The ideal first step into high performance vinyl playback, Majik LP12 MC uses carefully selected Linn engineered components to let you experience the iconic LP12 in an affordable package. It includes Linn’s latest sandwich construction aluminium sub chassis, patented single point bearing, internal low noise power supply, Krane tone arm and the Linn Koil MC cartridge.
Speaker for the experienced ear Harbeth’s R&D has re-imagined the ideals of a speaker which has won overall awards to another power. Permitting tenuous sound straightforwardness to be uncovered and at last, appreciated. The littlest Harbeth to be designed around the restrictive 200mm RADIAL™ bass/mid unit – got from the reference M40.3 – this space saver screen vanishes into any listening room. The exceptional midrange clearness and controlled bass rejuvenate music in a wide scope of homegrown listening conditions. The M30.2 XD the speaker takes the Harbeth custom of shocking melodic contribution to another interpretation level.
The Torus Power RM 8 AUS Isolation Transformer will not only clean much of the harmful noise from the power supply, it will also provide a measure of voltage regulation. The heart of the unit is a large toroidal isolation transformer and this also contributes to the marques name "Torus". Suitable for small to medium sized systems and equally suited to Audio as well as Video systems.
Setting a new performance benchmark, Ekos SE features advanced materials carefully selected for their sound performance and low resonance properties. These minimise interference, resonance and microphony, meaning you’ll hear even more from your vinyl collection. This flagship tone arm is fitted as standard to the flagship Linn Sondek LP12 Klimax turntable.
The Ekos SE tone arm is the perfect partner for any cartridge. Specify Ekstatik, Linn’s reference moving coil cartridge for ultimate performance from your LP12 turntable.
The Innovation Basic provides the main technical characteristics of our Innovation,
in a reduced "Basic" design that rivals it's larger siblings.
Sometimes, just sometimes, we modern humans are guilty of huberous. It seems that everything needs to be the latest, glossiest and most techno fashionable, to be be desirable today and then throw-away-able tomorrow! This of course blinds us to to a few fundamental facts. Truly competent amplifiers were developed a hundred years ago and there is a reason why we used to make all those rectangular stand mount boxy speakers in the 1960s-1970s.
Don't take my word for it! please read the review via the link on this listing. This classic large stand mounted loudspeaker simply sounds wonderful. And whilst sound quality should be foremost in any speaker evaluation, we just love the slab sided, in your face retro look of these monitors. Take a closer look and you will see real state of the art, driver and crossover technology. Once satisfied that the components are high quality, take a look at the beautifully applied real wood timber veneer and highly polished finish.
Harbeth's Super HL5plus XD, driven correctly, produces a huge sound stage of width, depth and weight for a total immersion in the musical performance. We were blown away!
The Innovation Compact turntable with its very efficient design is nothing less than an audiophile revelation. Thanks to optical speed control (OSC), speed stability values are obtained that lift this turntable into the global high end class.
Perfectly matched materials meet patented Clearaudio technology. The 70mm-thick platter of the Innovation Compact consists of dynamically balanced polyoxymethylene (POM) and is powered by a high-torque DC motor with precision bearings, developed exclusively for Clearaudio.
The optimally designed chassis keeps resonances out of the audible range and guarantees maximum stability in a housing made of a massive panzerholz (bullet proof wood) and aluminium sandwich. Timeless design with quality built to last for decades. To enhance flexibility the Innovation Compact has the option to mount a second tone arm, making it possible to play a rich variety of music from across the decades.
Two years in development, Krystal uses the design principles of our leading moving coil cartridge Kandid to capture the minute changes in the record groove, letting you hear every musical detail.
Krystal features a similar approach to minimising mass as Kandid, using a nude design to give the cartridge less inertia so it can react more quickly to the changes in the groove. It also uses the triple-point mounting system for a solid connection to the tone arm head shell, while the aircraft grade 7075 aluminium chassis provides a lightweight, stiff and stable platform for the generator. Even the adhesive used on Krystal was painstakingly selected to provide the most rigid bond possible to avoid any dampening effects.
Whether you specify Krystal on your current turntable or buy it as part of an Akurate LP12 , you're guaranteed to enjoy a more musical performance from all your vinyl.
One has to go back in time a very long way to experience recorded audio without the benefit of electrical power. Indeed electrical power is fundamental to every home audio system, in our opinion only second in importance to the actual recorded music, and then only by a small margin. What most people fail to realize is that the energy that flows from a wall socket is really a "Power Signal". This power signal should be 50Hz and this figure is well within the Audio band. The nature of our power generation, distribution grid and varied load characteristics results in a horribly polluted 50Hz Power Signal. Additionally this signal is actually altered by the huge number of power factor modifying loads it is required to drive. This polluted and corrupted power can easily, and usually does, adversely effect the quality of audio a system can deliver. There are solutions and the Torus Power AVR2 16 voltage regulator and conditioner is one worthy example.
The Torus Power AVR2 Series will not only clean much of the harmful noise from the power supply, it will also provide a measure of voltage regulation. The heart of the unit is a large toroidal isolation transformer and this also contributes to the marques name "Torus". Suitable for medium and large sized systems and equally suited to Audio as well as Video systems.

The cabinet design uses the same type of bass loading as the D30S and D48 models which makes the speaker easier to position with respect to its frequency response. The result is a wonderful open and expansive midrange with a substantial bass and sweet and detailed high frequencies from either ProAc tweeter option. A large sound stage is also a bonus.
