I have experienced no problems, but had a few ideas I wanted to try. The Linn Sondek LP12 (often shortened to Sondek or LP12) is a transcription turntable produced by Glasgow-based Linn Products, manufacturers of hi-fi, home theatre, and multi-room audio systems.Its name is derived from the 12' vinyl LP (long play gramophone record). Karousel Bearing Karousel, Linns new precision-engineered single-point bearing, offers smoother rotation and greater stability for even better sound from. For many years I have been running good quality automotive transmission oil in the main bearing. My beloved Shelter 501 II LOMC cartridge completes the ensemble. Please note: This upgrade is not compatible with the Valhalla, Nirvana or aftermarket power supplies nor various aftermarket upgrades such as the Tiger Paw Tranquility. It was originally a Valhalla model, which I upgraded to the OriginLive DC Motor Kit. With Karousel the reduction in friction means that not only will this critical component have a greater lifespan, but your LP12 will continue to give you incredibly accurate listening pleasure for longer than ever before. Enhancements to the base of the bearing include a stronger housing for the thrust pad, combined with a smaller, stiffer coated form, to improve the critical area that supports the platter rotation and mass, meaning your vinyl reproduction is more accurate and detailed than ever before. The substantial lock-nut fastening on the stainless steel housing increases rigidity at the critical point where bearing and sub-chassis come together. This reduces the ‘noise floor’ of the turntable and greatly improves musical reproduction. That vital union between the platter, spindle, bearing and sub-chassis is now the strongest they've ever achieved.Ī new diamond-like carbon coating inside the bearing reduces friction between the tip of the spindle and the base of the bearing itself. Superseding the Linn Cirkus bearing kit, this innovative new bearing design has been made possible by technological developments in material science, machining capabilities and mechanical engineering expertise Linn have gained from almost half a century of designing and manufacturing the world’s best turntable.
