Linn Karousel Upgrade | HiFi-Studio Achterholt

This upgrade is a “must have” for every LP 12 . Three things happened at the same time, timing and music information is increasing as well as the fun of listening to music.

The LINN SONDEK LP12 is one of the most sold hifi products on the market with more than 100.000 produced drives in almost 50 years.

Each LP12 can be upgraded to the sonic and musical level of a current series drive.

Linn’s new precision-machined single point bearing offers more consistent concentricity and stability. The new innovative version of the platter bearing has been made possible by technological developments in materials science, machining capabilities and engineering experience.
The key mechanical connection between platter, spindle, bearing and sub-chassis has been significantly improved. Reduced running noise and significantly smoother running dramatically improve music reproduction.

A solid lock nut on the stainless steel housing increases the rigidity at the critical point, the connection between bearing and sub-chassis. A more solid housing, in combination with a smaller and stiffer bushing for the platter spindle, ensures smoother running. This makes music playback more accurate and detailed than ever before.

A KAROUSEL upgrade kit will be available as a retrofit option.

The Upgrade Kit consists of:
– carousel bearing unit
– inner plate with spindle
– three coil springs
– each three small and large rubber dampers
– three washers and nuts
– ground cable
