Not much love for Linn around here. When I had my Linn, I found it was amazingly sensitive to the platform it sat on. I was using a Target wallshelf and the installer was amazed at the improvement in sound using a Neuance platform as opposed to the standard wood. If you don't know, Neuance was sort of a hollow, rigid box, sort of like a surfboard in construction. I also liked a Corian platform much better than the wood. But you need to experiment to see which material you like best. I now use a Basis, which is also suspended, but is much less affected by the shelving.
