TURNTABLES For best results a turntable should be placed on a small, light, rigid
table or alternatively wall mounted on a light, rigid shelf.
POWER SUPPLIES Take care not to position too close to signal leads, turntable or
pre-amplifier.
AMPLIFIERS Pre and power amplifiers may create hum if positioned too close
together. Experiment by moving the components when the system is on but not playing
music. It is best to turn the volume down whilst actually moving the components.
LOUDSPEAKERS Loudspeakers should be positioned according to manufacturers'
instructions. They should be mounted on rigid stands, and not subject to any rocking
movement. All Linn speakers except NEXUS and HELIX are designed to be placed
close to the wall.
CLEAN CONTACTS It is important that the electrical contacts in a hi-fi system are
kept clean and mechanically sound. Unplugging and re-plugging all the connectors
occasionally will effectively clean contacts.
WARNING
This should be carried out after the mains supply has been switched off.
INTERCONNECT LEADS Correct cables should be used. We recommend good
quality copper cable for interconnect leads and advise 4mm
2
multicore copper cable,
such as Linn K20, for speaker leads.
Your Linn dealer can supply high quality interconnects for linking all your hi-fi
components.
