KEY FEATURES INCLUDE
The new Linn Pekin AM/FM tuner integrates the
knowledge gained from developing other Linn tuners
such as the Kremlin, the Kudos and most recently the
Classik, and takes it a step further, to produce a
powerful and truly musical performance to the unique
standard of pitch that you expect from Linn.
The extremely high performance and sound quality
that characterises the Pekin is matched by its ease of
operation and use.
The Pekin can be manually controlled using the front
panel, which gives clear information, and although
there are many sophisticated features, the most
commonly used require only one or two key presses.
Alternatively, for ease of use the Pekin is supplied with
a remote control handset, which provides access to all
of the functions available from the front panel.
