A Legacy of Innovation
Linn’s founder, Ivor Tiefenburn, realised that bigger, better speakers alone couldn’t improve a hi-fi system’s performance. Through experimentation, he discovered that the turntable played a crucial role in delivering superior sound. By extracting more musical detail from the grooves of a record, the LP12 was designed to produce clearer, more accurate, and deeply engaging music. This breakthrough led to the creation of the iconic Sondek LP12, crafted to maximize the musical potential of every record – for better music.
“Arguably the most popular high-end turntable of all time in the UK, the LP12 has a reputation for being one of the finest... turntables around”
