I just listened to both The Linn Majik-I integrated and the Akurate 2200 this weekend. Amazingly I could not detect a big difference in sound because they use the same amplification technology, the 2200 just has more power. Both stunning amps. You would not believe the little Majik-I could pack such a punch!! I am also going to sell my CDP now and get the Majik CD for an all Linn system. World Class gear (and they don't take up any room) or run hot. No more looking for me!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again everyone.
