Linn LK2 Vintage Power Amplifier – 60 WPC, Made in Scotland

A Linn LK2 stereo power amplifier, made in Scotland: one half of the pairing that made Linn a complete-system company. It comes with the XLR-to-RCA input cable it needs.

Radique’s Take

We tested it extensively with a Linn LK1 preamplifier, and the combination was quite excellent, as expected: warm, relaxed sound with plenty of detail.

A piece of Linn history

Linn built its name on the Sondek LP12 turntable. In 1985 it launched its first electronics: the LK1 preamplifier, which Linn says was the first in hi-fi to use solid-state switching and microprocessor control, and this LK2 power amplifier. With the pair, Linn became the first specialist company making a product for every stage of the hi-fi chain: turntable, tonearm, cartridge, preamplifier, power amplifier and loudspeaker.

The LK2 went through three versions: the original 60-watt LK2, a 75-watt revision that kept the LK2 name on its front panel, and finally the 80-watt LK280. This one carries the LK2 name.

Connecting it

• Inputs: Linn’s 3-pin XLR-type sockets, wired unbalanced. The XLR-to-RCA cable in the last photo is included, so it connects to any preamp with RCA outputs.
• Speaker outputs: 4 mm banana sockets, so your speaker cables need banana plugs. Our gold-plated Radique Audio Banana Plugs fit, or order a finished pair from our Cable Builder.
• Matching: its input impedance is 3 kilohms, lower than most power amps, so it is happiest with a solid-state preamp like Linn’s own LK1.

Condition

Very good: the black chassis and fascia are free of significant marks, with light scuffs only on the underside rim. Tested on our bench. Set for 120 V. Includes the power cord and the XLR-to-RCA input cable.
