Klimax Kontrol is Linn's reference quality stereo preamplifier. First introduced in 2002,

The machined-from-solid clamshell construction of the Klimax casework is a beautiful and unique design that screens, protects and stabilises the internal electronics.

Inside there are four circuit boards, one an auto ranging Switch Mode Power Supply which provides silent power to the unique audio circuit board. The display and control boards are separated from the audio board, which has been updated for this new version.

Klimax Kontrol features balanced and unbalanced audio inputs and outputs, allowing you to choose the optimum connection method for your system.

Sleek, musical and effortless. The pinnacle of audio and industrial design. Only selling to downsize my system.

This is the Original Model with silent power PSU - No Upgrades. Superb Pre-amp nonetheless, Original retail USD10,000. Everything works, the display is nice and clear.
