Linn have brought their LP12 into line with the streamer, amplifier, and speaker ranges
by offering combined packages in Majik, Akurate, and Klimax performance levels.
| Klimax | Akurate | Majik | |
| Deck | Sondek LP12 | Sondek LP12 | Sondek LP12 |
| Sub-chassis / Armboard | Keel | Kore | Standard |
| Base board | Urika | Trampolin | Solid |
| Power / Motor Control | Radikal | Lingo | Majik |
| Tonearm | Ekos SE | Akito | Pro-Ject 9cc |
| Cartridge | Kandid (MC) | Klyde (MC) | Adikt (MM) |
| Phono stage | Urika | n/a | n/a |
Majik level is £ 2900. Akurate is £ 6090 and Klimax is £ 14835,
All these parts were already available, however the possible combinations were too many and mind-blowingly intricate to explain!
By grouping these parts into 3 levels you have a simpler choice and can still customise outside this, if necessary.
Majik level has been around for a while. Take the great Linn engineering at it's simplest level and use a Project tonearm to keep the package under £3k .
Akurate level sounds much clearer, with increase dynamics . Although the plinth, motor and platters are identical everything else is improved to eliminate noise and vibration.
This allows more of the delicate details to leap out of the records and into your system. The Kore subchassis and Akito tonearm are far more rigid for reduced vibration. The Lingo power supply makes a massive difference to both speed stability and vibration. It gives the motor a larger voltage to get up to speed and then reduces it to just enough torque to maintain constant speed resulting in less noise into the system, and what you hear is more detail and dynamics in the sound.
Klimax level is the top technology in every area. The Keel subchassis is machined from a solid billet of aluminium alloy. The Radikal motor/power supply is an ultra-low noise/vibration system. The Urika is a phono stage placed inside the turnatable to amplify the tiniest of signals from the Kandid cartridge, the finest available.
There are in-between levels possible by using these parts individually so you could have a Majik Plus at £ 4500-5300, or an Akurate Plus at £ 7500-8980
There is no such thing as a Klimax Plus!
