SOUND TO FILL YOUR HOME
Linn systems integrate seamlessly out of the box, making multi-room setup a cinch.
EXCEPTIONAL TURNTABLES
The Sondek LP12 is fully modular, so you can build it to your own unique specifications. Choice should always empower, not overpower. So we've pre-configured three complete versions of LP12 to show you what's possible in the world of Linn sound. You'll hear more music than you thought possible from the groove of a record.

Linn Klimax DSM
The Linn Klimax DSM network player and preamplifier integrates an in-house discrete Organik DAC architecture within a low-resonance machined aluminium billet chassis to process digital streams up to 24-bit/384 kHz PCM and DSD256. Serving as both a reference digital player and an analogue control hub, it resolves network audio streams, local digital libraries, and physical sources with uniform timing accuracy and an ultra-low noise floor. Machined with precision in black or silver finishes, it is engineered to serve as the definitive source component for high-performance audio systems.
The Hi-Fi Centre Team Take
Interacting with the precision-machined top dial and viewing crisp artwork on the 1600 x 480 front display brings a satisfying, tactile ease to daily listening. Linn's integrated Space Optimisation software effectively neutralises room-boundary acoustic issues, allowing clean low-frequency weight and open midrange detail to emerge without demanding physical room treatments. It produces a natural, unforced musical delivery that keeps extended listening sessions utterly fatigue-free, whether following complex orchestral passages or late-night solo acoustic recordings.
Key Acoustic & Design Features
- Organik DAC Architecture: Converts audio utilizing proprietary FPGA processing and discrete components for exceptional clock accuracy and lower background noise.
