CLASSIC LINN LP12 RETURNS TO AUDIO T SOUTHAMPTON!
/It's been a few years since the iconic Linn Sondek was on demo here but we are delighted that we now once more have a lovely oak plinth LP12 Majik to spin our LPs on!
IN THE BEGINNING…
Back in the early 1970s when even I was too young to work here, and many years before Wayne was born, this emporium in it's previous guise as Hampshire Audio was one of the first Hi-Fi retailers to stock the then new Linn Sondek. In the days when vinyl was king for the first time, the Linn LP12 was regarded by many as the ultimate turntable.
REVOLUTION EVOLUTION…
Ivor Tiefenbrun's precision engineered vinyl spinner was born out of his disappointment with the performance of the best decks which were available at the time. His mantra of 'Garbage in, Garbage out' soon became common parlance amongst audiophiles and changed forever the hierarchy of Hi-Fi systems. The LP12 has evolved over nearly half a century, with every component and all aspects of it's performance honed and enhanced to a remarkable degree in the ultimate Klimax version.
MUSIC FOR A LIFETIME…
All Sondeks, even the oldest, are able to be upgraded to current specifications. How many other 50 year old products does that apply to…? The recent Karousel bearing is a massive upgrade and indicative of Linn’s continuing commitment to the longevity of their classic turntable.
SUITS YOU SIR!
Our new demo LP12 Majik looks great in it's oak plinth. Other finishes are available, even custom painted and monogrammed options can be made to order now. Any colour you like with your initials! Tempted?!
The Project Arm fitted with Linn Adikt MM cartridge sound great but we can't wait for the new Linn Krane arm to arrive to fully complete the package!
LINN, REGA OR MICHELL?
It's great to have a choice of top quality turntables in store once more. What shall we play today:
Linn LP12, Rega Planar 8 or Planar 10 or Michell Gyro SE? Mmmnn... a tricky choice, so we'll spin a side or two on each and enjoy them all!
WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOOSE…?
You are welcome to come in and reach your own conclusion. Just call or email us to book a listen and bring a couple of your favourite albums.
See you soon,
Alan and Wayne - Audio T Southampton
