It has one moving-coil input with resistive loading selectable from 25 to 1,000 ohms and one moving-magnet input with capacitance selectable from 50 to 400 picofarads, both set by switches on the rear panel, with 60 and 40 dB of gain respectively. Balanced and unbalanced analog outputs feed any line input, and a mono switch sums the channels for mono pressings so that vertical groove noise cancels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe RIAA circuit is solid state, specified at 0.005 percent distortion and ±0.3 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with 78 dB signal-to-noise on the moving-coil input and 80 dB on moving magnet. Those are figures that put the MP100 ahead of the phono stages built into many integrated amplifiers, and the loading options let a cartridge be matched properly rather than run into whatever the built-in stage happens to offer. The chassis is McIntosh's half-width format, 11½ inches wide and under four inches high, with a black glass front panel and the green-lit logo, and it uses Power Control to switch on with the rest of a McIntosh system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eWhat sets the MP100 apart is the digital side. Optical, coaxial and USB outputs carry the equalized signal at 24-bit\/96 kHz, so the MP100 can feed a DAC-equipped preamplifier digitally, or rip records to a computer over USB with recording software. A clipping indicator on the front panel shows when a loud passage would overload the analog-to-digital converter, so the owner can lower the input before a transfer rather than discover the fault afterward, and the digital section can be switched off entirely for analog-only listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eHi-Fi News rated the MP100 Highly Commended in April 2017, eCoustics' Ian White reviewed it in October 2022 and found it detailed, clear and dynamic, and Positive Feedback's Gary Lea reviewed it in March 2023. McIntosh has scheduled the MP100 to end production in 2026, so availability should be confirmed before a system is planned around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe MP100 suits a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-mt5-turntable\"\u003eMT5\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-mt10-turntable\"\u003eMT10\u003c\/a\u003e feeding a preamplifier without a phono stage, or a home theater processor such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-mx124-a-v-processor\"\u003eMX124\u003c\/a\u003e; it also adds a second, adjustable phono input to a system whose preamplifier already has one, or a USB path for archiving to a system whose phono stage does not.

Linn has built it on that principle since 1972 and has changed it one part at a time, always keeping the new part compatible with every deck already made. The Majik LP12 is the specification Linn assembles from the entry point of that program, and the deck itself, the plinth, the steel top plate, the Karousel single-point bearing and the inner and outer platters, is identical to the one under a Klimax LP12. What differs is the set of parts bolted to it: the Majik power supply, a compact low-noise unit mounted inside the plinth that filters the mains and drives a 110 V synchronous AC motor at a fixed 33⅓ rpm, with 45 rpm by the pulley adaptor supplied; the Majik sub-chassis, a sandwich of 1.5 mm aluminum sheet carrying Linn's five-layer laminated armboard; and the Solid Base, an aluminum board with fixed feet that closes the plinth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe arm is Linn's Krane, which replaced the Majik arm in 2020. It is static-balanced, hand-assembled from aluminum and stainless steel, and built to Linn's own geometry of 229 mm effective length, 18 mm overhang and 24 degrees of offset, so that every Linn cartridge and every Linn sub-chassis lines up without adjustment. Its vertical bearing is polished tungsten on sapphire, the horizontal bearing a dual ceramic assembly, the anti-skate a magnetic mechanism with no thread or weight, and VTA is set against a laser-etched scale so the setting can be repeated. The cartridge is the Adikt, Linn's moving magnet: a Gyger II stylus on an aluminum cantilever delivering 6.5 mV into any 47 kΩ MM input, with a stylus assembly the owner can replace. The Majik LP12 MC substitutes the Koil, a 0.4 mV moving coil with a boron cantilever and nude Microlinear stylus that needs an MC input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eHi-Fi News put the Majik LP12\/Krane package through its laboratory in 2021 and measured speed within 0.22 percent of nominal, peak wow and flutter of 0.02 and 0.04 percent, rumble of −70 dB through the groove and arm-bearing friction below 10 mg with no perceptible play; the review found that the deck \"makes music sound natural, unforced, easy and yet expressive and emotional.\" What Hi-Fi? tested the MC version in 2024 and called the presentation \"fluid and wonderfully cohesive,\" while noting that it is not the most dynamic or rhythmically driven turntable at the price. Both reviews make the same point from different angles: the Majik parts are modest, and the deck under them is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe MM version plugs into the phono input of almost any integrated amplifier, or the MM input of a Linn Selekt DSM. The MC version needs a moving-coil stage: the MC input of a Selekt or Klimax DSM, Linn's Uphorik, or the phono input of the Luxman, McIntosh and Audio Research integrated amplifiers we pair it with for listeners outside the Linn system. The Majik LP12 is also the deck that benefits most from a careful setup, because the suspension, the arm height and the cartridge alignment are all set from below and by hand; we do that on our bench before delivery and again whenever a part is changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eWhat distinguishes the Majik from other turntables at its price is what can happen next. Because the deck is the same from Majik to Klimax, a Majik LP12 can take a Trampolin base, a Lingo supply, a Kore sub-chassis, an Arko arm or a Radikal in whatever order suits the owner, each fitted in an afternoon without replacing anything else. Choose the Majik to start with a Sondek and build it over the years; choose the Selekt LP12 if you want the Lingo, Kore, Trampolin, Arko and Kendo from the first day; choose the Klimax LP12 when the turntable is to be the system's primary source and the finished article is wanted now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuspended sub-chassis.\u003c\/strong\u003e Three springs carry the bearing and the arm inside the plinth, isolating stylus and groove from the plinth and from the surface below.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKarousel bearing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Linn's third single-point bearing since 1972, with a stainless-steel housing and lock-nut fixing; fitted to every current LP12.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMajik power supply.\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal low-noise supply that filters mains noise to the 110 V synchronous AC motor and holds 33⅓ rpm; 45 rpm by adaptor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMajik sub-chassis and laminated armboard.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandwich-construction 1.5 mm aluminum sub-chassis with Linn's five-layer laminated armboard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKrane tonearm.\u003c\/strong\u003e Static-balanced, tungsten-and-sapphire vertical bearing, dual ceramic horizontal bearing, laser-etched VTA scale and magnetic anti-skate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdikt cartridge.\u003c\/strong\u003e Moving magnet with Gyger II stylus and user-replaceable stylus assembly, 6.5 mV into any MM input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpgrade path.\u003c\/strong\u003e Same plinth, top plate, bearing and platters as the Klimax LP12, so every Linn upgrade fits this deck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;margin:0 0 6px;padding:0\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#2a2a2a;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Ash\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth or fluted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#9a4a2a;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCherry\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth or fluted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#c9a66b;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOak\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth or fluted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#5a2f22;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosenut\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth or fluted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#6b4a2b;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWalnut\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth or fluted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:13.5px;color:#55524c\"\u003eAll five woods are the same price, and we keep all five in stock in the smooth plinth.

