I thought the Linn spelling meant it was made in the same design shops & factory as Ikea. Does it come flat packed?

At a tender age I was homebound on the London underground having visited my first hi-fi show. I went there specifically to see the Pink Triangle turntable in the flesh and talk to "Arthur and Neil" IIRC.
Spotting someone waiting for the next tube wearing a pink triangle badge I enthusiastically accosted them about the show. They were taken aback and it was a hard lesson that the name and badge already had a more powerful historical connotation :-o
FWIW I recall the PT guys stating it was magenta, the colour of love but then heard later (fairly or not) that "short-shirts" were the motivation behind the name.
My speakers by Cadence carry a short but pretentious name of "Amaya" which means some tripe such as "chosen one" in Sanskrit. I was going to say that Joe's fun menu system for names had it all wrapped up but feel obliged to offer that for Greek names, Sanskrit would seem equally bucket-inducing.

how about the Consonance, Forbidden City "Ping" all in one job. Can you imagine going into a shop and asking for a "Ping" . And if you've got vinyl how about asking for a Revolver"Pig" disc clamp at the same time. "I'll have a Ping and a Pig, please"

I made CD player in the 90's called The Emotive Statement (T.E.S.). That takes some beating for being pretentious.

That's a typo. It's actually Six Loons.
Joe's system gets there. It's modular, so you can adjust mythological and numerological systems to taste.
