenge to the conventional wisdom of the day, which held that the loudspeaker was the most important part of the hi-fi system, rather than the individual components making up the system. Fast forward to the present day and Linn are still masters of source-first.

To this end, they now produce and manufacture their own music under the record company aptly named 'Linn Records'! They understand that good music is the key to good hi-fi and carry this to the core, with hi-fi designed to deliver the best quality music the very best possible way.
