Description
Linn Karousel
Precision Machined Aluminium Sub-chassis
Linn Karousel, the 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 our 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 we have ever achieved.
A new diamond like carbon coating inside the bearing reduces friction between the tip of the spindle and the base of the bearing itself. This reduces the ‘noise floor’ of the turntable, so improves musical reproduction. 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, combined with a smaller, stiffer coated form, to improve the critical area that supports the platter rotation and mass, meaning your vinyl reproduction is more accurate and detailed than ever before.
With the Linn Karousel the reduction in friction means that not only will this critical component have a greater lifespan, but your LP12 will continue to give you incredibly accurate listening pleasure for longer than ever before.

The Linn LP 12 is a sophisticated machine and upgrades such as this Karousel, together with the Keel, Kore and tone arm upgrades need to undertaken with care and some forethought. We suggest that discussions are had (with us at Revolution Turntable) to determine the vintage and mechanical health of your particular LP 12. Additionally there are some fabulous offers available that can result in substantial savings.
