Using Linn With Other Brands

My current system is a Linn Classik driving Dyna Contour 1.1s. I'm thinking of adding an amp through the Classik's pre-outs to give the Dynas more juice. (The Classik is 75 watts @ 4ohms.) I don't want to be limited to only Linn, but I've heard so much about the Linn synergy and how it doesn't mate well with other equipment that I'm hesitant to try another brand. Are my fears justified or will Linn sound good with other gear?
Thanks in advance.

I used to have a Linn LK1/LK2 pre/power combo, and now use a Kairn pre with a Rogue 88 power amp. To my admittedly non-golden ears, Linn equipment can sound fine with other makes--you don't get the pure Linn sound, but depending on your tastes, that can be desirable.

Does anyone out there know if there are technical reasons not to mix Linn with non-Linn?
