Linn LK-85 power amplifier, rare near mint condition

Linn LK85 stereo power amplifier in rare near mint
condition. Late production serial number, flawless operation, signature Linn
toe-tapping sound.

Additional line-level output is very useful for bi-amping or
connecting to the subwoofer.

Linn standard speaker posts accept “shotgun banana” type of
termination, most commonly seen on Nordost cables. Many speaker manufacturers
sell this type of connectors that can be installed on your cables – see example
on the last picture.

Linn LK85 Power Amplifier deliver pitch accurate sound with
advanced control features for system building and active upgradability.

Linn’s  power amplification development offers an
efficient, reliable amplifier choice from an advanced, bullet proof and compact
design. The versatile LK85 stereo power amplifier is engineered to bring purity
of sound and ease of use to a wide range of applications where high quality
sound is important.

The LK85 benefits from new integrated technology and high
density surface mount electronics that minimize signal path lengths and maximize
both pitch-accuracy and reliability. It can drive any loudspeaker, offer
complete stability into any normal load and produce clear sound with no audible
distortion.

Through ventilation case work and a fully shielded toroidal
transformer permits stacking with other system components.  The full protection circuitry against power
overload and overheating will automatically shut down the amplifier before
automatically powering it back up again when it is safe.
