Linn have just announced a new bearing upgrade for the Sondek LP12 turntable.
Designated as the Karousel, this is a new, innovative precision-engineered design which will improve vinyl reproduction from every LP12 ever made.
The unique single-point bearing, combined with the acoustic isolation of the turntable design, were the foundations on which Linn was established in 1973, the bearing design even providing the inspiration for the Linn logo.
Yes, this was Peter’s third visit in 8 years to a client in Tours, France.
He was here to rebuild and make a few changes to a Linn Sondek LP12 including updating an Akurate Radikal to Klimax specification, replacing the top plate with a Tangerine Karmen and exchanging his Dynavector XV-1s for a new one.
Two weeks after the visit to the streets of Salisbury, Peter was on his travels again with another set of Cymbiosis customers, this time to the Linn factory in Glasgow.
Once again Peter and Alison had the pleasure of meeting a couple of the attendees for drinks the evening before at a local hotel.
We have some great news from Linn that, due to popular demand, they have reintroduced both the Akurate DS and Klimax DS Network Players to their product line-up.
They are both available immediately and we will have them both on demonstration again here at Cymbiosis. This means that anyone wishing to add a Linn network player to any system can now do so without having the onboard preamplifier of the Linn DSM products.