The Selekt LP12 is the specification Linn assembles from the middle of that program. Below it, the Majik LP12 is the entry point with the Karousel bearing, the Krane arm and an Adikt or Koil cartridge; above it, the Klimax LP12 carries the Klimax Radikal, Keel SE, Ekos SE, Ekstatik and a Urika phono stage. The Selekt takes the components that make the largest difference short of those, and reviewers have been consistent that it is where the LP12 becomes a different class of turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe motor is the Sondek's 12 V synchronous AC unit, driven by the Lingo, a hybrid supply with its drive electronics inside the plinth and its power supply in a separate case. Derived from the Radikal's control system, the Lingo checks platter speed on every rotation and corrects the motor drive, recalibrates each time the deck is switched on, and adds a switched 45 rpm. Inside the plinth the Kore replaces the pressed-steel sub-chassis of the standard deck with a three-layer bonded aluminum box and an armboard machined from solid and bonded to it, so the arm and the platter bearing move as one piece on the suspension and the arm collar bolts straight to the structure. The Karousel single-point bearing, standard on every current LP12, carries the inner platter, and the Trampolin base board, aluminum on suspended, damped feet, replaces the fixed Solid Base and isolates the deck from the shelf beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe arm is the Arko, which Linn introduced in 2022 as its first new tonearm design in two decades and built entirely from 7075-grade aluminum: a cold-drawn 7075 arm tube, a 7075 headshell and gimbal, a counterweight with precision-machined slots and a polished stainless-steel through-spindle. Its gimbal bearings are held concentric and preloaded so the arm moves freely in both planes; effective length is 229 mm, overhang 18 mm, offset 24 degrees and effective mass 10 g, suiting cartridges from 2 to 10 g with a downforce range of 0 to 3 g. The Kendo was designed alongside it: a moving coil with a boron cantilever, a super-fine-line stylus, 4N copper coils on a square armature and a rigid nickel-coated 7075 aluminum body, chosen so that cartridge and arm share a material and mechanical energy drains out of the generator into the sub-chassis rather than reflecting at a boundary. Output is 0.45 mV at 3.54 cm\/s into a recommended 100 Ω load, at 2.0 g tracking force; the cartridge weighs 7.6 g and channel separation is better than 28 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eAlan Sircom reviewed the Selekt LP12 for Hi-Fi+ in April 2023 and found a deck that kept the LP12's bounce and timing while sounding more neutral and cleaner than earlier Linn moving coils, with a crisp, dry treble and detail he called fresh rather than nostalgic: \"The Linn Selekt LP12 does 'detailed' and 'fun' like they were going out of fashion.\" His cautions were that the Klimax upgrade path more than doubles the price and that listeners wanting the warmer character of older LP12s may not want this one. Michael Evans at StereoNET (September 2023) ran it on Exposure amplification and Linn Sara loudspeakers, heard strong, taut bass, lively rhythm and a smooth, neutral midrange, called it \"a highly emotional performer,\" scored it 9.5 out of 10 with an Applause Award and answered his own question about whether it is the best-value Linn turntable with a yes; his reservation was that a Technics SL-1000R delivers sharper attack transients. Both found the Kendo's exposed cantilever makes fitting the stylus guard nerve-racking, which is one reason we fit and align the cartridge ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe Selekt LP12 needs a moving-coil input. In a Linn system it goes into the MC phono stage of a Selekt DSM or Klimax DSM, or into a Urika II fitted later for Exakt Link output; with other electronics we pair it with Linn's Uphorik phono stage into Luxman, McIntosh, Burmester or Audio Research preamplifiers, or with the phono stages of the Luxman and Burmester lines. We set up every Selekt LP12 before delivery and can take the deck toward Klimax specification one component at a time: Radikal in place of the Lingo, Keel SE in place of the Kore, Ekos SE, Ekstatik and Urika, each fitting the same plinth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eChoose the Majik LP12 to start with a Sondek and upgrade later; choose the Selekt LP12 for most of the LP12's character at about a third of the Klimax's price, with the Arko and Kendo matched from the start; choose the Klimax LP12 when the turntable is to be the system's primary source and the finished article is wanted now. The plinth comes in Black Ash, Cherry, Oak, Rosenut or Walnut; the fluted plinth and Linn's densified-beech Bedrok are the alternatives to order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLingo power supply.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hybrid supply with drive electronics in the plinth and power supply outside; digitally managed speed control derived from the Radikal, checked every rotation; switched 33⅓ and 45 rpm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKore sub-chassis.\u003c\/strong\u003e Three bonded 1.5 mm aluminum layers with a ribbed armboard machined from solid and bonded to the box, so arm and bearing move as one piece on the suspension.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrampolin base.\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum base board on suspended, acoustically damped feet, isolating the deck from the shelf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArko tonearm.\u003c\/strong\u003e Gimballed arm made entirely of 7075 aluminum with a cold-drawn arm tube and stainless-steel through-spindle; 229 mm effective length, 10 g effective mass, 0 to 3 g downforce.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKendo cartridge.\u003c\/strong\u003e Moving coil with boron cantilever, super-fine-line stylus, 4N copper coils and a nickel-coated 7075 body matched to the Arko; 0.45 mV, 2.0 g, 100 Ω load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKarousel bearing.\u003c\/strong\u003e The single-point platter bearing fitted to every current LP12.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpgrade path.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every component fits any LP12 built since 1972; Radikal, Keel SE, Ekos SE, Ekstatik and Urika can be added singly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;margin:0 0 6px;padding:0\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#2a2a2a;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Ash\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#9a4a2a;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCherry\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#c9a66b;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOak\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#5a2f22;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosenut\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#6b4a2b;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWalnut\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:13.5px;color:#55524c\"\u003eAll five standard finishes are the same price in the smooth plinth, and we keep all five in stock.

The Klimax LP12 is the current end point of that program. The motor system is the Klimax Radikal introduced in October 2025: a precious-metal brushed DC motor with a moving-coil rotor in an acoustically isolated housing, driven by an FPGA-managed control unit that checks platter speed on every rotation and corrects it, and powered by a Utopik supply whose two self-regulating rails serve the motor and the phono stage separately. The supply is machined from three solid aluminum blocks weighing close to 14 kg and stands on high-mass stainless-steel feet, so the only electronics outside the deck are as inert as the deck itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eInside the plinth, the Keel SE is a sub-chassis and armboard machined as one piece from solid aluminum with a bracing structure cut into its underside; Linn quotes a 300 percent increase in stiffness over its earlier Keel and a center of mass rebalanced across the three suspension springs, so the arm and platter bearing move as one body on the suspension rather than flexing against each other. The Karousel single-point bearing, standard on every current LP12, carries the inner platter; the Trampolin suspended aluminum base board closes the plinth and carries the Urika II. The plinth itself is kiln-dried hardwood in Black Ash, Cherry, Oak, Rosenut or Walnut, smooth or fluted, and Linn's densified-beech Bedrok plinth is available as the remaining upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe arm is the hand-built Ekos SE: a machined titanium arm tube, a stainless-steel bearing housing, bearings with less than 20 mg of friction, and temperature-compensated springs for downforce and anti-skate so that settings hold as the room changes. It carries the Ekstatik, Linn's flagship moving coil, introduced in 2021: a micro-ridge stylus on a sapphire cantilever, a square armature wound with 4N copper, and a body machined from 7075 aluminum in a honeycomb pattern, coated in diamond-like carbon and fitted with aluminum-bronze inserts, mounted at three points to the headshell. Output is 0.45 mV at 3.54 cm\/s into a recommended 100 Ω load, at 2.0 g tracking force. From the cartridge the signal travels a few inches to the Urika II on the Trampolin, where it is digitized at once, equalized to RIAA in the digital domain with per-unit calibration, and sent losslessly over Exakt Link to a Klimax or Selekt DSM, which then applies volume, Space Optimisation and, with Exakt loudspeakers, the crossover. For a conventional preamplifier the analog Urika, with RCA and transformer-coupled XLR outputs, takes its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eReviewing this exact 2026 specification for The Ear in July 2026, Ed Selley found that congestion audible on a Selekt LP12 in the same system \"vanishes like ice on a hotplate\" and called the Klimax \"a breathtakingly capable bit of kit,\" noting that some rivals at the price reach deeper in the bass and that the deck depends on partners of matching quality. Herb Reichert in Stereophile (June 2022, with the previous Radikal and the analog Urika) described tempo, focus and immediacy as \"near-laboratory quality\" and wrote that the Klimax preserved the structure of a Miles Davis recording \"better than any turntable I've had the pleasure of hearing it on.\" Jonathan Gorse at SoundStage! Ultra (February 2025, also the previous Radikal) heard a deck \"extremely articulate, incisive, and precise\" with detail retrieval approaching the state of the art, and listed the practical points a buyer should know: the LP12 is sensitive to footfall on suspended wooden floors, setup is from below and is done by the dealer, and the analog Urika offers no gain or loading adjustment for non-Linn cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eIn a Linn system the Klimax LP12 with Urika II joins a Klimax DSM or Selekt DSM over a single Exakt Link cable and plays through 360 or 343 Exakt Integrated loudspeakers or Klimax Solo monoblocks with no analog interconnect at all. With the analog Urika it feeds any preamplifier; we also pair Klimax LP12s with Burmester, Luxman and Audio Research electronics for listeners with non-Linn systems. We build, service and upgrade Sondek LP12s in-house, set the Urika II's gain and loading for the cartridge at installation, and can bring an existing LP12 of any age to this specification one component at a time: Karousel first, then Keel SE, Radikal, Ekos SE, Ekstatik and Urika.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eLinn offers the Sondek in three complete specifications on the same deck. The Majik LP12 is the entry point with Karousel, the Krane arm and an Adikt or Koil cartridge; the Selekt LP12 adds Lingo, Kore, Trampolin, the Arko arm and the Kendo cartridge; the Klimax LP12 is every reference-level part. Choose the Selekt if you want most of the LP12's character at a third of the price and plan to upgrade later; choose the Klimax if the turntable is to be the system's primary source and you want the finished article now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKlimax Radikal (2025).\u003c\/strong\u003e Precious-metal brushed DC motor with moving-coil rotor in an isolated housing; FPGA-managed speed control checked every rotation; Utopik supply with separate self-regulating rails for motor and phono stage, machined from three solid aluminum blocks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeel SE.\u003c\/strong\u003e One-piece sub-chassis and armboard machined from solid aluminum with underside bracing; 300 percent stiffer than Linn's previous design, with a rebalanced center of mass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEkos SE.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-built tonearm with titanium arm tube, stainless-steel bearing housing, bearing friction under 20 mg and temperature-compensated downforce and anti-skate springs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEkstatik.\u003c\/strong\u003e Flagship moving coil: micro-ridge stylus on a sapphire cantilever, square 4N copper armature, honeycomb-machined 7075 aluminum body with diamond-like carbon coating and aluminum-bronze inserts, three-point mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUrika II.\u003c\/strong\u003e Phono stage inside the plinth that digitizes at the cartridge, applies RIAA with per-unit calibration in the digital domain and outputs losslessly over Exakt Link; analog Urika available instead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKarousel and Trampolin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-point platter bearing and suspended aluminum base board shared across the current LP12 range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpgrade path.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every component fits any LP12 built since 1972 and can be fitted singly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;margin:0 0 6px;padding:0\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#2a2a2a;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Ash\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#9a4a2a;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCherry\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#c9a66b;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOak\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#5a2f22;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosenut\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#6b4a2b;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWalnut\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:13.5px;color:#55524c\"\u003eAll five standard finishes are the same price in the smooth plinth, and we keep all five in stock.

