Linn Selekt LP12 with Arko Tonearm and Kendo Cartridge

Did you only know Linn Selekt as one of the best streaming clients in its class worldwide? Get ready: Selekt is now also available as an LP12 record player

Select LP12 consists of:

• Sondek LP12 turntable with Karousel bearing
• Kore sub-chassis made of aluminium, connected to an armboard machined from solid aluminium
• Aluminum trampoline baseboard
• Hybrid Lingo power supply (internal/external)
• Gimballed Arko tonearm made of 7075 aluminum
• Kendo Moving Coil (MC) pickup

The Selekt LP12 is a turntable that lets you indulge your musical passion and, with future upgrades, lets you discover more and more of the music.

With precision-made components from Linn's upper class, it ranks between the Majik LP12, the gateway to the world of hi-fi vinyl playback and the uncompromising pinnacle of Linn's technical endeavors, the Klimax LP 12.

The Selekt LP12 follows in the footsteps of its digital family member - the Selekt DSM - both in terms of its superior sound quality and its unlimited expandability.

Choose how well you listen to music

Music creates great connections. It connects us with people, places, thoughts and memories that we might otherwise never have encountered. Something so special deserves to be heard. And you can choose how well you hear it.

Features of the Select LP12

The best ensembles rely on the power of interaction. The Selekt LP12 features a selection of high-end components from the Linn range, all working in harmony to deliver impressive musicality.

Pickup Kendo

Kendo has a stable, nickel-plated 7075 aluminum housing. This special aluminum is the same one we use for our Arko tonearm and for which Kendo was designed to be the perfect partner. The resulting material synergy throughout the tonearm system ensures that unwanted resonances are effectively channeled away from the sensitive generator and out through the subchassis via the arm.

Tonearm Arko

This tonearm features an ultra-stable gimbal platform that allows for excellent bearing concentricity and alignment. The tonearm moves in space with a minimum of resistance - the cartridge bobbing and moving with finesse and fluidity with the warps and grooves of the record.
