The lid is finally lifted on a closely guarded 50th anniversary secret at Linn. A landmark collaboration between Linn and Sir Jony Ive.
We proudly present the limited edition Sondek LP12-50 turntable.
Read all about its genesis here:

A very happy 30th birthday to our Keltik loudspeakers!
These former-flagship floorstanders replaced the original Isobariks; they look delightfully '90s now, but still sound superb (modelled here by the inimitable Ivor Tiefenbrun c.1991).

It's our birthday! It's 47 years today since Linn Products was incorporated and, in a beautiful example of synchronicity, it's also the same date that Thomas Edison was granted a patent for his gramophone back in 1878.

"It's thrillingly musical, able to bring recordings bounding to life in an almost unlikely manner."
We're proud to share with you the latest review of Selekt DSM: Edition, penned by industry veteran Simon Lucas for
@soundadvice2022
.
Read here:
Sondek LP12 is fifty years old this year – and it has never looked younger!
An icon that's always evolving; a revolution that's ever revolving.
The product upon which Linn was founded in 1973, Sondek LP12 remains the benchmark in high-performance vinyl playback.

360 produces exceptionally pure sound due to the hardness and great inherent strength of futuristic materials deployed throughout the drive units. When these innovations are deployed alongside Exakt and Space Optimisation – 360 becomes audibly invisible.
It is our great pleasure to reveal that next-generation Klimax DSM has been awarded 'Product of the Year 2021' by the venerable HiFi+.
Thanks so much,
@hifiplusmag
, for this award. We are humbled; it makes all the hard work of the last few years so very worth it.

360 delivers bass with more impact, efficiency and less distortion thanks to our new Power DAC technology; highly efficient, ultra-low-noise, and the perfect platform for driving the bass system, producing seismic, realistic, distortion-free bass that will seriously move you

The first reviews of new Klimax LP12 are beginning to roll in. The latest iteration of our flagship turntable has garnered a ★★★★★ review from The Ear.
"The sound was ravishing... It is a major achievement, even by (Linn's) high standards." – Chris Kelly, The Ear
Introducing Arko – an entirely new, high-performance tonearm. Arko boils down all the mission critical elements of tonearm design to their essence and hones them to superlative standards – perfectly poised and rigorously refined. Arko is effortful simplicity.

Designing our own DAC, completely from scratch, was only worth doing if the result would be much better than our previous designs...
...did we manage it? Find out below:
360 is audibly invisible and visibly remarkable. It produces performance with unprecedented clarity, combined with a curvaceous cabinet and range of finishes to present an aesthetic with ultra-modern flair and contemporary class.

To make our best cartridge ever, we looked further afield, and at more varied materials.
After extensive experiments, auditioning different materials and configurations for every single element, the result was Ekstatik – the new jewel in the crown of the Linn cartridge range.
A blast from the past today! Last week, we received a parcel from one of our distributors, full of pictures from the 1980s and early 90s. There's some shots of our factory, our factory AVGs when they were new, and some of our older products!

Musical information lost from the source is gone forever, so we move mountains to preserve all of that information through every stage from the groove to your ears. Enjoy incredible performance from your vinyl with Majik LP12.
The curvaceous front of 360 tapers from bottom to top, with shaped radii matched to each individual drive unit. Perfectly flush, sound emanates out and away from the speaker, producing the same tonality in every direction, reinforcing the soundstage of the original recording
