Since 1975, Definitive has provided the finest, high-performance audio and video solutions in the Pacific Northwest. For over 40 of those years, Linn products have been at the forefront of our music systems.
Linn is a family-run Scottish business that produces some of the world's finest Hi-Fi components. Each product is individually hand-built by one of Linn's highly skilled engineers – incorporating fanatical attention to detail and precision engineering to the tightest tolerances.
Linn components only leave their factory near Glasgow when their engineers are completely satisfied that the build quality meets the incredibly stringent standards. Each piece needs to be deserving of the Linn badge and the 'Clyde Built' epithet proudly stamped on each one of Linn's PCBs. In this way, Linn prides itself on continuing Scotland's rich heritage of innovation and ground-breaking engineering.
Definitive began with the legendary Linn Sondek LP12, an icon revered by vinyl lovers worldwide. It sets a benchmark by which all other turntables are compared. Today, the LP12 is in as high a demand as when it was first introduced in our Seattle store 40 years ago. However, many do not know that this product has been continually enhanced over the years, with every component of its modular, upgradeable design having since been improved.
An LP12 from the '70s can be upgraded to today's current specification, bringing you closer to your music collection than you thought possible. It's an icon that's still evolving; a revolution that's still revolving.
Since its founding in 1973, Linn has designed and manufactured a complete portfolio of superb products. As a result, they have been a staple choice at Definitive throughout this time. Linn has all the bases covered within the Hi-Fi chain, from world-class source components and whole systems to complete surround setups.
Linn has been a pioneer in both the analog and the digital domains, with a host of innovative, industry-leading proprietary technologies featured across their range of products.
Space Optimisation is a unique and sophisticated technology built-in to every Linn streamer. It builds a dynamic, acoustic model of your listening space and removes the distorting effects of its construction materials and layout – so you can hear your music, not your room.
Exakt technology achieves the impossible by, amongst other wizardry, rendering your speakers phase linear. The resulting perfect time alignment means that every subtle element that makes up each note of your music, including all the harmonics, arrives at your ears at precisely the same time, just like they would if the musicians were right there in the room with you. As a result, Exakt brings your music to life in extraordinary, lifelike detail.
In March of 2021, Linn released a new flagship streamer at the top of their range – the next-generation Klimax DSM. The beating heart of which is Linn's first-ever, entirely homemade DAC – Organik. This product is being heralded by many as the finest network music player available. It's a masterpiece – the epitome of extreme engineering, inside and out – and we are thrilled to announce that the next-generation Klimax DSM is here, in both our Seattle and Bellevue showrooms, for you to experience in person. We invite you to come and hear just how good your Hi-Fi system could become with the addition of this phenomenal network music player.
