Case # 560034 .   07.11.2025 .   Linn Linto preamplifier.  No power.

Interesting unit from European electronics  style craftsman and technical design . 75% of this unit is power supply , promotes high attention to quality of voltages power supply generates ,  detailed components management work on board , good , long lasting components used , power supply shielding  is extreme.  Even all internal wires insulated from chassis by cork material.  Simple schematic in signal path  line.
  Power supply standard  SMPS ,   in opto-isolator section they use  opto coupled transistor instead  diode .  Two steps voltages transformation  and filtration used in this unit  . General  SMPS  Power supply generates – + 14v,  – 14v,  +9 v , – 9 v  .

Minuses – shielded power supply  but no ventilation holes at all  ( internal heat in small closed box kills capacitors )  ,  using  SMD capacitors (small to save space but not reliable  for long term ) .
