Linn Announces New Distribution Partnership for New Zealand
Scottish brand Linn has been at the forefront of precision engineered and hand-built music systems since 1973. It continues to enjoy success with the resurgence of vinyl, but the company is equally renowned today for its abilities in digital and streaming.
In fact, Linn was one of the first audio manufacturers to introduce digital music streaming using a home network approach. They've also delivered breakthrough technologies like Space Optimisation and Exakt. One could also say that it is a brand that has adapted to the changing market and continues to reinvent itself over its nearly 50 years in business.
When you invest in a Linn product, you are buying a skillfully crafted piece from its Glasgow factory, bearing the name of the person who made it. It's built with precision and pride, designed for the future and engineered to extraordinarily tight tolerances. Every product is rigorously tested before it leaves the Linn factory to ensure that it delivers outstanding performance today and into the future. You can read StereoNET's Linn Factory Tour article from 2015 here.
After 38 successful years representing Linn in New Zealand with the great care and passion the brand deserves, Dean Harnish and John Ellingham have handed over the reins to the incoming distributor, N.A. Distributors.
N. A. Distributors was formed in 1987 and proudly represents premium home entertainment brands. In their own words, "we focus on products that delight music-lovers and bring them closer to their music collections".
Chris Murphy, Director of N.A. Distributors told StereoNET:
We're thrilled to represent Linn in New Zealand, and to be working with a proud Scottish company that creates innovative, interesting products. The brand and its people bring passion, honesty, dedication and a deep love of music to their business, closely matching our own team.
The Linn product ranges will be available across New Zealand from specialist retailers that have been handpicked for their energy and enthusiasm, technical expertise, and great customer service. Dean Harnish and John Ellingham will also continue to offer their expertise and support as Linn retailers.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
