Detailed Image

The 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.
