The only difference is phono, which is what you hook your turntable to if you listen to vinyl. If you don't have or don't plan on purchasing a turntable, you don't need to spend the extra money.
if ya get a kairn, get one w/the latest *slimline* wersion of the brilliant p/s - defineitely better-sounding; i had both versions before going to toobs... the linn will compete w/the wery best out there, except when it comes to soundstage depth - which is why i went tubular! ;~)
linn can tell ya; i tink i have the serial #'s saved on my work compootah, but it will have to wait until tomorrow...
if ya *do* listen to phono, the kairn's fono-stage *is* wery nice - the non slimline unit w/built-in fono was superior to the musical-surroundings phonomena plugged into the linestage wersion w/the slimline p/s...
