Sehr schöner Linn Ekos SE/1 (neue Version mit größerem Headshell)
Technisch und optisch sehr gut. Siehe Bilder.

Abholung in München und Versand möglich.
Verkauf von Privat. Zustand wie beschrieben. Rücknahme und Gewährleistung ausgeschlossen.
New, the current Ekos SE sits in flagship territory at roughly €5,600 before any dealer variation, so €2,600 for an excellent original Linn EKOS is a substantial saving. Against six recent used comparables, however, it is above the €1,641 median and comfortably below the €3,711 upper quartile: fair for genuinely excellent condition, but not a bargain.
The EKOS remains a highly desirable LP12 arm, combining precise construction with strong timing, expressive microdynamics, excellent low-level detail, and an energetic, communicative presentation. It makes particular sense in a well-sorted Sondek system and can let a capable cartridge show its strengths without sounding bland. At this price, verify that the arm lift, bearings, cueing, cartridge tags, armrest, mounting hardware, and original packaging are all present and sound; otherwise, the clean condition makes this a credible enthusiast purchase rather than an obvious overpay.
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.
