HiFi Heroes: Ivor Tiefenbrun of Linn

This is the third of our series of podcasts about my HiFi Heroes. If Peter Walker and Gilbert Briggs were the founding fathers of the British Hi-Fi Industry, Ivor Tiefenbrun is regarded by some as their heir apparent and by others as their problem child. He has always been a controversial figure inspiring both loyalty and anger through his public pronouncements. 
He built his reputation on the Linn Sondek LP12 turntable, which has been in continuous production for over 50 years, through a process of continuous evolution and improvement, but his commitment to engineering excellence has influenced speaker design and digital electronics as well. 
The music accompanying this week’s podcast recognises his role as a champion of Scottish culture and music. It was generated by the Hi-Fi Hobbyist with the help of Mureka AI software, and concludes with a tribute to Mr Tiefenbrun in the style of Robert Burns.

Come back next week for the last in our current series of podcasts about my HiFi Heroes, Roy Gandy.
