LINN Karousel Bearing upgrade for LP12
LINN Karousel single point bearing upgrade for LP12.
The LINN Karousel is the brand new bearing upgrade from LINN. It replaces the Cirkus bearing that has been running for the past 27 years. The bearing is the most critical part of the turntable design and makes a huge difference to performance. The Karousel is the result of an extensive 12 month R&D project to investigate how to make the bearing quieter and more stable. The new bearing is made from 303 grade stainless steel and is now split into three main sections. The main bearing body now fits to the sub-chassis using three lugs which fit into the fixing holes where the bolts used to fit. The top part of the bearing is a clamp that clamps the sub-chassis and bearing tightly together making the interface between the two more rigid. The bottom of the Karousel features a removable sump which allows the oil to be changed without a full turntable strip down and the thrust plate to be inspected for wear.
The Karousel offers a step change in performance for your LP12. If you are looking at your next LP12 upgrade then it should be your number one priority irrespective of the current specification of your deck.
