Linn LP12 Valhalla Turntable / Basik+ Tonearm, good condition, 3 month warranty Linn LP12 Valhalla Turntable / Basik+ Tonearm, good condition, 3 month warranty With well over 100,000 units produced in its 50-year history the Linn Sondek LP12 has become something of a legend to many audiophiles across the world. Our example has the popular Afromosia Plinth, with an LVX Plus tonearm and Rega Elys Mk1 Cartridge. Cosmetically the plinth does have a minor chip on one corner and some surface cracking on the armboard, which can be seen in the photographs, plus there is some wear on the lid of course. It is in good working order, but it would of course benefit from a full service set up. The turntable itself will be supplied professionally packaged. In addition to this our normal three month warranty is also included, but please note that as we have no exact knowledge of the amount of use and wear to the cartridge this item is not covered. Whats it worth? Well let you decide. Linn Say… Linn Products have always stated that the turntable is the most important part of a high fidelity system. If you don’t get a good signal off the record then it doesn’t matter how good the rest of your system is, the sound will be bad. When upgrading your system there is a strict hierarchy to observe. After the turntable, the next most important component is the arm, followed by the cartridge. Once the turntable system has been optimised, the next component to choose is the amplifier. Finally, the last link in the chain is the loudspeaker The Linn Sondek LP12 reference transcription turntable has been setting the standards by which others are judged for over 30 years. Each component of the Sondek LP12 has been painstakingly developed to optimise information retrieval, because information lost at the source is lost forever, regardless of the amplifier or loudspeaker quality. Linn is involved in every stage of the record and playback process. We can therefore check the signal at each step of the hi-fi chain, which is why we know what makes the Sondek LP12 a very special turntable: its perfect speed accuracy at 33rpm and 45rpm, its immunity against acoustical feedback, its low noise main bearing with mirror finish, and our legendary precision manufacturing, all of which ensure the pitch accurate faithful reproduction of the original source.

At the heart of the Valhalla is a very low noise crystal oscillator, which produces a highly accurate square wave at an exact frequency. As the LP12 motor runs at its quietest when driven with a clean sinusoidal waveform, a precision filter is employed in the Valhalla to remove harmonics from the square wave, leaving only a pure waveform. The most uniform torque is delivered from the motor when both phases are driven at ninety degrees with respect to one another and this is achieved by a ninety-degree phase-shift network after the filter. The two resulting sinusoids are then boosted by an amplifier circuit and fed to the motor windings. Linn Basik Plus LVX Tonearm The LVX Plus is an updated version of Linn’s budget LVX tonearm. It now has a fixed headshell for greater rigidity and reduced electrical connections, improved bearing housing and more rigidly coupled counterweight.
