Since its introduction over 30 years ago the Sondek LP12 has been the turntable by which all others are judged and each component has been continuously improved to extract even more information from a vinyl record. Its modular design means that it can be partnered with a range of cartridges and tonearms to achieve increasing levels of performance.

For the Gold turntable solution, the Sondek LP12 is partnered with:

Klyde cartridge

Ekos SE tonearm

The Klyde is a high performance moving-coil cartridge, precision-engineered to protect cherished vinyl recordings whilst maximising your enjoyment of the music. It features a precision suspension cantilever and nude diamond stylus to ensure long life and minimum surface noise. Its strong alloy body gives a secure connection to the Linn Ekos SE tonearm.

Setting a new performance benchmark, Ekos SE features advanced materials carefully selected for their sound performance and low resonance properties to minimise interference, resonance and microphony, and extract even more from your vinyl collection.

These include a machined titanium arm tube to reduce resonance within the arm and a stainless steel bearing housing which helps reduce unwanted tonearm movements.

The Sondek LP12 is available in a choice of high-quality real wood veneer finishes. Our standard finishes are Black Ash, American Cherry, Maple, Rosenut or Walnut and we also offer a custom service for those who want a truly bespoke finish.
