Get a FREE Karousel bearing for your LP12 when you spend £3,500.00 or more on Linn products or upgrades! Offer ends 31st August 2026.
Some upgrades produce marginal gains, whilst others fundamentally change how music feels to listen to. Karousel belongs firmly in the latter category.
Throughout July and August, you can receive a complimentary Karousel bearing upgrade for your Sondek LP12 when you spend £3,500.00 or more on Linn products or upgrades.
Introduced in March 2020 to widespread acclaim, Karousel is Linn ’s third generation single-point bearing design for Sondek LP12. Delivering smoother rotation and greater stability, it quickly established itself as one of the most transformative upgrades ever introduced for LP12.
Karousel is widely regarded as the essential upgrade for pre-2020 LP12s — one capable of unlocking a dramatically lower noise floor, and deeper, more authoritative bass from a cherished turntable.
“Possibly the single biggest musical upgrade I have heard in the 40+ years since I bought my Sondek in the 1970s”
Colin M. - What You See and Hear
Music emerges from an overall quieter background with greater clarity and focus. Bass notes gain new depth and texture. Familiar records reveal new subtleties, space, and emotion that may previously have gone unheard.
Every Sondek LP12 ever made can benefit from the remarkable performance uplift Karousel brings. If you’ve yet to hear what Karousel can do for your LP12, this summer presents the perfect opportunity.
Not only do you benefit from the bearing itself though. Every Karousel bearing kit also includes a new inner platter as well as all-new washers, springs and grommets!

What's the best use of my money to qualify?
If you’ve been considering showing your pre-2020 LP12 some love, now is the time. Take a look at the new Arko tonearm or Keel SE sub-chassis. Any combination of LP12 upgrades will work!
Maybe you've been looking at getting into streaming? After all, Linn prove both can coexist!
As long as your total reaches that £3,500.00 threshold, you're good to go!
If you're not quite sure what your next best step is, we're happy to advise. And even if you don't think you can reach the threshold, we have a variety of offers available on upgrades and second hand bits too and are happy to put together a deal just for you.
Fitting is free with a complimentary LP12 health check included as well as recommendations on your future upgrade path should you be interested. Get in touch now!
