Angeboten wird „Sondek LP12“ von LINN als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler komplett“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3762798029 endet am 09.10.2026 um 11:21 Uhr.
The LP12 remains one of the most notable suspended decks ever made, and at €2,800 this asking price sits essentially on the market median of €2,795 and just above the €2,796 75th percentile. That makes it a fair, market-aligned ask rather than a bargain, but also not an overreach for a clean example.
What you’re paying for is the deck’s long-standing upgrade path, strong musical timing, and broad support ecosystem, which still make it a smart buy for someone who wants to keep refining a turntable over time. At this level, condition matters more than folklore: a well-maintained, properly set up example with recent service history, decent armboard/fitted arm, and complete suspension parts is the real upside; without that, the price should be firmer to justify.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
