Top quality hi-fi equipment available in Valencia

For the last 3 years, my Linn turntable has been broken,
due to a voltage supply
problem (500 volts!). Recently, whilst surfing around the internet, I
discovered that
Linn Products
of Scotland, had entrusted dealership of their
excellent products to a company in Valencia.
At the end of march, I made the trip to Valencia to get my LP12 fixed.

The full story...
Whilst checking the web site of
Linn Products,
I discovered, that they now have a main agent in Madrid and an authorised
dealer
in Valencia,
Son alta fidelidad.
Linn LP12 owner
Being the proud owner of a Linn Sondek LP12 turntable, one of the best in the
world, which was sadly broken, I decided to get in touch and try to get it
repaired.
Ex-Linn dealer
I should point out, that some years ago, before I came to live in Spain, I
managed hi-fi retail outlets in London, specialising in the best equipment
available, including Linn Products. I can testify to the high standards
required in order to become a Linn dealer! Linn systems are almost always
delivered and installed, to ensure that the equipment performs correctly.
First contact...
I decided to e-mail Ignacio at Son, to establish whether he could get the parts
needed to put my deck in order. Within 24hrs I had a positive reply! I then
telephoned arranging to travel to Valencia during the week to order a new motor
and get the power supply board looked at and hopefully repaired.
I should point out that this turntable is now 23 years old!
The Linn turntable was designed by Ivor Tiefenbrun, son of a Scottish engineer
(Castle Engineering, Glasgow). It is built to the very highest engineering
standards. Linn look for employees in places like NASA (really)!
They also cost quite a lot of money. The thought of letting anyone 'mess' with
it makes my hair stand on end.

So, off I went to Valencia, to meet Ignacio, order a new motor and leave my
power supply circuit for him to, hopefully, repair.
I was quoted approximately 10 days for this to be done. I was not to be
disappointed.
