Sondek LP12SE - 2007 Analogue Source Component & Linn Records High Resolution Downloads - Editor's Choice 2007

Highlighting Linn's commitment to both traditional and 'directional' music listening methods, Stereophile has just published Award details for both the Sondek LP12SE in the Best Analogue Source category & Linn Records High Quality Music Downloads as the Editor's Choice.

On Linn Records High Quality Music Downloads: "The high-quality downloads from these companies are entirely (Linn) or mostly (Music Giants) free of Digital Rights Management (DRM), and are available as FLAC or WMP (Linn) or Windows Media Player (Music Giants) files. The Linn downloads are all taken from their own catalog; my hat is off to these two companies for leading audiophiles—and me!—into the brave new world of high-resolution downloads."

On the Sondek LP12SE: "For Linnies, the Keel is a godsend. A single-piece subchassis, tonearm board, and Linn-specific tonearm mounting collar, the Keel surpassed Art's every reasonable expectation, providing greater size, richness, and detail without altering the LP12's singular character. "It's like buying a huge piece of land," Art said, "and being given the opportunity to add another 50-year-old tree to the mountainside: crazy, exorbitant—and something no man would pass up if he could afford it."
