Linx amplifiers are by far my favourite long-gone brand. Founded in NZ in the 1980's they moved to the UK and I think were located in Canvey Island area. I first heard their Stratos pre and mon-power amps in a show at a Swiss Cottage hotel in the 1980's and lusted after them since. My first foray into Linx ownership was the Linx Vega power amp which I actually liked over the Supernait the preceded it and dare I say it, also the Bedini that succeeded it. I then managed to find a Nebula integrated which I still have - this MosFET'd beauty can outboogie a Nait 2 and drive anything. I need to get it recapped. A couple of year's back I managed to locate an example of the Stratos kit in good external nick. More refined than the Nebula and by far the best amplification I have had. The pre-amp has been upgraded by an ex-Linx designer still based in Canvey. The power amps were restored by a local specialist after the previous owner's repairer had bodged it The only downside is the Stratos pre and power amps are very susceptible to noise in my mains.
