Linn Upgrades

If you check out the Naim forum or the pink fish media site, there has been great speculation (and even pictures) of the Keel, the new one-piece integrated subchassis/armboard assembley, fabricated of cast aluminum/titanium. Of course, there's also the upgraded Ekos, the Ekos SE, with a titanium armwand. The Keel is reputed to retail for around $3000 - silly expensive to keep the old codger in the same ballpark with the big boys (IMHO). Happy listening,

There's some photos in the Vinyl Engine as well...

My local dealer said the sub chassis will be milled billet aluminum and the Ekos as mentioned above. Take a look at the new sterephile. Dudly is looking at some non-linn upgrades.

Thanks Palasar. I checked out the sites you refer to. I found out that the projected price for the Keel is $5,400 and for the Ekos SE is $7,600. I thought that Linn prices were high before, but this is ridiculous.

keel is£3000 and ekos se is £3950
