Hate is a strong word in this context. Whatever leads someone to hate a hi-fi manufacturer?

There's an interesting story behind this, no doubt.

Any ideas why?

It can't be a gt 40 if it's actually being driven in working order on our roads!

Ok, how about 'The Linn Klub '
Had a few pm's already, really pleased.

Excellent idea and I would love to participate ........ which isn't easy as I'm located at the other side of the world these days Sad

Shame, bet your system sounds superb.
If we can keep details to pm and post meets here in the klub -lol, then we'd keep the thread live. Looking forward to meeting some nice folk and hearing some great systems and a few stories. Smile
