Linn Hi-Fi | Authorised Linn Dealer Norwich | Martins Hi-Fi

There is a version of hi-fi where the source is everything. Linn have argued that case since the LP12 Sondek arrived in 1972 — and built their entire product range around it. The logic holds: no amplifier, however capable, can recover information the source has already discarded. Get the source right, and everything downstream has something worth working with.

Martins Hi-Fi has stocked Linn since 1968 and knows the range in depth. We sell, demonstrate and service the full Linn catalogue — from entry-level streaming to the Klimax flagship system — and we upgrade and service LP12s in-house.

The LP12 Sondek

The LP12 has been in continuous production for over fifty years and is still being developed. It is not nostalgia — it is one of the most seriously engineered turntables available. We sell the full LP12 range and supply and fit every upgrade on the official Linn pathway: Karousel bearing, Lingo and Radikal power supplies, Keel sub-chassis, Urika phono stage, and more. If you own an LP12 and want to improve it, bring it in.

Linn Streaming & DSM Systems

The DSM range is Linn's answer to what a modern source component should be: streamer, DAC, preamplifier and room correction in a single, beautifully engineered box. The Klimax DSM houses Linn's Organik DAC — designed and manufactured entirely in Glasgow — and supports Linn Space Optimisation for room-corrected sound tailored precisely to your listening space. The Selekt DSM offers a modular architecture that grows with your system. All are available to audition in Norwich.

Amplification & Speakers

Linn amplification spans the Majik, Akurate and Klimax ranges in integrated and separate pre/power configurations. The Linn 360 is a self-powered, space-optimised loudspeaker built to work directly within the DSM ecosystem — a genuinely complete active system from a single manufacturer, with every component designed to work together.

Cartridges & Tonearms

We carry the full Linn cartridge range — Krystal, Kandid and Ekstatik — alongside the Arko and Ekos SE tonearms, all demonstrable on a reference LP12 in our listening room. The right cartridge and tonearm pairing makes a profound difference to what an LP12 can achieve, and our team will guide you through every option.

The only way to understand what Linn does is to hear it. Martins Hi-Fi has been in Norwich since 1968. Elizabeth Gould runs the business today, and we stock only brands we have heard properly and stand behind.
