Quite a few people have ordered the new Klimax Hub or Klimax DSM, and the fortunate few have already received their kit.
‘However, for many, it may be a bit of a wait, before Linn can get their products out to consumers.
Texting with Akamatsu this evening, it seems that Linn may have underestimated the demand, and is probably delighted but overwhelmed by the demand for these groundbreaking products. I also found out from a Linn dealer recently, that Linn is not alone, in terms of supply chain issues that are global in nature.
First question: What to do if you are waiting for your new Linn kit, to pass the time, while waiting for your order?
‘The second question, is what could Linn do to increase production of the new Linn Klimax Organik DSM’s and Klimax Hubs, manufacturer their new Organik DAC boards for their Klimax 350’s and Exaktboxes?
Question 1, Passing The Time While Waiting For Your New Klimax Linn Kit
This is a good time to enjoy the kit you already have, and would be a good time to get your financial affairs in order, prior to delivery
Perhaps review your music collection and see if you can get it in order before the new kit arrives. It might be a good time to explore server options, make your network more robust, isolate your NAS from potential Ransomware attacks, check out Roon, or streaming services that you have not tried before. Back up your whole music collection on an external hard drive device?
Sell off old kit, organize and clean up the HiFi stand and cable spaghetti, prepare the listening room for the new components, upgrade other components that may complement the new Klimax ….
Other suggestions?
Question 2, Increasing Production At Linn
I can only guess that the bottleneck in production for the Linn Klimax DSM and Hub’s is the manufacturer it of the Klimax casework with the CNC machines? Could Linn have other contractors such as Castle Engineering co-produce Klimax casework, while they catch up on orders? I also wonder if the strong demand for the Karousel bearings also requires the use of CNC machines, and if that may have an impact on production of Klimax casework?
Perhaps as Scotland and the rest of the UK opens up from Covid restrictions, that Linn production employees can go back to work full-time at the factory, if that is an issue?
Other suggestions?
