I'd go for the Linn. Although they are both upgradeable the Linn is more flexible, in my point of view. Especially if you want to use components from other brands the Linn has the edge. But finally it's the sound that matters, and that's up to your ears. So listen and decide! By the way, both brands have a good reputation for reliability and service, so that won't be a problem.
Naim Nait 3r or Linn Majik
I'm thinking about downsizing my system. I'm considering either a Naim Nait 3r or a Linn Majik. Any advice or opinions about these two amps would be appreciated. I have Paradigm speakers and I think they are 6 ohms/90db sensitive. I would just be listen to CDs, so phono stage wouldn't be important. Down the road, which amp would be more upgradedable? Especially if I wanted to go to an all Naim or Linn system. Thanks
