Then again if you are comparing secondhand options against the LP12 you may say it's not worth it against a second-hand Rega or Michell for example. But second hand your money will go further if you can find a decent LP12 and get it fettled properly then I suspect (but cannot say for sure) that you will get a better sounding deck. If you like the sound of suspended tables (as I do) then an Audio Note TT1 may come in around that price, though I'm not sure as they don't divulge RRPs easily. To this end, they now produce and manufacture their own music under the record company aptly named 'Linn Records'! They understand that good music is the key to good hi-fi and carry this to the core, with hi-fi designed to deliver the best quality music the very best possible way.Ĭlick the banner above to view our guide to Linn's product ranges or if you are an existing LP12 owner, find out how we can help service and upgrade your Linn LP12.If so new at that price ( though cart and arm combo may change price) you are looking at something like a planar 6, project classic, Michell Tecnodec Turntable, Technics SL-1500C, Clearaudio Concept. Fast forward to the present day and Linn are still masters of source-first. The 'source-first' notion was a challenge to the conventional wisdom of the day, which held that the loudspeaker was the most important part of the hi-fi system, rather than the individual components making up the system. This was the Linn Sondek LP12, and with it was born the now widely accepted 'source-first' notion. He worked as an engineer for his father at the time, and with his help alongside a few of their colleagues, they crafted a precision engineered LP record playing turntable that was immune to acoustic feedback from loudspeakers. Upon experimenting, he came to the conclusion that the sound produced by the turntable was being affected by sound pressure variations within the loudspeakers. The range also includes digital crossovers and power supplies and in-wall or in-ceiling speakers.įounder Ivor Tiefenbrun was unsatisfied with the performance of a hi-fi system that he had purchased in Glasgow in the very early 70s. Linn now produce a range of power amplifiers, digital network streamers and loudspeakers all categorised in to entry level Majik and Selekt, mid-level Akurate or flagship Klimax series to suit your budget and personal taste. Linn have carried the same principles and methods of design and manufacture with them throughout, and their products are produced to the same high standards as the turntable that still outsells its competitors. A product so perfect, very little has changed about it in over 40 years.
