Linn Majik LP12 Vinyl Turntable
Taxes & Shipping Included
Take your first step into high-fidelity vinyl playback. And close the door behind you, you won't be turning back. Experience the legendary Sondek LP12 in its most affordable guise – powered by carefully curated Linn-engineered components. Majik LP12 includes our sandwich-construction aluminium sub-chassis, patented single point Karousel bearing, internally mounted low noise power supply, and low-friction Krane tonearm. Beyond this lies your first choice: will you commence your Linn journey with a moving magnet (MM) or a moving coil (MC) cartridge?
The ideal first step into high performance vinyl playback, Majik LP12 uses carefully selected Linn-engineered components to let you experience the iconic LP12 in an affordable package.
It includes Linn’s latest sandwich-construction aluminium sub-chassis, patented single point bearing, and internal low noise power supply. Linn’s Majik tonearm and Adikt moving magnet cartridge complete the deck.
Whether it’s the colour of your favourite shirt or a shade from your best-loved album, we can match any colour you like for the perfect personalised plinth finish. Matching speakers are also available. View the deck in a variety of colours below, but don’t forget - any colour can be matched!
Karousel Bearing
Karousel, Linn’s new precision-engineered single-point bearing, offers smoother rotation and greater stability for even better sound from your Sondek LP12.
This innovative new take on our original bearing design has been made possible by technological developments in material science, machining capabilities and mechanical engineering expertise gained from almost half a century of designing and manufacturing the world’s best turntable.
That vital union between the platter, spindle, bearing and sub-chassis is now the strongest we’ve ever achieved. The substantial lock-nut fastening on the stainless steel housing increases rigidity at the critical point where bearing and sub-chassis come together.
Enhancements to the base of the bearing include a stronger housing for the thrust pad, and combined with a smaller, stiffer form improves the critical area that supports the platter rotation and mass, meaning your vinyl reproduction is more accurate and detailed than ever before.
Fluted Plinth
This kiln-dried hardwood plinth features decorative fluting and resembles the original Sondek LP12 design of the early 1970s. It is available in a range of five wooden finishes.
The deck includes your choice of plinth plus Karousel bearing, steel top plate, and inner and outer platter. Plinths can be purchased separately if desired.
Adikt, Efficient and Affordable Moving Magnet
Adikt uses an efficient and affordable moving magnet (MM) configuration. This makes it an ideal starting point for any quality vinyl playback system and its performance is more than a match for many expensive moving coil (MC) designs.
It features a rigid body and Gyger II replaceable stylus, both of which help towards a finely detailed and dynamic sound signature. It is easily mounted on a wide range of tonearms, including Krane and Arko.
Adikt is fitted as standard to Majik LP12 MM.
Koil, A formidable, entry-level moving coil cartridge
Koil is a superb first step onto the ladder of premium moving coil cartridges. This Majik-level cartridge provides a step up in performance from Adikt; and is available either as an upgrade, or fitted as standard to a new Majik LP12 MC.
Choose Koil if you intend to use your Majik LP12 with a moving coil phono preamplifier. Upgrade from Adikt to progress your journey along the path to vinyl playback perfection.
