207.0. "Linn/Exposure/Naim in London ?" by SKIWI::EATON (Marketing - the rubber meets the sky) Thu Sep 20 1990 00:47

I'm looking for a shop in London which would stock Linn LK1/LK280/Troika/Ekos
as well as the Naim 72/140/HICAP and Exposure VII/VIII gear.

As I'll be in town for just a weekend, the shop would need to be open on
(preferably all day) Saturday.

Does anyone have current prices ? Also prices for the Linn SPARK and LINGO 
power supplies ?

The reason for the 3 is that I haven't made up my mind yet :-)

I'd appreciate the help, thanks,
-Dave.

207.2	Try Billy Vee...	HAND::LARSEN	GET OA$COFFEE	`Thu Sep 20 1990 10:20`	12

207.3	not really that helpful!	TASTY::JEFFERY	Tears of disbelief spilling out of my eyes	`Thu Sep 20 1990 12:42`	7
	I'm not 100% sure, but I think The Cornflake Shop (just off Tottenham Court Road) may do Linn. If not, their sister shop, The Sound Organisation do. Don't know the address though! Mark.
207.4	Have map will travel....	BAHTAT::SALLITT	Dave @RKG, 831-3117	`Thu Sep 20 1990 13:27`	10
	The Sound Organisation are in Cathedral Street, Southwark. They aren't related to the Cornflake Shop, though; the SO definitely stock the amps listed in .0, but I doubt they'll have a Linngo available for dem for a few weeks (mine's booked at the York SO for "late October" ;-)), although it's been circulated through the trade. The Spark is #495 if you trade back the original LK280 transformer. Otherwise it costs #595. Dave
207.5	LinnGo (Price ?)	CHEST::WATSON	Rik Watson	`Thu Sep 20 1990 14:10`	7
	Is there a price for the Linngo yet ? Chris Brooks Audio (Warrington) had a sample in a few weeks ago but no firm price. PS They also stock all the stuff your looking for but Warrington IS 200 miles from Central London ...
207.6	A lot....	BAHTAT::SALLITT	Dave @RKG, 831-3117	`Thu Sep 20 1990 16:54`	8
	According to the Sound Org in York, the Linngo will be around �500. Hamish reckons it's worth it and I'm interested to hear one, but if I had �500 burning a hole in my pocket for hifi (which I haven't) I'd be inclined to spend it on something other than a power supply for my Linn. �150-200 would be a different proposition.

207.7	Grahams ?	SKIWI::EATON	Marketing - the rubber meets the sky	`Fri Sep 21 1990 07:32`	8
	Thanks for the help guys.... Does anyone know where Grahams (sp?) is and wether they are open on the weekend ? Could someone give me latest Naim amp/pre-amp prices (+ the ARO) ? Thanks,
