Introduced in 1972, the Sondek LP12 remains both an iconic piece of design and an unrivalled turntable.

Based in Eaglesham, near Glasgow, Linn has long operated on the premise that the key to a quality music system is in extracting information from the source of the music. Hence, for vinyl devotees, there’s really no alternative to the LP12’s patented low-noise, single-point bearing system, which keeps the motion of the turntable stable, smooth and eliminates extraneous noise.

Sometimes, as the Sondek LP12 reminds us, Spotify just doesn’t cut it.