In most moving-coil cartridges, tracking force pushes the coils out of line with the magnetic field. The Delos uses a pre-angled damping system and body geometry so that the coils come into proper alignment when the stylus is in the groove. A yokeless neodymium magnet drives 6N high-purity copper coils. The body is machined from a single billet of aluminum with partly non-parallel surfaces to reduce resonance, and the nude construction keeps parts to a minimum. A solid boron cantilever carries a Namiki microridge line-contact stylus for good tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eReviewers describe the Delos as fast, detailed and clean, but with enough midrange body that it never sounds thin or analytical. Michael Fremer singled out its microdynamics and three-dimensional soundstage for the money. Stereophile's Gramophone Dreams column praised its bass focus and transparency, and its ability to make even ordinary recordings engaging. The line-contact stylus is sensitive to VTA, so a tonearm with height adjustment is strongly recommended. Its 7.3 g weight and medium compliance suit most medium-mass arms. It needs an MC phono stage with about 60 dB of gain, or a step-up transformer. Loading around 100 Ω is a common starting point, but it's worth adjusting by ear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Delos is the entry to Lyra's range, below the Kleos, and it is the model most listeners start with. Lyra does not retip: when a Delos wears out, MIBS Distro, Lyra's US distributor, exchanges it for a new one at $1,750 instead of $2,495, and any other Lyra cartridge traded in brings a new Delos to $1,995.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew Angle coil geometry.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lyra's pre-angled coils, introduced on the Delos, align with the magnetic field under tracking force.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNamiki microridge stylus.\u003c\/strong\u003e A nude 2.5 × 75 µm line-contact diamond on a solid boron rod.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMachined aluminum body.\u003c\/strong\u003e A one-piece body with a narrow headshell contact area;

Most moving-coil cartridges are built so that tracking force pulls the coils slightly out of line with the magnetic field. Lyra angles the coils so that they come into perfect alignment under load, which is exactly when it matters. Around that generator sits a one-piece body machined from 7075 aircraft alloy. Its non-parallel surfaces and narrow headshell contact area dissipate resonance rather than storing it. Each Kleos is built and tested by hand in Japan, with final assembly by Yoshinori Mishima.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eOn the turntable, the Kleos sounds smooth, rich and unforced. It has well-extended bass, a full midrange and an open top end that never turns bright or etched. Its exceptionally quiet tracking lets well-loved records play with far less surface noise than you might expect. Imaging is wide, deep and three-dimensional.

Instead of a single block of titanium, it uses a machined titanium core clamped inside a tightly fitted aluminum outer body, a self-clamping, multi-material construction aimed at a more neutral body resonance. Inside, a yokeless dual-magnet system drives double-layer coils set to Lyra's pre-angled \"New Angle\" geometry, so the coils line up with the magnetic field under tracking force. A diamond-coated boron cantilever carries Lyra's own variable-radius line-contact nude diamond. The Lambda update keeps the stylus, cantilever and coils. What it changes is how the cantilever is preloaded: new flat dampers on a separate support Lyra calls the \"pillow\". These are built to tighter tolerances, and the nose piece is made from a stiffer polymer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe Absolute Sound found the Lambda far quieter in the lead-in grooves than the original Etna. It also heard more fine detail, more powerful bass, fuller orchestral timbres and a deeper soundstage, and recommended it as a top choice in its price range. The Audio Beat heard the original's natural flow and balance, now with more presence, focus and immediacy. Both reviewers found it more sensitive to setup than earlier Lyras: small changes to VTA, tracking force and anti-skate make a real difference, and it benefits from a few days of break-in before final adjustment. It suits a rigid, high-quality tonearm, ideally with VTA adjustment. It needs a quiet MC phono stage with about 60 dB of gain or more, or a step-up transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Etna λ sits between the Kleos and the flagship Atlas λ. Lyra does not retip: a worn Etna is exchanged for a new Etna λ through MIBS Distro at $6,295 instead of $10,495, and any other Lyra cartridge traded in brings it to $8,625.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3

It is a negative-feedback RIAA equalizer with a parallel FET first stage for low noise, and, unusually at the price, it handles moving-coil cartridges through built-in step-up transformers with super permalloy cores, independent for left and right, rather than through additional active gain. Two gain settings cover high-output MC at 40 Ω and low-output MC at 2.5 Ω, and MM cartridges see 38 dB with a choice of 34, 47, 56 or 100 kΩ load and 0 to 320 pF of capacitance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eTwo inputs are provided, each with its own cartridge type setting, so an owner with two turntables, or one deck with two arms, can switch between them from the front panel. A mono switch sums the channels for mono records, a low-cut switch tames the subsonic output of warped discs, and the articulator demagnetizes the cartridge and the transformer cores using the music signal current, a function Luxman says restores lost sound quality. The power supply uses a large low-profile block capacitor and a discrete regulator, and the circuit board uses Luxman's rounded trace pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eAt 364 mm wide and 81 mm tall the E-250 is a compact unit with a blasted-white aluminum front panel and lever switches, and it has collected a number of awards in Japan and elsewhere since launch.

Karousel, introduced in 2020, is Linn's third version of it, and the first for which materials and machining allowed a stainless-steel housing. The housing is locked to the sub-chassis by a substantial lock-nut; the thrust-pad housing at its base is smaller, stronger and stiffer than before, which Linn says improves the area that supports the platter's rotation and mass; and the union of platter, spindle, bearing and sub-chassis is, in Linn's words, the strongest it has achieved. The result is smoother, more stable rotation and less vibration reaching the record, which Linn describes as vinyl reproduction more accurate and detailed than before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eEvery reviewer of a current LP12 has heard Karousel at work, since it is fitted to every new Sondek from the Majik to the Klimax. Hi-Fi News measured a Majik LP12 built on it in 2021 at −70 dB of rumble through the groove with peak wow and flutter of 0.02 and 0.04 percent; Chris Kelly, reviewing the Klimax LP12 for The Ear in 2022, singled out \"upgrading to the Karousel bearing\" as the kind of change that keeps older decks current; and Herb Reichert in Stereophile found the Karousel-equipped Klimax's tempo, focus and immediacy \"near-laboratory quality.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eKarousel is sold as a kit with the current-specification inner platter for retrofit to any earlier LP12. Two cautions from Linn: it must not be used with a Valhalla or Wakonda supply or a third-party supply fitted inside the deck, and older outer platters may need replacing to match the new inner platter. Fitting is a workshop job, since the bearing is set into the sub-chassis and the suspension must be set up afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eOn Linn's upgrade path the bearing comes first, and Karousel is the one component that applies to every deck regardless of its other parts.

