Linn LP12 Turntables and Parts
The Linn LP12 (Sondek LP12) is one of the most iconic turntables in hi-fi, known for its long production history and fully modular design. First introduced in 1973, it has remained in continuous development, allowing it to evolve alongside modern audio technology while maintaining its core design principles.
Unlike most turntables, the LP12 is designed as a platform that can be upgraded and refined over time.
Fully Upgradeable Design
A defining feature of the LP12 is its modular construction, allowing individual components to be replaced or improved:
- Upgradeable sub-chassis, plinth and base components
- Interchangeable tonearms and cartridges
- Replaceable bearings, belts and motor systems
- External and internal power supply upgrades
This approach allows the turntable to be improved step-by-step rather than replaced entirely.
Designed for Long-Term Performance
The LP12 ecosystem supports a wide range of configurations and performance levels:
- Complete turntables at different specification levels
- Official upgrade components to enhance performance
- Maintenance parts for long-term reliability
- Compatibility across multiple generations of components
This makes it possible to tailor the turntable to suit both entry-level and high-end systems.
Key benefits:
- Fully modular and upgradeable turntable design
- Long production history with continuous development
- Wide range of compatible parts and upgrades
- Adaptable to different performance levels
- Designed and manufactured in Scotland
A true icon in analogue audio, the Linn LP12 offers a unique approach to vinyl playback—combining long-term upgradeability with consistently high sound quality.
