Linn cirkus upgrade kit
Karousel’s reduction in friction means that it will last longer and continue to give incredibly accurate listening pleasure to the very highest standard for longer than ever before. These changes combined lead to the reduction of noise for more accurate vinyl reproduction. A stronger housing for the thrust pad, combined with a smaller, stiffer form that supports the platter rotation and mass. A key part of this new design is the substantial lock-nut fastening which increases rigidity at what was previously the weakest point. The spindle is better supported thanks to improved tolerances of the bearing liners, improving the ‘noise floor’ of the turntable and in turn, musical reproduction.Ī stronger coupling has been achieved between the platter, spindle, bearing housing and sub-chassis, thanks to the stainless steel material chosen and the new design implemented. Innovations in design combined with new material selection in critical parts of the bearing result in smoother rotation for better sound. Stronger, stiffer thrust pad and housing reduces vibration effects on music reproduction.Stainless Steel Bearing design improves rigidity and stability.The substantial lock-nut fastening on the stainless steel housing increases rigidity at the critical point where bearing and sub-chassis come together.Įnhancements 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.
That vital union between the platter, spindle, bearing and sub-chassis is now the strongest we’ve ever achieved. 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. Karousel, Linn’s new precision-engineered single-point bearing, offers smoother rotation and greater stability for even better sound from your Sondek LP12.
