Angeboten wird „LP12 Klimax“ von LINN als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler komplett“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2141062773 endet am 30.08.2026 um 17:22 Uhr.
The Linn LP12 is a legendary, highly upgradable turntable renowned for its warm, detailed sound and modular design that allows owners to incrementally reach top-tier performance. The asking price of €12,999 sits just below the 75th percentile (€13,138) of recent comparable used listings, making it a fair, well-positioned offer rather than a bargain or an overpriced outlier. It reflects the value of a complete, serviceable deck in the current EUR market, where median prices hover around €11,246.
This listing represents a smart buying opportunity for an enthusiast seeking a classic platform with genuine upgrade potential. The LP12’s reputation stems from its ability to accept premium arms and sub-chassis, letting buyers start modest and evolve toward €30,000+ specs over time. At this price, with EUR condition noted, the value lies in securing a well-loved, historically significant turntable that avoids the steep entry cost of new high-end models while retaining full sonic credibility and longevity.

Linn Products: Brand Overview
Linn Products was founded in 1973 by Scottish engineer Ivor Tiefenbrun in Glasgow as a vehicle to manufacture the Sondek LP12 turntable, which would become the company's most iconic product and a cornerstone of high-fidelity audio. The brand emerged during the golden era of British hi-fi with a revolutionary "source first" philosophy—challenging the prevailing industry belief that loudspeakers mattered most by demonstrating that superior sound quality begins with the audio source. This foundational principle has guided the company's engineering ethos for over five decades.
Linn's product portfolio spans the complete hi-fi chain, from turntables and tonearms to preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and loudspeakers. The company introduced the world's first microprocessor-controlled preamplifier and power amplifier in 1985 (the LK1 and LK2), establishing itself as an electronics specialist. From 2007 onward, Linn pivoted toward digital music streaming, becoming an early adopter of network-based audio playback supporting studio master-quality recordings at 24-bit/192 kHz resolution, and discontinued CD player production in 2009 to focus on this strategic direction.
Linn occupies the high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among discerning audiophiles and collectors for its uncompromising engineering approach and longevity. The brand's reputation rests on meticulous product design, acoustic isolation principles, and a commitment to eliminating weak links in the signal chain—a philosophy that has made Linn one of the most influential manufacturers in hi-fi history and a benchmark for quality-focused audio engineering.
