Ever wondered which Linn LP12 upgrade would make the most significant difference to your listening experience? In this email, we explore each LP12 upgrade category and its distinctive effect on your turntable’s performance.
This overview is a great starting point, but it’s important to remember that there are many different LP12 decks out there, and each one may benefit from a different upgrade path. For the best advice personalised to your deck, we recommend you contact your local Linn Specialist.
KAROUSEL BEARING
Released in early 2020 to much fanfare, Karousel is our latest-generation single-point bearing; it forms the foundation on which your beloved LPs spin. Machined to unimaginably tight tolerances in-house, Karousel is the most love you can show a pre-2020 Sondek LP12.
POWER SUPPLY
We have a range of high-precision Sondek LP12 power supplies and motor controls to choose from – both internal and housed in an external chassis. Upgrading your existing power supply stands to produce a most pronounced change in performance from your LP12 – after all, it is the ‘source of the source’!
SUB-CHASSIS
The famous sub-chassis of a Sondek LP12 is responsible for the turntable’s overall isolation from acoustic feedback. It has a critical role; mounted upon three springs, it carries the platters, bearing and tonearm assembly separate from the rest of the deck.
TONEARMS
Discover the perfect balance of tone and precision with our Krane, Arko, and Ekos SE tonearms. Each offers distinct performance advantages. Pair with the ideal cartridge for a truly refined listening experience.
CARTRIDGES
Explore our expanded range of phono cartridges, from Adikt, to the jewel-in-the-crown of our lineup – Ekstatik. Each cartridge model delivers superior synergy with our range of tonearms.
