In many cases it is possible to use the Linn PRETEK preamplifier with multiple power amplifiers to increase significantly the performance of the system. For more information on the performance advantages of passive bi-amplification or tri-amplification, and AKTIV multi-amplifier systems, consult your local authorised Linn retailer.

    Check the fuse and replace if necessary with the spare one provided. If another fuse blows then there is possibly a fault with the PRETEK and the complete amplifier should be returned to your Linn dealer.
