Now, the Glasgow company prefers to offer Sondeks in 'curated collections' from the get-go. When new, it was bought separately, and your Linn dealer would likely fit a Grace G707 tonearm and Supex SD900 moving-coil cartridge to complete the package. The way that Linn now prefers to sell the deck is a little different. Or have they? Rather like the newest Porsche 911 sports car that looks similar to the original '70s icon, this has many of the visual clues of the first Sondek but much has changed under the skin – almost entirely for the better. As you can see, things have changed since 1973, where the first model came out of the (then) new company's Glasgow factory, complete with a fluted Afrormosia hardwood plinth and tinted Perspex dustcover. Meet the latest 'entry level' Linn Sondek LP12. Linn's 'most affordable' route into the world of the iconic Sondek LP12 turntable is all the more convenient now its Majik deck is packaged with Clearaudio-sourced Krane arm
