Special Features Virtually as new, 1 owner for 30 years from new, little use. The price includes postage Special Information Hi-Fi Choice reviewers voted the LP12 "the most important hi-fi component ever sold in the UK" and The Absolute Sound ranked it the second most significant turntable of all time in . With its iconic success, Linn named their flagship CD player the Sondek CD12. Sondek stamped its place in history with a āspecialā sound signature. It was sharp and lively, more agile and, as Linn-founder Ivor Tiefenbrun would say, more āfoot-tappingā and āmusicalā than the other contenders. s advert The Sondek didnāt excel in deep bass or treble finesse but concentrated its energy within the broad frequency range in between ā where (some say) the majority of musical information resides, especially with popular music. In other words the Sondek was typical British hi-fi style of the 70s and 80s, mildly band-limited but pacy and āevocativeā. This, combined, in no small measure with Linnās marketing and upgrade strategy, developed considerable brand loyalty and fan-base. (Controversial Linn advert from sā¦.) So, whilst the Linn Sondek may not be āichibanā or ānumero-unoā of top vinyl-spinners (without regard to price), having sold nigh-on units (based on serial numbering), it clearly occupies a central position in the pantheon of audiophile turntables.
