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.

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!

Linn’s latest iteration of their reference turntable, Klimax LP12, produces an even more musical, pitch-perfect performance. With it, you’ll experience your favourite albums – both cherished classics and those freshly unwrapped – as if it were for the first time.

Klimax LP12 now features new Radikal, comprising hyper-accurate speed management technology, a whisper-quiet power supply, and state-of-the-art motor design.

The new Linn Karousel bearing has taken the Linn Sondek LP12 world by storm with its staggering musical performance upgrade. And now you can experience this for yourself as we are holding two days of demonstrations on a 1-2-1 basis.

So rather than our usual open days, you will need to book a demonstration in advance when you will be able to book a personal one hour slot, which will be limited to two people per session.
