New Linn Uphorik and Lingo 3

[ThomasOK]

So, there will be two phono stages offered by Linn now and not three - correct :?:

It depends on how you look at it. Since there are still the phono stages in the Majik-I series and the Akurate Kontrol they actually have four phono stages. I was about to say that you were correct in regard to external phono stages but then the Urika isn't really external either. :) But you can say that there are two phono stages that are not inside a preamp or amp.

So what you're saying, Thomas, is that this is Linn's phono stage for those who aren't that into Linn?

Precisely!

From Linn's Uphorik dealer product info they have recommendations on how to demonstrate the Uphorik. The first on the list?

"Demonstrate within a multi-brand turntable system"

I think that answers the question pretty well. :)

All good points regarding the Linn phono preamplifiers, and I figured you would have the specific details :!:

I now have official US prices on the Uphorik and Lingo 3. The Uphorik is $2850 and includes a set of Black interconnects which does put it well under the Urika at $3500. The Lingo 3 is $1810 - the same price as the Lingo 2 in the US.

Demo products are starting to ship very soon and full production shipments start April 8th.

It's good to see the new Linn Lingo-3 power supply not costing more. But there wasn't any real change other than the exterior casing - correct :?:

I just received a Lingo 3 together with a (used) LP12 i bought to replace the one I foolishly sold a couple of years ago.

Anyway, on the box is says Lingo "3/1" rather then just "3". That makes me wonder if something has changed since the new enclosure?

I would guess that there is now a power button under the front panel due to recent EU legislation - a few other Linn items became /1 because of this.