The motor, built from small, low-noise components, sits in an acoustic housing that decouples it from the deck, and its electromagnetic field is negligible beside an AC motor's. A tachometer under the platter reads its speed, and the controller checks and adjusts the motor on every rotation, calibrating 33⅓ rpm on first power-up and then holding what Linn describes as a sustained, uniform rotation closer to 33⅓ than any turntable. It runs at 33⅓ and 45 rpm, and it supplies the power for Linn's Urika and Urika II phono stages inside the plinth, which cannot be fitted without a Radikal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe first Radikal of 2009 was, in Art Dudley's words in Stereophile, \"revelatory: the most significant step I've heard in the LP12's evolution,\" adding \"more force, more momentum, a little more sheer grip on the notes\" while its control unit was \"quick to notice and correct\" any speed drift. The 2021 generation that followed brought a new motor and control unit, and the current Radikals carry that design forward. This is the Radikal in Linn's standard enclosure, the full-width case that matches Akurate-series electronics. The same motor and control electronics are available in the machined Klimax Radikal, which adds a Utopik supply with separate rails for motor and phono stage in a chassis cut from three solid blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eChoose the standard Radikal for the motor and speed control at the lower price, with the option of adding a Urika or Urika II now or later; the Klimax Radikal is the reference. On Linn's upgrade path the Radikal follows the Lingo and precedes the Keel SE. The motors of the 2009 and later Radikals are not interchangeable, so an LP12 moving up from an early Radikal has its motor changed as part of the fitting; the controller is then calibrated at 33⅓ on first power-up, which we do in our Portland workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrushed DC motor.\u003c\/strong\u003e Low-noise motor in an acoustic housing, decoupled from the deck, with negligible electromagnetic interference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFPGA motor control.\u003c\/strong\u003e Speed read by a tachometer and corrected on every rotation;

The arm tube is machined from titanium, which smooths the resonant behavior of a conventional alloy tube. The main pillar and bearing housing are stainless steel, holding the ultra-low-friction bearings, specified at less than 20 mg in both planes, in precise adjustment as the room warms or the deck is moved. Downforce and anti-skate are set by temperature-compensated precision springs, so the arm tracks the same at the end of the evening as at the start. Each arm is built by hand, and the long headshell accepts almost any cartridge; Linn's recommended partners are its own Ekstatik and Kendo. A T-Kable is supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eArt Dudley, reviewing the Ekos SE for Stereophile at its launch, found that \"the newer arm was clearly better than its predecessor at allowing phono cartridges to perform at their best,\" with his Akiva tracking difficult passages more cleanly than in the original Ekos.

The circuit is dual mono. Gain is fixed at 62.5 dB and the input load at 75 Ω in parallel with 10 nF, values chosen for Linn's low-output moving coils and suited to many others; RIAA accuracy is ±0.15 dB. Power and control come from the Radikal, which also drives the LP12's DC motor, so a Radikal is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eOutputs are a pair of direct-coupled RCA at 300 Ω and a pair of transformer-coupled balanced XLR at 600 Ω, so Urika feeds any analog preamplifier. Herb Reichert reviewed a Klimax LP12 fitted with Urika and the machined Radikal for Stereophile and found its tempo, focus and immediacy \"near-laboratory quality.\" Urika is not adjustable and does not take moving magnet cartridges; it is built for Linn's MC range and comparable low-output designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eUrika is the analog of Linn's two internal phono stages. If your system is built around a Linn DS or DSM with Exakt Link, the Urika II digitizes the signal inside the deck instead; if you use a conventional preamplifier, Urika is the one.

It converts the cartridge signal to digital at the earliest possible point and applies the RIAA curve in the digital domain, which Linn says gives the most precise implementation of the curve and lower distortion and noise than an analog network. Each unit is measured at the factory and its analog tolerances corrected in software. The music travels losslessly over Exakt Link to a Linn DS or DSM with Exakt sockets, staying digital until the player's DAC or the Exakt speakers; a Toslink output at 24-bit\/192 kHz is available alongside, but only while Exakt Link is connected, since the link supplies the clock and power triggers. A Radikal supplies the power, and the Urika II runs only while the platter turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eAt installation your dealer selects the cartridge in Linn's software from a preset list, which includes Linn's own cartridges and a number of popular moving coils from Dynavector, Lyra, Benz, EMT, Audio-Technica and others, or enters gain, input resistance and capacitance by hand. Change cartridges and you change the settings, not the hardware. Alan Sircom, reviewing Urika II for Hi-Fi+, concluded that \"the detail, the timing, and the atomic-clock like precision win,\" and that \"if you like the Urika, you'll want the Urika II.\" It is the phono stage Linn specifies for the Klimax LP12, which Ed Selley reviewed for The Ear in 2026 as \"a breathtakingly capable bit of kit.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eUrika II needs an Exakt-enabled Linn DS or DSM in the system: a Klimax DSM or either Selekt DSM hub.

The sub-chassis is a box of three 1.5 mm aluminum layers bonded with a Linn-specified adhesive into a structure that is very stiff for its weight. The armboard is machined from solid aluminum and ribbed underneath, then bonded to the sub-chassis so the two act as a single piece, and the arm collar bolts straight to the sub-chassis rather than to a separate laminated board. The tonearm therefore has a direct, rigid connection to the bearing, and the energy the cartridge generates has somewhere to go other than back into the stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eLinn fits Kore to the Selekt LP12, and reviewers of that deck have heard the result as a whole. Alan Sircom in Hi-Fi+ found \"a very crisp, fast and precise sound\" and a deck that \"does 'detailed' and 'fun' like they were going out of fashion\"; Michael Evans at StereoNET heard strong, taut bass and lively rhythm and scored it 9.5 out of 10. Before the Selekt existed, Kore was the sub-chassis of the Akurate LP12, which Long Live Vinyl reviewed in 2017 with Lingo, Trampolin, Akito and Krystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eAs an upgrade to a Majik LP12, Kore is a clear step and the natural partner of the Lingo and the Arko, and it is available in versions for Linn arms (Ekos SE, Ekos, Akito, Ittok and Arko) and for Rega, SME and Naim arms. Fitting involves a full suspension setup, which we do in-house.

Lingo, the current version of a name Linn has used since 1990, uses digital processing to manage the speed of the LP12's AC motor: a tachometer reads the platter, the controller corrects the drive on every rotation, and the motor is recalibrated each time the deck is switched on. Earlier Lingos generated a clean two-phase sine wave and then left the motor to itself; this one closes the loop, which is why Linn describes the technology as derived from the Radikal. The control circuitry mounts inside the plinth and is fed by a slimline external supply that can be hidden, and a 12 V synchronous motor is supplied in place of the 110 V unit. It switches between 33⅓ and 45 rpm from the deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eAlan Sircom reviewed the Lingo 4 against a Lingo 3 for Hi-Fi+ in 2018 and found that \"everything just gets that bit tauter and more focussed\" while the character of the deck was unchanged, concluding that \"the Lingo 4 is the best LP12 power supply that still features an AC motor.\" It is the supply in the Selekt LP12, whose reviewers heard a deck that was \"crisp, fast and precise\" (Hi-Fi+) and \"a highly emotional performer\" (StereoNET), and it was the supply of the Akurate LP12 before it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eAs an upgrade it replaces the Majik supply or any earlier Lingo, Valhalla or Basik, and the new motor comes with it. The next step, the Radikal, moves to a DC motor and is required for Linn's internal Urika phono stages; a Lingo owner who later moves to Radikal keeps everything else. Fitting involves changing the motor and setting up the suspension, which we do in our Portland workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigital speed management.\u003c\/strong\u003e Speed checked on every rotation and recalibrated at every power-on, derived from the Radikal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid layout.\u003c\/strong\u003e Control board inside the plinth, slimline external power supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo speeds.\u003c\/strong\u003e 33⅓ and 45 rpm switched from the deck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew motor.\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied with a 12 V synchronous AC motor replacing the 110 V unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFourth generation.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lingo (1990), Lingo 2, Lingo 3 and the 2018 Lingo; Linn now drops the number.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdetails open style=\"border-top:1px solid #080808;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:600\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 14px\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eFits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eSondek LP12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003e33⅓ and 45 rpm, switched\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eSpeed control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eDigital, checked every rotation, auto-calibrating at power-on\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003e12 V synchronous AC motor, supplied\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eLayout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eInternal control board; external slimline power supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eFitted as standard to\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eSelekt LP12 (and the earlier Akurate LP12)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eIntroduced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eFebruary 2018 (Linn documentation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eDimensions and weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eNot published by Linn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;font-size:13px\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.linn.co.uk\/us\/turntables\/components\/lingo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLinn Lingo product page\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:14px 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eUpgrade path\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-size:14px\"\u003eEvery Sondek LP12 built since 1972 shares the same plinth geometry, so each part below bolts into any deck.

