Dear @lewm  : " I mute the preamp and then I always shut down amplifiers before preamplifier. "

I know is system dependent of its electronic items and in my case I don't need to mute nothing before shut down amplifiers and I shut down my preamp first  with no single kind of noise coming from the speakers.

Raul, Good to know I could shut down my 3160 before amplifiers, but I will continue to do the normal routine; amplifiers first.  It's not a hardship.

I took a look at the Stereophile review of the Linto.  Apparently it has a switching power supply and a highly compact-ized audio section using SMDs and op amps.  It's a simple box construction, and the S'phile reviewer made no mention of a muting function.  Not much to go on.

Like anything Linn there are a multitude of versions and upgrades.

Try here - make sure you advise them the serial number so they know which version you have.
