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.

We have often been asked if and when the Organik DAC would be offered as an upgrade to existing owners of a Linn Klimax DS or DSM streamer and now the answer is here!
As from 7^th April 2022 any existing Linn DS or DSM can benefit from the amazing Organik DAC as originally featured in the Next Generation Klimax DSM.

I thought it was about time to share some details and initial impressions about the new Radikal/2 upgrade which was launched by Linn Products Ltd at the end of October. All Radikals can be updated with this kit through a Linn retailer such as ourselves and we here at Cymbiosis have both versions set up on two otherwise identical Linn Sondek LP12s for clients to compare for themselves!