The generator sits without a housing on a chassis machined from 7075 aluminum, so moving mass and inertia stay low and the stylus can follow the groove quickly. A Vital Fine Line nude diamond rides on an aluminum tube cantilever with a cross armature and copper coils. Linn's triple-point mounting clamps the cartridge to the headshell at three points, and even the adhesive was chosen for the stiffest bond so that nothing in the structure absorbs detail. Output is 0.5 mV into 50 to 200 Ω.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eIn Linn's range Krystal sits above the Adikt and Koil and below the Kendo and Ekstatik, and Linn describes its character as a highly musical presentation with increased agility.

Moving magnet and moving coil cartridges get separate, dedicated inputs and circuits, each on RCA and balanced XLR. Gain is switched between +44 and +48 dB for MM and +54 and +64 dB for MC; MM loading offers four resistances around 47 kΩ and eight capacitances from 68 to 325 pF, and MC loading eleven resistances from 31 Ω to 1 kΩ with four capacitances from 470 pF to 2 nF. RIAA accuracy is ±0.2 dB, signal-to-noise better than 105 dB on both inputs and THD+N better than 0.015 percent. Outputs are RCA at 300 Ω and balanced XLR at 600 Ω, and a Linn Dynamik switch-mode supply powers it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eJimmy Hughes, reviewing the Uphorik for TechRadar, heard \"a sound that's neutral and natural, yet colourful and full of incident\" and summed it up: \"The Uphorik gives you the plain truth – it reveals but does not embellish.\" The range of adjustment means it will take an Adikt today and an Ekstatik later without being replaced, and the balanced path suits a T-Kable in XLR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eUphorik is the entry to Linn's three phono stages.

Linn's standard version, fitted to the Majik LP12 and sold on Linn's list as the Standard Sub-Chassis, is a sandwich-construction box folded from 1.5 mm aluminum, strong and rigid for its weight, and it pairs with the five-layer laminated armboard to give the tonearm a firm, acoustically damped base.

The Majik LP12 power supply, introduced in 2007, is the current internal version. It fits entirely inside the plinth, filters mains noise that would otherwise show up as motor judder and pitch wander, and gives the 110 V synchronous motor consistent, low-noise power at a fixed 33⅓ rpm; singles are played with the pulley adaptor. Linn fits it to the Majik LP12 and sells it separately as a replacement for the Basik and Valhalla supplies of older decks. The motor is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eHi-Fi News measured a Majik LP12 running on this supply in 2021 at 0.22 percent speed accuracy with peak wow and flutter of 0.02 and 0.04 percent, figures the magazine considered creditable for an AC-motor deck at the price. On Linn's upgrade path the Majik supply is the base; the Lingo adds digital speed management and a switched 45 rpm, and the Radikal replaces the AC motor altogether with a DC motor and the supply a Urika needs. For an older LP12 that still runs its original supply, or whose Valhalla board has failed, this is the least expensive route to current specification, and a Karousel bearing can be fitted at the same visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal supply.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits inside the LP12 plinth with no external box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMains filtering.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cleaner power to the AC motor for steadier speed and less judder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle speed.\u003c\/strong\u003e 33⅓ rpm, with 45 rpm by pulley adaptor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetrofit.\u003c\/strong\u003e Replaces the Basik and Valhalla supplies of earlier decks; the AC motor is reused.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdetails open style=\"border-top:1px solid #080808;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:600\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 14px\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eFits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eSondek LP12 (internal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003e33⅓ rpm; 45 rpm with pulley adaptor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eFor the LP12 110 V synchronous AC motor; motor not included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eMeasured in a Majik LP12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eSpeed within 0.22%; peak wow 0.02%, flutter 0.04% (Hi-Fi News, 2021)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eFitted as standard to\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eMajik LP12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eIntroduced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eDecember 2007 (Linn documentation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eDimensions and weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eNot published by Linn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;font-size:13px\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.linn.co.uk\/us\/turntables\/components\/majik-lp12-power-supply\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLinn Majik LP12 Power Supply product page\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:14px 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eUpgrade path\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-size:14px\"\u003eEvery Sondek LP12 built since 1972 shares the same plinth geometry, so each part below bolts into any deck.

The Solid Base is Linn's fixed version: an aluminum plate that bolts directly to the hardwood plinth. Linn specifies it where the turntable stands on a wall shelf, a cabinet or an isolating rack that provides its own decoupling, and it is the board fitted to every new Majik LP12.

We have supplied LP12s in red, pink, blue and gloss black among others, and two painted decks are usually on display in our Portland showroom. Painted plinths are built to order at Linn's personalisation charge of US$468 over the standard plinth, so allow a few weeks for the factory. If the plinth itself is to be a performance upgrade rather than a cosmetic one, Linn's Bedrok, made of densified beech, is the alternative. Fitting a plinth means stripping and rebuilding the deck and re-setting the suspension, which we do in our Portland workshop; we keep all five standard finishes in stock so the work is not held up by a factory order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKiln-dried hardwood.\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Ash, Cherry, Oak, Rosenut or Walnut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo styles.\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, or fluted in the style of the original Sondek.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePainted to order.\u003c\/strong\u003e Any color to a paint code you supply, US$468 over the standard plinth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal fit.\u003c\/strong\u003e The same plinth carries every LP12 specification from Majik to Klimax.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;margin:0 0 6px;padding:0\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#2a2a2a;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Ash\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#9a4a2a;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCherry\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#c9a66b;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOak\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#5a2f22;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosenut\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#6b4a2b;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWalnut\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:conic-gradient(#c8102e,#e75480,#1f5fbf,#f2c200,#c8102e);border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePainted\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003eany color to the paint code you supply, made to order, US$468 extra\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:13.5px;color:#55524c\"\u003eThe five standard finishes are the same price in the smooth plinth; the fluted plinth is US$1,390 on Linn's April 2026 US list.

Trampolin replaces the fixed base board with a rigid aluminum plate whose feet are suspended on acoustic damping material, so the whole deck is decoupled from the shelf below it before the springs do their work. Linn fits it to the Selekt and Klimax LP12, and builds the Urika and Urika II phono stages onto their own integrated Trampolin boards. Art Dudley, reviewing the first Trampolin for Stereophile in 2007, described \"four diaphragm-style feet to isolate the player from disturbances in the sub-40Hz range\" and called the design \"simple, and seemingly effective.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eChoose Trampolin when the LP12 sits on ordinary furniture, on a suspended wooden floor, or on a rack that passes footfall and loudspeaker energy up into the deck; choose the Solid Base when the shelf already isolates. It fits any LP12, including a 1973 original, it is one of the least expensive changes on Linn's upgrade path, and it is a short job on our bench.

It is static-balanced and hand-assembled from aluminum and stainless-steel parts. The vertical bearing is polished tungsten on sapphire, the horizontal bearing a dual ceramic assembly; Hi-Fi News measured friction below 10 mg with no perceptible play. A laser-etched scale makes VTA settings repeatable, azimuth is adjustable, the offset angle is fixed, and an adjustable three-point headshell sets the effective length exactly. Anti-skate is a magnetic mechanism on the side of the arm, with no thread or weight to catch. Connection is a 5-pin DIN for a Linn tonearm cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eHi-Fi News measured the arm's effective mass at 10 g, which suits the Adikt moving magnet and Koil moving coil Linn fits to the Majik LP12, and most medium-compliance cartridges. Reviewing the Majik LP12\/Krane package, the magazine called the arm and cartridge modest parts that let the Sondek perform, in a deck that \"makes music sound natural, unforced, easy and yet expressive and emotional,\" and What Hi-Fi?, testing the MC version with the Koil in 2024, found the presentation \"fluid and wonderfully cohesive.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eKrane is the first of Linn's three current tonearms, below the Arko of the Selekt LP12 and the Ekos SE of the Klimax.

