With well over 100,000 units produced in its nearly 50-year history it has become something of a legend to many audiophiles across the world. Our example is fitted with a Hercules II power supply, Akito tonearm and a Rega Bias Cartridge It is in good working order but would of course benefit from a full service and set up. It will be supplied in original packaging, with our normal three-month warranty which does not include the cartridge as we have no knowledge as to its age or amount of wear.\u003cbr\u003e\nLinn Say….\u003cbr\u003e\nLinn LP12 Turntable\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Linn LP12 reference transcription turntable has been setting the standards by which others are judged for over 30 years. Each component of the LP12 has been painstakingly developed to optimise information retrieval, because information lost at the source is lost forever, regardless of the amplifier or loudspeaker quality. Linn is involved in every stage of the record and playback process. We can therefore check the signal at each step of the hi-fi chain, which is why we know what makes the LP12 a very special turntable: its perfect speed accuracy at 33rpm and 45rpm, its immunity against acoustical feedback, its low noise main bearing with mirror finish, and our legendary precision manufacturing, all of which ensure the pitch accurate faithful reproduction of the original source.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nIntroduced: 1972\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Belt drive analogue turntable with 3-point suspension\u003cbr\u003e\nPlatter: 2 pieces, made of non-magnetic Mazak 8.
