Does anybody know any high profile or famous people who share our passion for Linn?
...i know Prince Charles is a customer, but does anybody know anybody else?

Not somebody i would have expected to have Linn - the spandex and the perm he wore in his heyday screams flash American Exotica (Krell, Wilson, etc) rather than the understated looks and sound of Linn...he clearly is a man of taste after all!
...it always surprises me how few Musicians actually get involved in HiFi and resorded sound reporduction - i'm aware of plenty who have very very modest systems...
I don't know if he is a Linn user - but i know George Michael is a HiFi nut - and spends a LOT of money on it (it was mentioned in his entry in the sunday times rich list!) and i think you can hear this in his music; which is always VERY well recorded.

I believe the Kane Brothers (Hue & Cry) were/are? Linn owners but then they are/were? on the Linn Records label.
.........not exactly Bon Jovi then!

I'm sure it's mentioned somewhere on Linns or a dealers website that David Bowie is a Linnie...

According to this article (http://www.theherald.co.uk/search/display.var.2439233.0.audio_flight_to_quality_is_music_to_ears_of_linn_chief.php) David Bowie and Sharon Stone are Linn customers.

Interesting
...probably a good idea for Sharon Stone - not having to move from a seated position to change the CD is probably what sold it...

I know Kate Bush was in the 80's whether she has maintained her good taste I am not sure.
