The Linn LP12 event on November 20, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., at HiFi-Studio Achterholt
We play and compare the following at Klimax level:
Linn LP12 without Bedrok
Linn LP12 with Bedrok
The LP12 plinth affects every aspect. Everything is connected to it. Every component depends on its stability, mass, and resonance characteristics. With a density more than twice that of a standard LP12 plinth, Bedrok™ is characterized by uniform solidity, high weight, and extremely low resonance.
Bedrok™ for LP12 is Linn’s first ever plinth upgrade. Find out more here.
Linn Keel
Linn Keel SE
The Keel SE is the best sub-chassis available for the LP12, offering superior rigidity, optimized resonance behavior, and ideal mass distribution. Learn more here.
Radikal with Dynamik Netzteil
Radikal with Utopik Netzteil
The new Radikal
The Klimax Radikal’s high-precision speed control technology ensures smooth rotation closer to 33⅓ rpm than any other turntable. Thanks to the digital motor control, custom-designed Utopik power supply, and aluminum chassis with excellent electrical and mechanical isolation, you’ll experience your music more intensely and at perfect pitch. Find out more here.
The Utopik power supply can now be retrofitted
to any Radikal and thus represents a significant improvement
in the sound quality of your turntable.
Your specialist for living with music for over 40 years and as one of the first German LINN dealers!
The new Linn Radikal
Reference motor control, motor, and power supply
The Klimax Radikal’s high-precision speed control technology ensures smooth rotation closer to 33⅓ rpm than any other turntable. Thanks to the digital motor control, custom-designed Utopik power supply, and aluminum chassis with excellent electrical and mechanical isolation, you’ll experience your music more intensely and in perfect pitch.
The Utopik power supply is crucial to performance, as it has separate, dedicated voltage rails for each of Radikal’s two tasks: controlling the motor and powering the internal Urika phono preamplifiers. These voltage rails are separate and self-regulating; sudden power drops from the motor or control system have no effect on the rails that power Urika, and vice versa. The independence of these rails ensures a consistent, high-quality power supply to both the motor and the phono preamplifier, improving the performance of both components.
The improved mechanical isolation of Klimax Radikal is also crucial to its performance. Weighing almost 14 kg, made from three solid aluminum parts and mounted on solid stainless steel feet with rubber ring inserts, the milled housing is reassuringly robust against external influences.
Linn Keel SE
High-quality milled keel subchassis and armboard
Keel SE is the most powerful LP12 subchassis on the market, with superior rigidity, optimized resonance behavior, and ideal mass distribution.
The complex bracing structure on the underside of the Keel SE, created through a combination of manual and computer-aided optimization, has helped us achieve our primary goal: to increase the rigidity of the subchassis as much as possible. This significant increase of 300% over our previous designs means that the frequencies of the vibrations transmitted by the Keel SE are higher and the amplitudes are significantly lower.
Thanks to its optimized resonance response, Keel SE is better able to break up and dissipate acoustic energy, reducing its potential impact on the sensitive music signal.
By removing material from the calculated areas beneath the armboard, the Keel SE’s center of gravity is distributed more evenly across its suspension than other subchassis models. This improves weight distribution between the springs, reduces inertia, and enhances the crucial acoustic isolation properties of every LP12.
The Linn Bedrok!!
Reach beneath the surface
Bedrok™ for LP12 is the first-ever, plinth performance upgrade from Linn. Formed of orthogonal layers of beech placed under extreme pressure and heat to create an entirely new, solid and massive material, this engineered, ultra-dense wood has negligible resonance and superior acoustic isolation.
Rock solid
The LP12 plinth affects everything. Everything is mounted to it, and every component depends on its stability, mass, and resonance characteristics. With more than double the density of a standard LP12 plinth, Bedrok™ is uniformly solid, heavy, and ultra-low resonance.
Reach beneath the surface
Bedrok™ technology makes each component the plinth houses perform better. It’s an holistic upgrade which improves every aspect of your LP12 – more pace, tighter bass, greater insight, and greater enjoyment!
The new “Bedrock” frame is ready for demonstration and available for delivery at HiFi-Studio Achterholt.
Linn 150 loudspeaker
150 is a powerful and compact 3-way loudspeaker. This completely new passive loudspeaker is dynamic, amazingly optimised and a lot of fun!
When developing the 150, the goal was to create a speaker that is primarily entertaining, but also offers the necessary finesse, perfection, and sound neutrality to reproduce all input sources equally appealingly.
Combine your 150 speaker with a Selekt DSM: Classic Hub and you get a future-proof complete system that can be upgraded over time.
Linn 119 Loudspeaker
The 119 speaker is modern and compact. It offers an impressively captivating sound reproduction that far exceeds its size – even when placed close to the wall.
Linn is known for developing compact speakers with outstanding performance characteristics, even when placed close to a wall. The 119 is the latest Linn speaker to achieve this feat, setting a new benchmark for performance and delivering a fundamentally entertaining listening experience.
Combine your 119 speaker with a Selekt DSM: Classic Hub and invest in a complete system that will only get better with time.
In combination with Selekt DSM or Majik DSM and adequate integrated amplifiers, both the 119 and the 150 speakers can cover an astonishing performance spectrum. Start your Selekt system experience with a simple, powerful passive configuration and work your way up to your final goal: a fully active system equipped with Linn’s Exakt technology. Huge performance increases can be realised at will – in a single step or slowly over time – by taking advantage of Selekt DSM’s unparalleled configurability.
The Organic DAC upgrade is now available for the Akubarik!!!
Available for:
Klimax DSM (alle Modelle)
Klimax DS (alle Modelle)
Klimax 350 integrierter Lautsprecher
Klimax Exaktbox
Selekt DSM (Stereo oder Dual-Mono)
Akubarik Lautsprecher
LINN Utopik Power power supply unit available for the following devices
Multiple feedback loops measure the output-to-input ratio at each stage of the power supply and permanently filter out mains noise and 50 Hz hum, even at extreme volumes.
With intelligent valley switching, power factor correction and precision-controlled insulated busbars, these power supplies are our cleanest and best yet.
Sondek LP12-50
A groundbreaking collaboration with Sir Jony Ive and his team LoveForm to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the most legendary product in hi-fi history.
The LP12-50 can be ordered from Linn. We will be happy to set it up at your home.
NEW the LINN Selekt series
LINN Classic Selekt & Edition Selekt
Best configurable streamer ever. Versatile and with exceptional sound. Just as you like it…
LINN Selekt LP12
The Audiophile’s Dream – both in its superb sonic quality and its unbounded upgradeability.
Linn has created a new market segment with its Selekt DSM Hubs. The ability to offer a one-box solution with so much connectivity and flexibility while retaining class-leading audio performance is truly an engineering achievement. This is no ordinary playback device, and the platform’s flexibility is superlative. The Edition Hub with Organik dual mono DAC sounds and performs like a far more expensive collection of discrete components. Price-wise, when considering equivalent multi-box replacement solutions from other manufacturers, it is quite a good deal. On the aesthetics front, the Linn is both distinctive and unique – indeed, it’s safe to say that there is likely to be limited pushback from your significant other on having one of these in your home…
