LINN LINTO NOISE

All phono stages should have a readily accessible mute switch which should be used whenever manipulating the tonearm. If you have a mute switch on your preamp, that can be used in stead but, every system that plays records needs that mute switch. 

It sounds to me that the Lingo does not have a relay on it's output and the OP is just hearing the power supply run down. If there is no noise in normal operation i is not a problem at all.

Luigi only wants to know whether other owners of the Linto have had a similar experience to his. Since my dear mom often used to call me Luigi, I am empathetic.

Personally, I’m a belt and suspenders kind of guy. I mute the preamp and then I always shut down amplifiers before preamplifier.

While I agree that the preamp should be muted, the Linto manual states that the output is well “de-thumped” (an unusual term by a manufacturer) so there should be no issues turning it on or off.  Whether this means total silence or just nothing horrific I don’t know. Mine is out for service right now. It is over 2o years old and I happen to like it, but good luck getting someone to work on it. 

very thanks for your answer .....but I'm incredulous but how many linto have been sold ? I think thousands ..... has anyone ever turned off the linto before and heard a small buum in the speakers?  has anyone ever turned off the linto before and heard a small buum in the speakers?  please try .... thanks luigi

Accept the mystery.
