Tangerine Audio, founded by Mark Digman and the late Derek Jenkins, is a specialist audio manufacturer based outside London. Tangerine has developed an enviable reputation for producing precision upgrade products for the Linn Sondek LP12 turntable.
Revolver is an upgraded platter for the standard one fitted to the Linn Sondek LP12.
Machined from a single billet of high grade austenitic (non magnetic) stainless steel, Revolver weighs 2.574KG and will not require a reset to the suspension. Linn platters vary a bit in weight but the Tangerine is 2.542. Revolver is a straight forward swap over upgrade.
The inner diameter remains the same ensuring compatibility with both Radikal and Lingo 4 sensor pick ups. The primary benefit is even weight distribution which allows the stylus to track the groove at optimum level. Unlike a cast platter there is no porosity (gaps or air pockets, think honeycomb bar). Porosity has a detrimental effect causing the platter to be unbalanced. Revolver is not subject to these compromises.
The manufacturing process will ensure each unit is within a very fine tolerance of 0.10mm and beautifully finished in natural silver.

The point of Evenstar is to stabilise the record and make the job of the stylus more optimal – this results in a better sound quality. There is a clarity to the sound and greater authority.
Evenstar weighs 118gm, is machined from a solid billet of aluminium, anodised, and finished in satin silver. The side that makes contact with the vinyl rests on three machined lands. The topside has a machined-out recess which aids weight distribution and gentle down force. There are no adverse affects on the suspension or bearing. Evenstar is a high quality accessory at an affordable price.
Designed to be used with the standard Linn arm boards. Supplied with torx wood screws, TA machined washers and Nylock nuts.
Machined from a solid billet of high grade aluminium it features the signature Tangerine grooves, designed to break up standing waves. Critically, there are three machined lands at the two most important elements of the player: namely, where the bearing and arm board are mounted.
Flat surface to flat surface gives a poor interface, the use of lands is highly effective for a superior coupling, resulting in better performance and sound quality.

The Karmen top plate was the first product designed by Tangerine Audio for use with Linn’s iconic Linn Sondek LP12 turntable. This 3rd party replacement for the LP12’s original stainless steel top plate is precision-machined from a solid billet of aluminium and comes with bespoke fixings and a machined cross-brace. Although the technical specifications remain a closely guarded secret, Tangerine use only the highest grade materials, chosen for their specific application.
In comparison to the standard top plate, the Karmen brings greater musicality and flow, improved dynamics, deeper, better-defined bass and maintains the LP12’s impeccable timing. All this coupled with an incredibly quiet background makes for a more realistic and engaging performance and, as many of our customers tell us, represents a serious upgrade to the Linn Sondek LP12.
Available in a brushed silver or black finish, this is a clever and attractive upgrade for your Linn Sondek LP12 and needs to be heard!
Following on from the success of their Karmen top plate, Tangerine Audio have now introduced their new Plateau sub-chassis for the Linn Sondek LP12 turntable.
Plateau is a two-part system with both the chassis and arm board being machined from high-grade, solid aluminium billet. The arm board itself is finished to the highest standards and looks superb on the Linn Sondek LP12. What’s more, it supports Linn, Naim ARO and Rega mounts, giving you a wider choice of arm than is the case with some sub-chassis options.
The Plateau’s sub-chassis and arm board feature the same machined grooving on the underside as the established Karmen top plate, something of a Tangerine hallmark. The sub-chassis also features three lands where the bearing housing and arm board are mounted to achieve superior contact, resulting in better performance.
The increase in the turntable’s performance and enjoyment is not subtle; there is an extension in the bass, more detail and better timbre, together with exceptional timing.
We are delighted to announce that both Plateau and Karmen are now available for demonstration here at Cymbiosis.
Tangerine Audio’s new flagship product Stiletto is a one-piece, aluminium plinth/top plate.
It is machined from a solid billet of aluminium, the top plate section being the same as the Tangerine Audio Karmen.
Stiletto takes the Linn Sondek LP12 into uncharted territory and raises the performance bar to a new level, it is quite simply stunning.
Tangerine Audio consider this to be the most exciting thing they have done and it is on demonstration here at Cymbiosis.
