Linn Selekt LP12 Turntable

The Selekt LP12 is the mid-tier of the Sondek LP12 program — sitting between the Majik LP12 (entry) and the Klimax LP12 (reference), and specified with precision-engineered components drawn directly from the upper Linn range. For a Sondek LP12 that delivers serious flagship-adjacent vinyl performance without paying the Klimax price, the Selekt LP12 is the specification Linn built for that tier.

The Selekt LP12 comes decked out with a Kendo cartridge, Arko tonearm, Lingo power supply, Kore arm board and subchassis, and Trampolin baseboard — each of which represents Linn’s mid-tier component design at its respective position in the turntable’s mechanical chain. The Kore subchassis specifically is Linn’s between-tier arm-support platform: a machined-aluminum design that improves on the Trampolin-only Majik configuration and provides the mechanical stepping stone toward the single-billet Keel arm board that defines the Klimax specification.

The Sondek LP12’s defining engineering claim is that no turntable ever purchased need become obsolete. A Selekt LP12 bought today is fully upgradeable — Kendo cartridge to Ekstatik, Lingo power supply to Radikal, Kore arm board to Keel SE, standard plinth to Bedrok — one component at a time, until the turntable arrives at complete Klimax specification. The platform simply evolves alongside the listener.

At $16,912 in current Linn pricing, the Selekt LP12 is available for audition at the Scottsdale showroom. Walk in during business hours or book ahead for a prepared listening session — Selekt LP12 is the point at which the Linn upgrade philosophy first becomes tangible, and hearing it against Klimax LP12 in the same room is the audition worth booking.