The input circuit is symmetrical and the second stage runs a higher-bias output with auto bias, as in the XP-22. Three gain settings reach 76 dB balanced (70 dB single-ended), enough for moving-coil cartridges down to about 0.2 mV, and rear-panel switches set 256 resistive loads from 10 Ω to 47 kΩ and capacitance from 100 to 750 pF, so almost any cartridge can be matched exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003ePass specifies RIAA accuracy within ±0.1 dB, distortion of 0.004% and output impedances of 110 Ω single-ended and 220 Ω balanced, with both XLR and RCA outputs.

The amplification sits on plug-in phono modules: one input is supplied, set up as moving magnet or moving coil at order, and a second module can be added so two tonearms or two cartridges share the unit, selected by a front-panel toggle. Each module offers gain in six steps, 37 to 52 dB for MM and 57 to 72 dB for MC, with resistive loading for moving coils from 33 Ω to 47 kΩ in six positions and capacitive loading for moving magnets from 68 to 400 pF, all adjustable while a record plays. The inputs are balanced XLR, with RCA adapters supplied for conventional tonearm cables. The 100's distinctive feature is automatic channel calibration: play the supplied Burmester Reference Check record and the unit measures the cartridge and corrects channel imbalance of up to 6 dB in 0.2 dB steps. A switchable subsonic filter handles warped discs and a phase switch is provided. The outputs are balanced XLR and RCA, switchable between fixed and variable level, so the 100 can drive a power amplifier directly. An optional analog-to-digital module records to a computer over USB at 24-bit resolution and 48, 96 or 192 kHz, with coaxial and optical digital outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eReviewers return to how quiet it is. Jeff Dorgay at TONEAudio compared it with other top-tier phono stages and found that \"the 100 exceeded the other two in terms of dynamic contrast and the lowest noise floor,\" with the tonal richness he associates with Burmester electronics. What Hi-Fi? called it \"one of the finest phono stages money can buy,\" describing \"a huge soundstage\" packed with precisely focused and layered instruments and noting that it \"adds very little hiss to the sound, even on its higher gain settings.\" Both heard a presentation that is slightly warm and full rather than lean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe 100 suits a serious vinyl listener with one or two turntables, especially one running low-output moving coils, and its balanced inputs favor balanced tonearm wiring. It feeds any of Burmester's preamplifiers over XLR, or runs straight into a 216 or 218 power amplifier using its variable output.

Keel SE is machined by Linn from solid aluminum, with a bracing structure cut into the underside that was arrived at by a mix of manual and computer-aided optimization. Linn quotes a 300 percent increase in stiffness over its previous designs, which pushes resonances higher in frequency and lowers their energy, and it added rigidity and mass along the path from the Karousel bearing to the arm collar to reduce tracking distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eLinn also removed material from calculated areas beneath the armboard so that the center of mass sits more evenly on the three springs. That improves the balance of the suspension, reduces inertia and, according to Linn, improves acoustic isolation, so less unwanted energy reaches the cartridge. The lineage matters: the original Keel of 2006 was the first one-piece sub-chassis, armboard and collar, and Art Dudley found at the time that because its mass matched the parts it replaced, the suspension set up exactly as before; Keel SE keeps that property while changing the structure underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eEd Selley reviewed the Klimax LP12 with Keel SE fitted for The Ear in 2026 and found that, against a Selekt LP12 in the same system, congestion \"vanishes like ice on a hotplate,\" calling the deck \"a breathtakingly capable bit of kit.\" Keel SE replaced the Keel in October 2025 and is fitted to every new Klimax LP12.

A nude Microlinear diamond sits on a low-mass boron cantilever and drives a trapezial armature wound with copper; output is 0.4 mV at 5 cm\/s into a 100 Ω, 1 nF load, so it needs a moving coil input, which a Selekt or Klimax DSM, an Uphorik or a Urika provides.

Its two output rails are separate and self-regulating: one feeds the motor and the FPGA-managed control unit, the other feeds a Urika or Urika II phono stage inside the plinth, so a sudden demand on one cannot disturb the other. The brushed DC motor, with its small, low-noise components, sits in an acoustic housing that decouples it from the deck, and the controller reads a tachometer under the platter to check and correct speed on every rotation, sustaining what Linn describes as rotation closer to 33⅓ rpm than any turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe chassis is machined from three pieces of solid aluminum and weighs close to 14 kg, standing on high-mass stainless-steel feet with rubber ring inserts; Linn's purpose is electrical and mechanical isolation of the supply from the room. A status roundel on the front has brightness switches at the back, and an enhanced mode applies a −25 dB soft mute to the phono stage while the deck starts and stops. The lineage is worth knowing: Art Dudley called the first Radikal of 2009 \"revelatory: the most significant step I've heard in the LP12's evolution,\" and Ed Selley's 2026 review of the Klimax LP12 for The Ear, with this Radikal fitted, called the deck \"a breathtakingly capable bit of kit.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Klimax Radikal is the top of Linn's LP12 power supplies, above the Lingo and the Radikal (Standard), and it is fitted to every Klimax LP12. For an existing Selekt or an older Klimax it is the largest single upgrade on Linn's path, and Linn also lists a Utopik upgrade for the 2021 machined Radikal and a performance upgrade with the latest control unit for earlier Radikals. The 2025 motor is not interchangeable with the 2009 Radikal's, so fitting includes a motor change where needed, followed by calibration on our bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUtopik power supply.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two separate, self-regulating rails: motor and controller on one, Urika phono stage on the other.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFPGA motor control.\u003c\/strong\u003e Platter speed checked and adjusted on every rotation;

Until Bedrok, Linn's plinths were kiln-dried hardwood in five finishes; Bedrok is the first plinth offered as a performance upgrade. Layers of beech are laid in alternating directions and fused under extreme pressure and heat into an engineered wood with more than double the density of a standard plinth, which Linn describes as uniformly solid, heavy and ultra-low in resonance. That gives the bearing, motor, suspension and arm a steadier foundation and, in Linn's words, more pace, tighter bass and greater insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eBedrok can be ordered as the plinth of a new Klimax, Selekt or Majik LP12, as a complete Bedrok deck with Karousel, top plate and platters, or, as listed here, as a plinth alone to replace the one on an existing Sondek. Fitting is a full rebuild, which we do in our Portland workshop.

The input and gain circuits are similar to those of the Xs Phono, with active gain stages rather than step-up transformers and three settings of 56, 66 or 76 dB. Each channel is loaded independently from the front panel: resistive loading from 30 Ω to 1 kΩ in eight steps for moving coils plus 47 kΩ for moving magnets, and capacitance from 100 to 750 pF in six steps. Input selection, gain, a low-cut filter and mute are also on the front panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003ePass specifies RIAA accuracy within ±0.1 dB, distortion below 0.005% at 1 mV MC input, unweighted noise of -85 dB referenced to 1 mV (MC) and -93 dB referenced to 10 mV (MM), and a 22 V maximum output from a 150 Ω source. Stereophile's Jim Austin reported designer Wayne Colburn's account of the changes from the XP-25: lower-noise resistors, upgraded capacitors, a revised power supply and a gain control that no longer affects the RIAA equalization, improvements that fall below the analyzer's measurement range but are audible as lower noise and better bass. Part-Time Audiophile called the XP-27 the most authoritative phono stage in its test and gave it a Reviewer's Choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eTwo inputs make the XP-27 the choice for a two-arm turntable or two decks, and front-panel loading makes dialing in a new cartridge a matter of minutes from the listening chair.

