Keithl Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Duplicate post... swap - 2017-06-06 8:45 PM Dear Forum members, Would anyone like to swap their older, but good condition 4-berth, for a new Linn Akudorik stereo system worth £19000,00? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Seems an odd mistake to make, buying one of the worlds most expensive audiophile HiFi systems when what one really wanted was a motorhome, for which one is now embarrassed for funds! So, what's the betting the Linn is a knock-off? Keith, I think its time for the MMM investigation team to spring into action! Where there's one knock-off, there are bound to be others! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 And there just happens to be an 'Ex Demonstration' system for sale on Fleabay, but NOT for £19,000!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Linn-Akudorik-System-/122535692240?hash=item1c87b247d0:g:qBcAAOSws5pZNswB If it's only worth £11,500 then why didn't 'John Mack' ask for MH's of this price range or is he trying his luck? Puzzled, but I'll give him the benefit of doubt for the time being! Even more strange, assuming this is our 'Swapper', he has 2 other Linn stereos for sale, one at £999 and the other at £4,950. I'm even more puzzled now? Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Maybe the £19,000 one is Euro 6 compliant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please would you enlighten us as to why you want to swap an apparently brand new high end stereo for a MH? Why not have a bought a MH instead in the first place? I think we are all intrigued (?)

Keith. Hello Keith, thank you for your welcome. Firstly: I am a Linn dealer and this is my personal system. Secondly: A Linn system like this is an aspirational system, some will take a lifetime to acquire it. Now I know a motorhome forum might be short of audiophiles but I might be able to reach a few who would consider the swap. The swap would be easier to part with than hard cash, which would inevitably be earmarked for something else, likewise with me and a motorhome. Thirdly: There maybe members who may not be able to tour anymore but cannot bring themselves to sell their van due to sentimental reasons. They may consider the swap to an equally passionate person and who knows it could be the start of a new hobby - this time an internal one. Lastly: It's a bit of fun, besides money is sooo cold. https://www.i-stereos.co.uk/?s=linn&post_type=product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with motorhomes but I have an LP12 purchased in 1987, upgraded etc, and its still going strong! See the 'vinyl revolution' ...... I never left vinyl .... just sounds so much better to my ears than digital. Rest of system is high end Naim.

I guess your best bet is EBAY, but I wish you luck PJay Well done Keith for giving him the benefit of explaining, and not just deleting Hi Jay Stereo systems are often bought twice in one's life (other than hobbyists who upgrade more regularly than that) The first is when one is young before the kids come along. Then one gets married, the kids come along and the system goes into the loft until one becomes an empty nester. The second is when one is an empty nester. The system comes down from the loft, only to discover that it is ruined. Despite what people tell you about hearing loss, human hearing is more complex than the hearing tests suggests. Yes, one does lose the high frequencies but music is more than this. High end systems are more about midrange frequencies which poor systems fail to reproduce properly. (do you ever find yourself turning up a radio to hear the news - the reason is because it fails to reproduce midrange properly - if you have a good system you will not be doing this) So Jay you might be right that I will not get a swap but you wrong regarding the target group. Also the silver server is very important and are the one's who are streaming music (no tapes, yes LPs) which is a growth market.
