I missed last year's show, but in 06, the Linn demo (normally something I make a beeline for) was distinctly below par... Was this the reason for them not being there this year?

Not sure. I really like Linn stuff, though I find that some of their newer equipment can sound a bit too civilised.

I'd like to see a budget version of the old Keltiks, something with a bit more ooomph!

Linn edited by mods, their products are at least as good as anything else (£ per £). 

CD12 still one of the best digital sound I have ever heard.

TM: post edited - you really can't make statements like that without some evidence

JD: your post deleted, as it referenced the edited point

Where have you been sir?  That was a common knowledge in HiFi ring and I thought you should be pretty sharp on the news. 

Did I made it up?   No, I wouldn't do that.  LINK IS HERE

Old story - doesn't justify your present statement.

I'm just saying that happened last year - all may be fine now.
