Just in case you were wondering, this particular Hell is in the Cayman Islands!

In mid-November Peter jetted out to the Cayman Islands to install a Linn Sondek LP12 50^th Anniversary Limited Edition turntable for one of our clients. Alison accompanied him as this was an opportunity not to be missed to see this beautiful Caribbean Island.

Alison and I left London Heathrow bound for Cincinnati USA on the 19th September. Arriving later that day we were kindly met by the first of three clients I was seeing on this trip.
An Ekos SE/1, a Keel and a Karousel were to be installed into a Naim Audio/Kudos Super 10 system for him.

Alison and I flew out of Heathrow on British Airways at 11.00am and arrived in San Francisco at 2.00pm local time. In actual fact it was 11 hours later! We spent an interesting two days exploring San Francisco and acclimatising before heading north about 50 miles to the Santa Rosa area where my first client lives.

Linn products have just announced three exciting new upgrades for the Sondek LP12 turntable all at once.

There is a connection here though as there is a new tonearm, Arko, plus two new cartridges, Kendo and Koil.

Arko

With Arko, Linn have returned to fundamentals, by removing all bar the mission-critical elements of tonearm design, boiling these down to their essence, and then honing what was left to superlative standards.
