Turntables
The legendary LP12 and more
The Sondek LP12 revolutionised the hi-fi industry in 1973 by demonstrating the huge musical difference a superbly engineered turntable could make. Over fifty years later, its modular, upgradeable design remains the benchmark — with over fifty retrofittable mechanical and electrical upgrades developed across five decades of continuous refinement.
Modular Design
Every component — from sub-chassis to cartridge — can be individually selected and upgraded, so your turntable grows with you.
Hand-Built in Glasgow
Every LP12 is hand-assembled and meticulously set up by skilled engineers at Linn's Glasgow factory.
50+ Years of Innovation
The longest-lived hi-fi product still in production, continuously refined since 1973 with over fifty upgrades.
Source First
Information lost at the source is lost forever. The LP12 extracts every last detail from the vinyl groove.

Karousel Bearing
The single-point bearing at the heart of every LP12 has been refined to near-mechanical perfection. The Karousel bearing uses a precision-machined housing and ultra-hard sapphire thrust pad, delivering the most stable, lowest-friction rotation possible — extracting more music from the groove than ever before.
Radikal Motor Control
Radikal provides the most precise motor control available for the LP12. Its advanced electronics and dedicated power supply deliver perfectly stable rotation, ensuring pitch accuracy and eliminating speed-related distortions — letting you hear the music, not the mechanics.
