Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary Review

It gets better. Get some hours on the speakers and phono stage. Also I found that the PL sounded better after it had been on for an hour.

Is that a tube thing in general? Both the quad and the PL sound better once they’d been on for a little bit and heated themselves up nicely.
 
I think it’s got something to do with the output transformers. My NAD sounds the same from the moment it’s been turned on.
Will you be doing a full HiFi Guy review of the NAD? I'm planning my speaker upgrade and class D would be a great fit. Given you've been a tube guy (at least in recent years) I'd be curious to hear what the gains/losses are between the two in your opinion.

Until I can get time to do a full write up here’s a fast take:

1. Absolutely no regrets.

2. My electric bill has dropped by 20% although the new amp is over 60% more powerful.
 
So maybe we’re getting Denton and Linton 90s then 🤔

If they are made in the new IAG UK factory be prepared for quite the price bump looking at how much more those new Missions cost in comparison to the Denton 80 and the Denton/Linton 85.
