The new lock-nut fastening method means quicker and easier removal and replacement without the need for the sub-chassis to be removed which affects suspension/tonearm setup. Karousel’s reduction in friction means that it will last longer. The combination of these changes leads to the reduction of noise for more accurate vinyl reproduction. A stronger housing for the thrust pad, combined with a smaller, stiffer form and the new coating improves the critical area that supports the platter rotation and mass. A key part of this new design is the substantial lock-nut fastening which increases rigidity at what was previously the weakest point. The spindle is better supported thanks to improved tolerances of the bearing liners and the Diamond-Like Carbon coating on the thrust pad provides reduced friction, together improving the ‘noise floor’ of the turntable and in turn, musical reproduction.Ī stronger coupling has been achieved between the platter, spindle, bearing housing and sub-chassis, thanks to the Stainless Steel material chosen and the new design implemented.

Innovations in design combined with new material selection in critical parts of the bearing result in smoother rotation for better sound. This latest performance upgrade raises the bar for vinyl reproduction yet again and presents the opportunity for every LP12 owner to elevate the performance of their LP12”. Linn told us: “Karousel offers a more refined motion and greater stability allowing an even better sound with a longer lasting design. This innovative take on the design for 2020 has been made possible through technological advances in material science and machining capabilities, as well as mechanical engineering expertise gained from almost half a century of designing and manufacturing. A testament to its design, the basic principles of the bearing have remained and Karousel is only the third evolution of this design in almost 50 years.
