RE: what about ...

<< What about Linns own unique transport, still used today. >>

The Linn "Silver Disc Engine" wasn't anything special from a mechanical engineering point of view. It was quite expensive for what it was, and included *zero* licensing fees. As far as I know, no other manufacturer was tempted.

Actually, I take that back. I think that the new Classe was looking at. They decided it was cheaper to hire the designer than buy the mechanism. So they hired Alan Clarke from Linn. He designed slot-loading DVD notebook drives into the Classe players.
