#LINN SONDEK LP 12 SME TONEARM UPGRADE#
Specifications vary from early (red button) 70s examples that we try to keep original, often fitted with an SME 3009 tonearm, through more modern decks with Linn Basik, Akito, Ittok, Ekos or other tonearms, including Audio Origami PU7 or Jelco (available new to order)īy default, we upgrade Valhalla era LP12s with new Hercules power supply boards that improve sound and reliability as well as offering the option of 45rpm. Aluminium subchassis Machined-from-solid armboard Compatible with Linn Ekos SE, Ekos, Akito, and Ittok tonearms Versions also available for Rega, SME & Naim. We’re happy to fit your existing cartridge, or to advise on, supply and fit a new one of your choice Perhaps easier to accomplish is a comparison of turntable and tonearm combinations against one another by using only the same cartridge, again hoping against too much sample-to-sample. Prices depend on specification, cartridge and condition, ranging from around £2,000 to about £5,000. Of course, some turntables like the Linn don't work well with some heavy arms like the SME IV and SME V, tonearms made to work especially well with SME tables. Our demonstration stock is always fitted with an appropriate cartridge and is ready to take home. As with all of our secondhand and vintage hifi, they are fully serviced and supplied with a year’s warranty and our support We try to keep a selection of three or four LP12s in stock, some in black and some in afromosia with the brown, fluted plinth. Still manufactured as fundamentally the same thing as when it launched in 1973, the Linn Sondek LP12 is a design classic that sounds amazing Whether it’s the colour of your favourite shirt or a shade from your best-loved album, we can match any colour you like for the perfect personalised plinth finish.Re-ignite your passion for music with a turntable that offers elegant design and exceptional performance. Properly fettled, and placed on a rigid shelf, it’s difficult to disagree. The Linn Akurate LP12 Pack is eligible for personal customisation. Many people think the greatest turntable of all time.
