Seller has thirteen high-resolution images taken in excellent lighting.   

Linn Majik 3100 Dynamik for sale, 3 channels x 100Wrms, priced $750 below stereo model 2100 ($2350 MSRP).  Amp is suitable for stereo, HT, multi-channel audio, or tri-amp (optional internal active Xo/selectable gain).

Per Linn “unconditionally stable into all loads.”  Perfectly drove seller's speaker only 2.7 Ohms @ 200 Hz.  Amp draws only 11W idling/180W @ full power: huge cost saving over the amp’s lifespan vs. low-efficiency designs.  A 13.2 lb flyweight only 3” x 15” x 14” (H x W x D) MSRP $3080 USD, sell $1599 including Paypal, buyer pays all actual shipping + insurance fees.  Guaranteed shipping and tracking number emailed same business day payment confirmed by 3PM MDT (possibly till 4PM).  Seller has USPS/Endicia shipping discount and encourages its use (small fraction of cost and preferred service vs. UPS/Fed Ex).         

Includes OEM "Dynamik" SMPS (switching mode power supply, premiered 2009) requiring no internal modification for any power supply (220/110V, 50/60Hz).  Dynamik values exceed older linear power supplies.  Seller advises buyers to confirm power supply type prior to purchasing other Linn amp.   

FYI: Electrolytic caps (power supply and high-voltage applications) may expire in as little as 10 years.  Estimate $300 to $1500 or more + round-trip shipping/insurance for cap replacement.  Sometimes appropriate sized caps are unavailable.         

Amp first left Linn’s Glasgow, Scotland factory only several weeks ago (11 May 2011 printed on OEM carton label).  Mint AG scale 10 including every single OEM part: carton, packing material, three OEM unbalanced RCA-to-RCA interconnects, owner manual, power cable, etc.   

Chakra circuit continuously produced since Klimax model mono-blocks premiered in 1999.  Chakra technology is a pure analog (absolutely no digital) monolithic chip with multiples higher tolerance and linearity vs. classic, higher cost discreet circuits.  Linn added bipolar transistors at the chip output to match the higher current capacity of a discreet circuit.  Think of Chakra as Quad's legendary model 909 “current dumping” circuit (continuously produced since ’99 same as Chakra) but with analog chip technology replacing Quad’s discreet circuit.   

The seller prefers Chakra sound and performance vs. any other amp technology.  Chakra transparency and 3-dimensional staging/imaging equals the best OTL but with multiples greater current for a wider range of speakers.  Amp is seamless and coherent, with incredible stage and image qualities.  No audible "etching" or thumbprint”.  Chakra is a SS solution for the worst tube fanatic.       

Aug. 07 TAS review HERE http://www.avguide.com/review/linn-majik-system-cd-player-kontrol-preamp-2100-power-amp with unspecified speakers:  "...richly detailed, lively transients, superb dynamics, tremendously musical…compelling, lifelike energy…delightfully clean, fast, energetic…rich, chiming, perfect piano floated delicately with delightful tone…extraordinary bass tone and articulation…revealed the bass transient’s sharp, low-frequency 'breathing effect'…delicate over-the-top bell chime with perfect, drop-dead-gorgeous 'ping' and sustain…superb value…magic…good, lively and lifelike..." 

Nov. 05 Stereophile review in HT/stereo/multi-channel systems HERE http://www.stereophile.com/content/music-round-15-page-2 with all-Paradigm speakers including Studio/60 v.3 (8-Ohms nominal, 88 dB/W/m):    "...sings…big, open sound… knockout dynamics…plenty of power even for HT…full and impressive at high-levels…among the most revealing and transparent…stable, transparent, seldom matched sound-staging…extraordinary, thrilling detail…pleasantly unravels the most complex music…accurate perspective at any reasonable level…near-perfect into 4-Ohms..."   "...oboe inhalations clear, smooth, and with proper perspective…ensemble had dulcet sound with believable ambiance…natural, lively balance between ensemble and solo instrument…clean, tight, punchy electric/acoustic/piccolo bass (full-range no sub) with smooth, easy mid-treble..."    "...superb balance of horn and double bass, even better was the clarity of tenor voice and the warmth and transients of the horn…"
