Karousel, Linn’s new precision-engineered single-point bearing, offers smoother rotation and greater stability for even better sound from your Sondek LP12*.
This innovative new take on our original bearing design has been made possible by technological developments in material science, machining capabilities and mechanical engineering expertise gained from almost half a century of designing and manufacturing the world’s best turntable.
That vital union between the platter, spindle, bearing and sub-chassis is now the strongest we’ve ever achieved. The substantial lock-nut fastening on the stainless steel housing increases rigidity at the critical point where bearing and sub-chassis come together.
Enhancements to the base of the bearing include a stronger housing for the thrust pad, and combined with a smaller, stiffer form improves the critical area that supports the platter rotation and mass, meaning your vinyl reproduction is more accurate and detailed than ever before.
Karousel bearing kit includes the following:
- Karousel bearing
- Inner platter and spindle
- Full complement of springs, bushings, washers & locknuts
- Earthing wire
- Vial of oil
*Compatibility & Safety Notice: The Karousel bearing is physically compatible with all current and historic Linn turntable configurations, however it must not be used with Valhalla or third party power supplies that are fitted within the deck, as electrical safety protection issues can carry potential fatal risks.
