Timing matters here because the EKOS is a long-running classic rather than a current-production bargain hunt, so you’re really paying for the right example rather than chasing a new-model discount. Against your own AUD market data, A$5,450 sits well above the A$3,284 median and even above the A$6,486 75th percentile only by a little? Actually, it’s below that upper quartile, so I’d call it ambitious but not outlandish for a very good example.
What makes it worth considering is the EKOS’s reputation as a serious, beautifully engineered tonearm that can let a high-end deck and cartridge really sing, with the sort of precision and musical control Linn owners chase. At very_good condition, the upside is strongest if it’s complete, unmolested, and includes the small parts that are easy to lose; if it checks out, this is a credible buy for someone wanting a top-tier used arm rather than a project.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Linn Products: Brand Overview
Linn Products was founded in 1973 by Scottish engineer Ivor Tiefenbrun in Glasgow as a vehicle to manufacture the Sondek LP12 turntable, which would become the company's most iconic product and a cornerstone of high-fidelity audio. The brand emerged during the golden era of British hi-fi with a revolutionary "source first" philosophy—challenging the prevailing industry belief that loudspeakers mattered most by demonstrating that superior sound quality begins with the audio source. This foundational principle has guided the company's engineering ethos for over five decades.
Linn's product portfolio spans the complete hi-fi chain, from turntables and tonearms to preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and loudspeakers. The company introduced the world's first microprocessor-controlled preamplifier and power amplifier in 1985 (the LK1 and LK2), establishing itself as an electronics specialist. From 2007 onward, Linn pivoted toward digital music streaming, becoming an early adopter of network-based audio playback supporting studio master-quality recordings at 24-bit/192 kHz resolution, and discontinued CD player production in 2009 to focus on this strategic direction.
Linn occupies the high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among discerning audiophiles and collectors for its uncompromising engineering approach and longevity. The brand's reputation rests on meticulous product design, acoustic isolation principles, and a commitment to eliminating weak links in the signal chain—a philosophy that has made Linn one of the most influential manufacturers in hi-fi history and a benchmark for quality-focused audio engineering.
