Linn's 40th celebrations also saw the launch of 2 new subchassis options for improving existing LP12s.

A few years ago a new combined subchassis/armboard called Keel was introduced, and it's still available and still brilliant, with only one drawback, £ 2400.

The Keel continues as the Klimax level while 2 new models are introduced. The Kore is an integrated subchassis/armboard like the Keel but of simpler welded construction at £ 750

The standard subchassis is now also upgraded, giving an obvious improvement in sound while still using the existing armboard. This is £ 300

Both of these will also incur a fitting and set-up charge as the old parts have to be stripped out and the suspension refitted.

To give you better value for this we will fit either kit for £ 100 to include all the bits you should change on an older Sondek anyway, belt, springs, grommets.

So £ 400 will give your LP12 a new lease of life with a new subchassis, £ 850 will do even more by giving you an integrated subchassis and armboard where you will be able to see the difference as well as hear it.

Delive ries from October, treat yourself for Christmas, get yours booked asap!
