Description

Loewe Legro CD (re-cased Linn Mimik CD Player) offered for sale with original Loewe Legro System remote control, all in pristine condition. This is the special ‘Arktis’ pale grey version.

The CD player and remote control have been very lightly used, offered for sale in excellent functional- and beautiful cosmetic condition, including original Loewe box and packaging.

Built in Scotland for boutique German audiovisual company Loewe, beautifully crafted in an all-metal casing. The solid cast aluminium, heavy Loewe Legro System remote control with LCD display is something to behold - a true representation of the opulence and grandeur of the high-end Loewe Legro System.

A phase of collaboration between Linn and Loewe brought about these stunning, minimalist hi-fi components with superb quality, performance and durability.
Sonic performance is inviting, warm, detailed and natural sounding - as would be expected from a high-end authentic Linn-built hi-fi component of the era.

Preferably for collection from Stepaside, Dublin 18. If required, please ask for shipping cost to your destination - at purchaser’s own risk.

Thank you for your interest.

Hi there,
I've added the photo verifying the Linn employee's name who had assembled the CD player, just as one would find under Linn's own brand hi-fi equipment.
Thanks for asking

Hi donedealuser,
Thank you for your interest and enquiry.
Photo 14 shows the connection possibilities to the rear of the unit, which are In & Out for remote and two separate pairs of connection points for audio interconnected cables. If you are seeking a CD player with digital output (e.g. to use an independent D/A converter, this is not available.

Hi again donedealuser,

Loewe's collaboration with Linn to manufacture the exquisite LEGRO range lasted between 1996 and 2004, after which Loewe landed in financial difficulty and reverted to focussing their business model on their main market segment, which is insanely expensive televisions.

This specific model probably dates to c.2000 and I've been the fortunate owner for many years, bought from an ageing couple in Ballsbridge who were moving to a nursing home.

Since I became aware of Loewe LEGRO in the late 0'ties, that's become and until this day remains my main Hi-fi kit. I just love the warmth and quality of the Linn sound (through Dynaidio speakers), blended with the coolest minimalist vintage hi-fi design out there - hands down!

My amplifier and tuner which I bought before the CD player are both the graphite colour and a few years ago, I found a matching graphite CD player at a dealer in Germany, so this Artik version made way for the matching dark one only due to cosmetic preference and has been in dry, warm storage for a couple of years since. I've tested it for a few weeks before advertising it to ensure flawless operation. Same with the uber cool remote, of which I'm keeping one and sellng the other as part of this listing.

Happy if you wish to make an offer to come have a look in Stepaside.

Thanks