Every part of the arm wand is 7075-grade aluminum: the headshell, machined with weight-reduction pockets, the cold-drawn arm tube and the gimbal itself. Using one material from end to end gives the arm, in Linn's words, superb resonant behavior, with energy moving away from the cartridge and out through the sub-chassis rather than reflecting back. The counterweight is machined stainless steel shaped to cut inertia, and the through-spindle is a single piece of polished stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eWith a 10 g effective mass and a 2 to 10 g cartridge range, Arko suits Linn's moving coils and most medium-compliance designs. Linn recommends the aluminum-bodied Kendo, whose matching material continues the energy path out of the generator, and fits the pair to the Selekt LP12. Reviewers of that deck heard the combination as \"very crisp, fast and precise\" (Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+) and \"a highly emotional performer\" (Michael Evans, StereoNET, 9.5\/10). Arko uses Linn's standard LP12 geometry, 229 mm with 18 mm overhang and 24 degrees of offset, and mounts on any current Linn sub-chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eArko sits between the Krane of the Majik LP12 and the hand-built titanium Ekos SE of the Klimax. For a Majik owner it is the arm upgrade Linn intends, and it is a natural partner for the Kore sub-chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGimbal bearing platform.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bearings held concentric and aligned for free movement and stable tracking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7075 aluminum throughout.\u003c\/strong\u003e Headshell, cold-drawn arm tube and gimbal in one alloy to carry resonance away from the cartridge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePocketed headshell.\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined weight-reduction pockets for lower moving mass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless-steel counterweight and spindle.\u003c\/strong\u003e Counterweight shaped to reduce inertia;

Linn tried bodies, inserts, cantilevers, suspensions, windings and leads in turn before settling on this combination. The stylus is a micro-ridge diamond on a sapphire cantilever, stiffer than boron or aluminum, so less energy is lost between stylus and generator. The armature is square and wound with 4N copper. The body is machined from 7075 aluminum with a honeycomb cut that brings its mass to about 7 g, finished in a diamond-like carbon coating that stiffens it further, and fitted with aluminum-bronze inserts that Linn's listening tests showed drained unwanted energy out of the generator into the arm and sub-chassis. Triple-point mounting with flying leads completes it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eLinn designed Ekstatik with the Ekos SE in mind and fits the pair to the Klimax LP12. Herb Reichert, in Stereophile, described \"the not-subtle sonic impact of Linn's new flagship moving coil cartridge\" and a first record that \"jumped into the room with its fantastic, uber-detailed, high-presence energy.\" Chris Kelly in The Ear called the Klimax LP12 with Ekstatik \"the very best turntable that Linn has ever produced,\" and Ed Selley's 2026 review of the current deck called it \"a breathtakingly capable bit of kit.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eEkstatik replaced the Kandid at the top of Linn's cartridges, above the Kendo and Krystal.

It is one of the brand's classic open-body designs and is still made in limited numbers in Switzerland. Benz leaves off the housing and mounts its iron-cross generator directly in a slim aluminum chassis. That keeps moving mass and stored resonance to a minimum. A 0.28 mm solid boron cantilever carries a mirror-polished nude line-contact diamond. This is the kind of hardware usually found on cartridges costing far more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eReviewers keep coming back to the same word for it: honest. The Glider adds a touch of warmth in the lower midrange and bass and keeps the treble airy, never dry or etched. It also brings out a surprising amount of low-level detail and texture. It works best in a medium-mass tonearm, and it needs an MC phono stage with plenty of gain (about 60–65 dB) or a step-up transformer. If your phono stage gain is more modest, the Glider SM (0.8 mV) and Glider SH (2.5 mV, MM-input compatible) offer the same design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Glider is the entry to the Benz range Pearl Audio stocks, and the Zebra Wood above it adds a wooden body to the same generator.

At just 3.5 Ω, its coils are a natural match for step-up transformers, current-mode (transimpedance) phono stages and fixed-load MC inputs, as well as conventional high-gain stages. The generator is housed in a vented, machined myrtle wood frame chosen for its mechanical damping. A 0.28 mm solid boron cantilever carries a mirror-polished nude line-contact diamond. It is hand-built in Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eBenz voices the Ref-S for a rich, detailed and musical presentation, in keeping with the brand's warm house sound. Setup is forgiving on the electrical side. With a recommended load anywhere from 50 Ω up, it isn't fussy about loading. Its low 0.26 mV output does mean you need real gain: plan on a quiet MC stage with 60 dB or more, a step-up transformer, or a transimpedance stage. It suits a medium- to high-mass tonearm. It is a smart choice if you already own a step-up transformer or a current-mode phono stage and want a cartridge that plays to its strengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Ref-S sits between the Zebra Wood and the Gullwing, and its 0.26 mV output asks for a quiet phono stage with 65 dB or more of gain or a good step-up transformer. Sierra Sound's trade-in program takes 10% off for any working cartridge, 20% for a Benz ACE, Glider or Wood, and 30% for a worn Ref-S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0

The headline change is a new tapered aluminum cantilever with higher rigidity and less mass at the tip, carrying the same nude diamond Shibata stylus. The yoke, pole pieces and gold-plated terminal pins are now cryogenically treated, a process borrowed from the Umami Red, Umami Blue and ML. The body is reshaped along the lines of the M Series, damped with a matte soft-feel black elastomeric paint, and topped with a brass cap that carries threaded mounting holes. That cap raises the weight from the original's 5 g to 8.6 g, which Hana says gives better coupling and compatibility with a wider range of tonearms. The biggest change inside is the generator: the SL MK II uses the Alnico cross-coil design found in the Umami Blue and ML, wound with high-purity 30-micron copper wire for an 8 Ω impedance. Output is 0.4 mV. Hana says the new generator improves signal-to-noise, reduces moving mass for better resolution and tracking, and suits a broader range of phono stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe Absolute Sound gave the SL MK II a 2025 Golden Ear Award. Andre Jennings heard admirable harmonic richness, very good transparency and excellent soundstage depth, with bass that is more agile and extends deeper than the original SL, bringing the cartridge a few steps closer to neutral than the old SL's warmer balance. It plays well with every kind of music. Plan on an MC phono stage with about 60 to 66 dB of gain or a step-up transformer, loaded at 80 Ω or higher; 100 Ω is a good starting point. At 8.6 g and 10 × 10⁻⁶ cm\/dyne compliance it is a medium-compliance cartridge for medium-mass tonearms. As with any Shibata, careful alignment and adjustable arm height pay off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe SL MK II is Hana's best seller and sits between the EL and the ML. On a trade-in, Musical Surroundings takes 30% off a new SL MK II for a worn SL, 20% off for any other Hana, Clearaudio or DS Audio cartridge, and 10% off for any other brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3

The stylus is a nude Microline tip that mimics the cutting stylus and sits more precisely in the groove. The body is injection-molded Delrin (POM) with an integral machined brass cap for constrained-layer damping and threaded mounting fittings; the cap takes the weight to 9.5 g for better coupling to a wider range of arms. The pure-iron magnetic circuit, including the front yoke and center and rear parts, is cryogenically treated for a more linear magnetic field, and the coils are wound with high-purity copper wire. The magnet is Alnico, the cantilever aluminum. The ML's generator is the low-impedance design shared with the Umami Blue, wound with very high-purity copper for an 8 Ω coil and 0.4 mV output; Hana says it was adopted to match a broader range of phono preamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eHerb Reichert in Stereophile called the ML an artfully engineered cartridge that loves all music and a fantastic bargain, and Michael Fremer at Analog Planet found it a clear leap beyond the SL. The Audio Beatnik simply found it a joy to use. The ML needs an MC phono stage with about 60 to 66 dB of gain or a step-up transformer, loaded above 100 Ω; 100 to 200 Ω is a good place to start. At 9.5 g and 10 × 10⁻⁶ cm\/dyne compliance it suits medium-mass tonearms, and the threaded brass cap makes mounting simple. The Microline tip wants precise alignment and an arm with adjustable height, and it rewards clean records. If your phono stage has only MM gain, the MH is the same cartridge with 2 mV of output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe ML sits above the SL MK II and below the Umami Blue, whose low-impedance generator it shares. On a trade-in, Musical Surroundings takes 30% off a new ML or MH for a worn one, 20% off for any other Hana, Clearaudio or DS Audio cartridge, and 10% off for any other brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3

It combines the zebra wood body of the Ruby Z with the iron-cross generator of the Wood series. Zebra wood is denser than the wood Benz used before, and the vented, machined body helps control resonance. Inside, a 0.28 mm solid boron cantilever carries a mirror-polished nude line-contact diamond. Each one is hand-built in Switzerland. The Zebra L is the low-output version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe iron-cross generator gives the Zebra Wood the warm, sweet tonal balance Benz is known for. It is an easy cartridge to live with across many systems and kinds of music. It works best in a medium- to high-mass tonearm. At 0.4 mV, it needs an MC phono stage with plenty of gain (about 60 dB or more) or a step-up transformer. Loading is flexible, from 100 Ω up. If your phono stage gain is more modest, the Zebra M (0.8 mV) and Zebra H (2.5 mV, MM-input compatible) offer the same design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Zebra Wood is the step up from the Glider: the same iron-cross generator in a wooden body that adds body and warmth.

