Bearing Housing

Featured

Linn Karousel LP12 Bearing Housing

$1,795.00

Single-point bearing

Karousel, Linn’s new precision-engineered single-point bearing, offers smoother rotation and greater stability for even better sound from your Sondek LP12.

This innovative new take on Linn’s original bearing design has been made possible by technological developments in material science, machining capabilities and mechanical engineering expertise gained from almost half a century of designing and manufacturing the world’s best turntable.

That vital union between the platter, spindle, bearing and sub-chassis is now the strongest Linn has ever achieved. The substantial lock-nut fastening on the stainless steel housing increases rigidity at the critical point where bearing and sub-chassis come together.

Enhancements to the base of the bearing include a stronger housing for the thrust pad, and combined with a smaller, stiffer form improves the critical area that supports the platter rotation and mass, meaning your vinyl reproduction is more accurate and detailed than ever before.

Retro-fittable to any LP12*

*Please note that Karousel must not be used with Valhalla, Wakonda PSU or third party power supplies that are fitted within the deck. In addition, older outer platters may need to be replaced to fit with current specification inner platter supplied with Karousel bearing.

Key Features:

Smoother rotation
Stainless steel bearing design improves rigidity and stability
Stronger, stiffer thrust pad and housing reduces vibration effects on music reproduction

Linn Kore LP12 Sub-Chassis

Linn Kore LP12 Sub-Chassis

$1,995.00

Machined armboard

Following the same design philosophy as Linn’s flagship Keel, the Kore sub-chassis and armboard is an essential upgrade step for anyone looking to improve their LP12 and bring it up to Akurate-level performance.

Designed for extra rigidity and removal of unwanted damping, the Kore sub-chassis is strengthened by a multi-layer, box construction of 1.5mm thick aluminium. Three layers are bonded together using a unique Linn-specified adhesive to form an incredibly stiff structure, while keeping the weight low.

The Kore armboard is precisely machined from solid aluminium and further strengthened with ribs on the underside to provide the ultimate rigidity. This is then bonded to the sub-chassis so that the assembly mirrors the valuable properties of a single piece; as the arm collar is bolted directly to the sub-chassis, the arm has a direct connection to the bearing.

Linn Keel SE LP12 Sub-Chassis

$9,495.00

Top-performing machined sub-chassis and armboard

Keel SE is the highest-performance LP12 sub-chassis available, with superior stiffness, optimised resonant behaviour and ideal distribution of mass.

The intricate bracing structure machined into the underside of Keel SE - designed using a mixture of manual and computer-aided optimisations - has helped Linn to achieve their number one goal of increasing sub-chassis stiffness as much as possible. This significant 300% increase versus Linn’s previous designs means that any vibrations travelling through Keel SE have their frequencies forced higher, and their energy substantially lowered.

Optimised resonant behaviour allows Keel SE to better break-up and dissipate problematic acoustic energy, reducing its potential impact on the delicate music signal.

By machining aluminium from calculated areas beneath the armboard, Keel SE has its centre of mass balanced more evenly on its suspension compared to other sub-chassis models. This improves weight distribution between the springs, and reduces inertia, improving the critical acoustic isolation properties of any LP12.

Key Features:

Machined from solid aluminium
Improved stiffness reduces energy of vibrations
Optimised centre of mass for better weight distribution

Linn Kendo Moving Coil Cartridge

$5,995.00

Kendo is a modern martial art form; translated from the Japanese it means way of the sword. At Linn however, the word has unique connotations. Linn’s sword is forged of boron, with a super-fine-line diamond tip. Linn’s armour is nickel-coated, 7075-grade aluminium. Kendo is the eager apprentice to its master, Ekstatik; sharing the same values, and picking up many of its traits along the way.

Kendo is the outcome of Linn’s engineers efforts to capitalise on the elements of Ekstatik which work so well; using Linn’s tried-and-true, trickle-down development methodology to produce a more affordable, high-performance cartridge which retains the same core design principles and acoustic fingerprint.

Kendo possesses a rigid, nickel-coated 7075-grade aluminium body. This specific grade of aluminium matches that of Linn’s Arko tonearm, for which Kendo was designed to be the perfect partner. This facilitates superb material synergy throughout the tonearm system, and effectively banishes unwanted resonances away from the delicate generator, along the arm, and out through the sub-chassis.

Key Features:

Moving coil (MC)
Rigid, nickel-coated, 7075-grade aluminium body
Low-mass and stiff boron cantilever
Super-fine-line stylus
Aluminium-bronze threaded inserts

Linn Kandid Moving Coil Cartridge

Linn Kandid Moving Coil Cartridge

$7,995.00

High-performance moving coil cartridge

The first thing you'll notice about Kandid is that it is nude - the generator is exposed. With no cartridge housing, potential sources of resonance are removed which results in purer, cleaner sound, making all your vinyl sound better than ever.

Linn has also kept the weight of the cartridge down by using a plastic front yoke screw rather than metal. As well as allowing the counterweight to be moved closer to the bearing point which gives a quicker reaction to changes in the vinyl, using a plastic screw eliminates any magnetic interference to the delicate coils in the cartridge.

Another notable innovation in Kandid is the angle of the mechanical body and the tracking angle of the cantilever which have also been moved from 23° to 20°. This means that when it’s placed under tracking force on the LP surface, the flux lines remain symmetrical, ensuring that mechanical forces on the coils and iron core remain equal in all directions, avoiding any deformation.

Kandid uses the finest nude diamond Line Contact stylus and benefits from a ceramic boron cantilever for ultra low mass and extremely high rigidity. The suspension mechanism supports hand-wound coils secured in a high-precision rigid assembly, terminated with gold contacts on flying leads for superb signal transmission. The coils in the Kandid also feature an extra winding to increase output.

Key Features:

Moving coil (MC)
Low mass housing and cantilever

Linn Ekstatik Moving Coil Cartridge

$12,195.00

All-new, flagship moving coil cartridge

In order to make Linn’s best cartridge ever, Linn needed to look further afield, and at more varied materials. Linn conducted extensive experiments; auditioning different materials and configurations for the body, inserts, cantilever, suspension, windings and leads. The result is Ekstatik - the new jewel in the crown of the Linn cartridge range.

Linn’s all-new, flagship cartridge, Ekstatik, sets a new bar for arm/cartridge synergy; its unique construction forges an harmonious synergy with Ekos SE; wicking away more unwanted resonances along the arm, and out through the sub-chassis.

In Linn’s search for ever better materials, experiments led them to the implementation of aluminium-bronze inserts. Now a feature of Ekstatik, these inserts allow Linn to reap the sonic benefits they found this alloy to possess.

With a bespoke, honeycomb cut into the cartridge body, Linn has skeletonised Ekstatik so that overall mass is reduced to Linn’s preferred sweet spot of close to 7g.

A micro-ridge stylus on a sapphire cantilever makes for an extraordinarily responsive cartridge. The sapphire cantilever is far stiffer than boron or aluminium, resulting in less loss between the stylus and the generator.

The overall result is an agile, responsive cartridge with the added performance yielded from specifying these materials; masterfully matched in unique configurations.

Key Features:

Linn’s highest-performance cartridge
Aluminium-bronze inserts
Micro-ridge stylus on sapphire cantilever
Machined honeycomb 7075 aluminium body
Triple-point mounting system for accurate geometry
