{"product_id":"linn-lp12-turntable-black-lingo-2-power-supply","title":"Linn LP12 Turntable - Black \/ Lingo 2 Power Supply","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe classic Linn Sondek LP12 turntable is one of the oldest and most important audio components there is, and the fact that it still in production today, albeit with a few modifications along the way, says something about that original design. Our example has a Black Plinth and is fitted with a Cirkus bearing plus it also comes with a Lingo 2 Power Supply. Cosmetically both items are in good condition and come in original factory packaging. In addition a mains cable and our normal three month warranty are also included.\u003cbr\u003e\nLinn Say…\u003cbr\u003e\nLinn Products have always stated that the turntable is the most important part of a high fidelity system. If you don’t get a good signal off the record then it doesn’t matter how good the rest of your system is, the sound will be bad. When upgrading your system there is a strict hierarchy to observe. After the turntable, the next most important component is the arm, followed by the cartridge. Once the turntable system has been optimised, the next component to choose is the amplifier. Finally, the last link in the chain is the loudspeaker\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Linn Sondek LP12 reference transcription turntable has been setting the standards by which others are judged for over 30 years. Each component of the Sondek 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 Sondek 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\nFeatures:\u003cbr\u003e\nExtremely low noise patented main bearing\u003cbr\u003e\nPerfectly balanced high inertia platter\u003cbr\u003e\nStrong, solid kiln-dried wood plinth\u003cbr\u003e\nHeavy gauge non-magnetic, brushed satin, stainless steel plate\u003cbr\u003e\nHighly efficient 3 point spring damped suspension\u003cbr\u003e\n24-pole precision synchronous low noise, high torque motor\u003cbr\u003e\nPrecision pulley and Neoprene flat belt\u003cbr\u003e\n33rpm + 45rpm\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Belt drive analogue turntable with 3-point suspension\u003cbr\u003e\nPlatter: 2 pieces, made of non-magnetic Mazak 8.

The improved bearing and stronger sub-chassis arrangement provides the turntable with greater stability and ensures the bearing sits perfectly true to the chassis of the turntable. This in turn minimises the risk of turntable platter movement with respect to the sub-chassis and arm. Even the slightest movement will introduce audible degradation to the reproduced signal. Together the changes to the bearing and the sub-chassis make an enormous difference to the overall performance of the turntable.\u003cbr\u003e\nLinn Lingo 2….\u003cbr\u003e\nLingo 2 is an external power supply designed exclusively for the Sondek LP12 turntable. It offers unsurpassed speed accuracy for both 33.3 and 45 rpm, plus precise filtering of mains voltage to ensure harmonic distortion is kept to a minimum.\u003cbr\u003e\nAt the heart of the Lingo 2 are two very low-noise crystal oscillators – one for each turntable speed. These coupled with the mains filtering provide the LP12’s 24-pole synchronous motor with an exceptionally clean sinusoidal waveform.\u003cbr\u003e\nLoad-sensing ‘stall detection’ circuitry is used to feed the motor with higher voltage for increased start-up torque and reduced voltage once the platter reaches the selected speed.\u003cbr\u003e\nLingo 2 offers an easy upgrade for existing LP12 owners using Valhalla or Basik power supplies. It is available in black and silver finishes from qualified Linn outlets worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatures:\u003cbr\u003e\nSeparate, extremely low-noise crystal oscillators for 33.3 and 45 rpm\u003cbr\u003e\nPrecision filtering of mains voltage to minimise harmonic distortion\u003cbr\u003e\nLoad-sensing circuitry provides extra torque at start-up\u003cbr\u003e\nElectrically isolated from mains supply variations\u003cbr\u003e\nEasy upgrade for any Sondek LP12 turntable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nIntroduced: 1990\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Power supply for Sondek LP12 turntable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpeeds: 33.33 rpm, 45 rpm\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Consumption: 6 W\u003cbr\u003e\nVoltage\/Fuse: 240 V\/T200 mA\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 320 (W) x 320 (D) 80 (H) mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 1.5 kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50987022582101,"sku":"1185071\/1183470","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/IMG_0981-scaled_0ee8e3b6-12b7-4091-9b0f-54589dae6ea8.jpg?v=1750883780","url":"https:\/\/2ndhandhifi.co.uk\/products\/linn-lp12-turntable-black-lingo-2-power-supply","provider":"2ndhandhifi.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
