I'm sure this is true but Linn genuinely believe that means a Linn system. My experience was that you were played the Linn option first and only if that wasn't satisfactory were you offered an alternative...the tune dem was intended as a sales aid but the final intent was to try to ensure the customer left with equipment they could genuinely enjoy listening to music on..
That’s not how it was done in our shop who strictly did tune dems. The purpose of doing tune dems was to demonstrate why we selected the gear that was sold in our store. The first product a customer listened to was a Dual 505 vs a Rega 2.I'm sure this is true but Linn genuinely believe that means a Linn system.

But Linn didn't make a turntable at that price point did they? ;0)The first product a customer listened to was a Dual 505 vs a Rega 2.
We sold a limited amount of gear where we could put together systems at various price points. Dual, Rotel, Creek, Rega, Wharfedale, Royd, Linn, Naim and Sound Organisation.But Linn didn't make a turntable at that price point did they? ;0)

Did he stamp his feet?I remember a Linn demo in which a Linn cartridge was substituted for whatever I had at the time. The linn cartridge was incapable of conveying the subtle rhythmic embellishments the drummer was doing. It oversimplified the tune, resulting in a much simpler "tune " that was, probably, easier to tap your toe to.. I pointed this out to the salesman and he didn't like it.
I left the fold when LP12/Valhalla/Ittok/Troika was the king.I'm just winding you up.
Although Linn did get progressively worse as the years went by. They imposed quotas on their dealers which essentially forced them into pushing Linn kit and they wanted to control what other brands dealers stocked. Whatever they were in the early days, I don't like Linn now.
Mixing the two across the front seats of my first car didn't work out too well for me. I clearly recall Donald Fagen suggesting to Ricki that he not lose that number, though. Oh no, that's coitus interruptus, isn't it. May as well have been something from The Roadrunner Show, AFAIK back then.I find the tune method less helpful than the rhythm method. And we all know how useful that is.
Just insist on listening to plainchant and the toe tapping will stopI've experienced the Linn dealer toe-tapping many times. It's real, they actually do that. Hi-Fi dealers cannot be trusted.
If you tap your foot to Mahler, you’re not bad, you’re mad.I, too, often tap my feet when listening to music. Am I a bad person?
