Opinion on Linn AV 5105


Just bought a used Linn AV 5105 power amp (100W into 8 Ohms). Hasn't arrived yet, just waiting to see how it'll sound in my system. Curious what people's opinions are on this amp?

Linn's switch mode power supplies were trash in my experience. I forget which model it was but the SMPS died pretty quickly.
I owned 2 of these amps. They had a nice ss sound IMO. If you crack them open, you'll wonder why they command a high price. I believe I paid around $400 a piece for mine, which seemed about right for the build and sound.