It shares the range's high-output generator and hand-polished ebony body. It adds a boron cantilever and a Shibata-profile diamond, a fine line-contact shape that traces the groove more closely than an elliptical. Its compliance is a little higher than its siblings', and channel balance is held to 0.3 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eStereophile's Michael Fremer found the Maestro V2 unusually fast and clean for a moving magnet, with a rich, open, detailed midrange. He could listen for hours without fatigue. Orchestral weight and male voices impressed him, and it beat a well-known rival MM for dynamics and slam. A good moving coil still goes further in top-end air and extension. With 3.6 mV of output, it runs into any standard MM input at 47 kΩ. Clearaudio rates it at 100 pF, and your tonearm cable already adds some of that. A medium-mass tonearm and 2.2 g tracking force are the place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Maestro V2 sits above the Virtuoso V2 and below the flagship Charisma V2.1.

The whole setup sounded nimble, smooth and quiet, with crisp attacks, natural timbres and a low noise floor. It was set up at Clearaudio's 2.8 g tracking force. Output is about 0.5 mV, so use an MC phono stage with around 60 dB of gain or a step-up transformer. Its medium compliance suits rigid medium-mass tonearms, ideally one with easy VTA adjustment for the line-contact stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Stradivari V2.1 sits between the Concerto V2.1 and the Jubilee MC.

It will not flatter a bright system, so it is best with speakers that are not forward up top. Setup takes care. Track at about 2.8 g, and reviewers liked it loaded between roughly 160 and 300 Ω. The long cantilever makes overhang critical, so check your tonearm's headshell slots before you buy. An arm with on-the-fly VTA adjustment helps, too. You'll need an MC phono stage with about 60 dB of gain or a step-up transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe da Vinci V2.1 sits between the Jubilee MC and the Titanium V2.1.

The body is satin-finished Satiné wood with a metal inlay. Clearaudio shapes it to make the most of the space inside for the generator. A boron cantilever carries a Clearaudio Prime Line diamond, a fine line-contact profile. At 7 g, the whole cartridge is light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe Concerto is a medium-compliance, low-output moving coil. It needs an MC phono stage with around 60 dB of gain or a step-up transformer, and its 50 Ω internal impedance gives you a wide range of loading to experiment with. Like other Clearaudio moving coils, it is set up at a relatively high 2.8 g. It suits a rigid medium-mass tonearm with easy VTA adjustment, which helps you get the most from the line-contact stylus. Above it in the range sit the Stradivari V2.1 (ebony) and the Jubilee MC (Panzerholz).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Concerto V2.1 sits between the Talisman V2.1 Gold and the Stradivari V2.1. On a trade-in, Musical Surroundings takes 20% off a new Clearaudio for any Clearaudio, Hana or DS Audio cartridge (or with one of its turntable packages) and 10% off for any other brand; a worn

Its body is Panzerholz, a very dense laminated wood with low resonance. Each body is specially lacquered and polished, a finish Clearaudio says draws on the violin makers of nearby Bubenreuth. Inside are 24-karat gold coils arranged symmetrically about the pivot. A boron cantilever carries a Clearaudio Prime Line diamond, and channel separation is better than 32 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eHi-Fi News heard deep, controlled bass, quick but not aggressive treble and a natural midrange that gives voices real presence. It called the Jubilee a hybrid of contemporary precision and the warm midrange of classic designs. The lab report recommends a fairly low effective-mass tonearm despite the 2.8 g tracking force, and loading of about 50–100 Ω. Output is about 0.5 mV, so use an MC phono stage with around 60 dB of gain or a step-up transformer.

The DS 003 cartridge reads the groove with light: a beryllium shading plate on an aluminum cantilever moves between an LED and a photodetector, with its own pair for each channel, so there are no magnets or coils and no magnetic drag on the cantilever. Output is 70 mV at 1 kHz from a line-contact stylus, the body is A5052 aluminum with a stainless steel cantilever holder, channel separation is 27 dB or more, and it tracks at 2.0 to 2.2 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe DS 003 Equalizer powers the cartridge through the tonearm cable and delivers 500 mV at line level to two pairs of RCA outputs, with a four-position low-cut selector to tailor the deep bass to your room and speakers. Its board is thicker and carries heavier copper than the previous generation, and it is hand-built in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eWhat Hi-Fi? reviewed this exact pair and found it clear, precise and expressive, with deep, punchy bass and strong dynamics, and called it hard to beat for the money. The Absolute Sound's Tom Martin heard a neutral, transparent sound with wide, deep imaging. Hi-Fi News found that the Master3 cartridge sounded very similar on this equalizer as on its own, so the system also makes a strong base for a later cartridge upgrade.

The DS-W3 cartridge reads the groove with light: a beryllium shading plate on a boron cantilever moves between an LED and a photodetector, with a separate pair for each channel, and output is 70 mV. There are no magnets or coils, so there is no magnetic drag on the cantilever. A line-contact stylus and an aluminum body complete it, and channel separation is 27 dB or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe DS-W3 Equalizer powers the cartridge through the tonearm cable and applies the equalization. Its 2.0 mm board with 70 µm copper foil was re-optimized for the third-generation cartridges, and it delivers 500 mV at line level through two pairs of balanced XLR and two pairs of RCA outputs, with a four-position low-cut selector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eStereophile's Michael Trei heard deep, sharply drawn soundstaging and a rare ability to untangle dense mixes, with no obvious coloration, and ran the 7.9 g cartridge happily in a 14 g effective-mass arm. Jonathan Valin in The Absolute Sound heard much of the Grand Master's character, with bass power, a very quiet background and a tape-like continuity, and reminded readers to ground the equalizer properly.

The Master3 cartridge is the successor to the Master1 and uses DS Audio's third-generation optical generator, with a beryllium shading plate moving between an LED and a photodetector for each channel. Its square-pillar diamond cantilever carries a Micro Ridge stylus, mounted in an ultra-duralumin body with a stainless steel cantilever holder. Output is 70 mV, channel separation 27 dB, and it tracks at 2.0 to 2.2 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe Master3 Equalizer powers the cartridge and equalizes its signal with fully separate left and right circuits and three transformers, which DS Audio says gives deeper, more solid bass.

The body is natural rosewood. Inside are copper coils, a Permendur magnet assembly and a boron cantilever with a line-contact stylus. Koetsu was founded by Yoshiaki Sugano and carried on by his son Fumihiko; after Fumihiko's death in 2023 the brand was revived in 2025, with the original craftsmen and suppliers again building the cartridges by hand in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eDick Olsher at The Absolute Sound singled out its midrange, open and transparent with a full lower midrange, and found it close to neutral rather than warm, with smooth textures, tight, well-integrated bass and very focused imaging. He called it one of the easiest recommendations he had made. Stereophile's Alex Halberstadt found it lush and beautiful.

It is for listeners who want stone-series performance but prefer the look and character of wood. The cantilever is boron, and because each body is handcrafted, no two are identical. Koetsu was founded by Yoshiaki Sugano and carried on by his son Fumihiko; after Fumihiko's death in 2023 the brand was revived in 2025, with the original craftsmen and suppliers again building the cartridges by hand in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eJonathan Scull reviewed an earlier version for Stereophile and heard a rich, deeply satisfying midrange, powerful bass and open, detailed highs on a large soundstage, with a relaxed, full-bodied character; he found light loading worked best. Koetsu also cites Herb Reichert at Stereophile calling it natural and sophisticated. At 12.4 g, it suits a rigid, medium- to higher-mass tonearm, and at 0.3 mV it needs a quiet MC phono stage with about 65 dB of gain or a good step-up transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Rosewood Signature Platinum sits above the Urushi models and just below the stone bodies, whose generator it shares.

The first is a complementary Class A amplifier with parallel-connected Linear Systems ultra-low-noise FETs in a symmetrical compound-pair input, which means no bias current flows through the cartridge coil; it drives the passive high-frequency RIAA section. The second is a symmetrical Class A differential amplifier with a common-base driver that provides the active low-frequency equalisation. The third inverts the signal to create a balanced output alongside the unbalanced one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eEach stage has its own localised supply fed by a discrete, symmetrical tracking power supply with fast diodes and a low-noise reference, running 60 percent higher in voltage than is typical for headroom. Gain, mute and mono are switched by relays. Loading covers 50, 100, 150, 300 and 400 Ω and five capacitance values from 1000 to 5700 pF; gain is 69.5 or 63.5 dB. RIAA is held to 0.2 dB from 100 Hz to 50 kHz and distortion is 0.03 percent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eHi-Fi Choice made it an Editor's Choice, The Ear's Jason Kennedy called it a top-notch phono preamplifier, and What Hi-Fi? gave it five stars.
