MAKE AN OFFER - CLIENT WANTS A QUICK SALE!!

The legendary LINN KLIMAX KONTROL preamplifier is a machined-from-solid clamshell construction of the KLIMAX-series casework. The case is a beautiful and unique design that screens, protects and stabilizes the internal electronics. Inside there are four circuit boards, including an auto-ranging slimline universal power supply providing silent power to the unique audio circuit board. The display and control boards are separated from the audio board to keep the audio signal path as clean as possible.

This KONTROL (SN 714575) was used in a client’s second home and has not been moved since we (EARSNOVA) installed it. It is in virtually new condition and performs beautifully. PLEASE NOTE: this is the original KONTROL, with original PSU and control board. This is reflected in the asking price. ALSO, PLEASE NOTE: the remote control is included, but we have not checked its batteries nor its functionality. Infra-red codes are standard RC5, so another remote can easily be used, and a new Linn Slimline remote is available for $80-. Your KONTROL will ship to you in a brand-new Linn KLIMAX carton.

UNIVERSAL HIGH PRAISE FOR THE VERSION OF THE KLIMAX KONTROL THAT WE ARE SELLING IN THIS LISTING:

“I was just pulled deeper and deeper into the music. I kept watching the clock, knowing that I had to go to bed because I had to be up by 6:00am. I just couldn’t stop listening to music. One more track kept turning into one more CD and then began the vinyl adventures. Finally, 2:00am came around and I convinced myself that I could get by on four hours of sleep...the higher the caliber of your source components, amplification and speakers, the more sonic realism the KLIMAX will enable you to enjoy. It is simply the finest preamp I have ever used. Strongly recommended if you can afford it. If you can’t, try harder”. Stereo Times

“Based on what I've heard over the years, the seemingly passive act of refraining from screwing up the music is the rarest thing in audio. The Linn KLIMAXes get that right. For that reason, they’re among the relatively few products in hi-fi that I could picture myself owning and loving. They not only sing, they sing with uncommon clarity and articulation. And, when it's called for, they impress with sheer force.” Stereophile

“The KONTROL excelled on delivering both bass and extended frequencies, which is no surprise given the remarkable frequency response of this preamp. Just over 2 Hz to 200 kHz will deliver anything we need from any source; clearly the KONTROL was built with SACD and DSD in mind! (And that's got to be good for LPs, as well… there's a lot of high frequencies in some of those grooves.) I was pleased at the sense of spaciousness and air in the terrific Tommy SACD by The Who, which is truly an exceptional reissue. Through the KONTROL, the sense of bass control was spot on, while I found myself hearing things that I'd never heard before…In part, this was because the sound-staging and imaging of the KONTROL on all my favorite recordings was superlative. Beck's Sea Change SACD is a particular rave of mine; even in stereo mode, you get to hear the image palette of Beck as he steers things about in an aural virtual space. The KONTROL places these sonic locales without any smearing, and without making a single atom sound etched….the KONTROL worked flawlessly from start to finish, never caused any problems, never overheated, never overloaded, and never sounded stressed. It didn't buzz, hum, or draw attention to itself, other than in its sculpted visual beauty. There was not one single moment of frustration, or trying to debug some problem. For seven months it simply provided gain, switching, and stayed out of the way of the signal. High purity, high utility. World class!” Positive Feedback

YOUR KONTROL WILL SHIP IN AN ORIGINAL LINN CARTON.
