Sondek LP12 Turntables
Sondek LP12
Audio Genesis has been a Linn Sondek LP12 specialist in Sydney, Australia since 1985.
Unmatched for almost five decades, the Linn Sondek LP12 is the pinnacle of record player design and Linn’s longest running product.
Ivor Tiefenburn (Linn’s founder) discovered that bigger, better speakers did not make a bigger and better hi-fi system. Ivor experimented, finding the turntable critical in producing better sound; by extracting more musical information from the record grooves, it produced clearer, more accurate, more involving, and better music. Thus, Linn and the Sondek LP12 was born, designed to extract the most musical information from your records – for better music.
Audio Genesis are Linn LP12 specialists, completing training at the Linn factory in Glasgow and have over 30 years’ experience. We are fully equipped to assist you in choosing the most fitting variation of LP12 or if required, customise one specifically for your requirements. For existing owners, we are able to service and upgrade your existing LP12 regardless of the date it was manufactured.
The different levels of LP12s are ready to audition in Pyrmont, Sydney if you are interested in purchasing or upgrading an LP12.
