I just read this thread and I feel that I have to mention what happened to my Linn Movie Classik.
One night while the system was on standby mode, the screen went dark. The only sign of life was a blinking light on the back inditcating that it was "trasnsmitting"! otherwise nothing.
I took it to a Linn dealer and they sent it off for repair. Two and a half month later I got it back working and had to pay $237 for the reapir. I had it for 3 years and it was not under warrantee.
Linn in Florida was not able to fix it and they sent to Scoltand, they were not able to fix it either and had to replace the main board.
Just a data point in this discussion.
