Why choose the Linn Karousel Bearing Kit?
The Linn Karousel Bearing Kit allows owners of compatible LP12 turntables to replace an earlier main bearing with Linn’s current bearing design.
It forms a central part of the turntable’s mechanical structure, supporting the inner platter and allowing the platter assembly to rotate accurately.
Designed for the Linn Sondek LP12
Karousel is engineered specifically for compatible Linn Sondek LP12 turntables rather than for general turntable use.
The age, specification and condition of the LP12 should be reviewed before ordering so that compatibility and any related servicing requirements can be confirmed.
A foundation for the platter assembly
The main bearing supports the inner platter, outer platter and record during playback.
Correct installation is therefore essential to maintaining the alignment and mechanical stability of the rotating assembly.
Part of an LP12 upgrade journey
The Linn Karousel Bearing Kit can be considered as part of a wider LP12 service or upgrade programme.
Its suitability should be assessed alongside the turntable’s sub-chassis, suspension, motor control, tonearm, cartridge and power supply.
Professional installation required
Installing the bearing requires the LP12 to be partially dismantled and correctly rebuilt.
The bearing, suspension, platter level and overall turntable setup should be checked by an experienced Linn specialist once installation is complete.
Turntable condition assessment
Before fitting the Karousel Bearing Kit, the existing LP12 should be inspected for wear, contamination, damaged components or previous modifications.
This helps ensure that the upgrade is installed into a sound and correctly configured turntable.
Expert Linn LP12 advice
Rococo Systems can inspect your LP12, confirm compatibility and advise whether the Linn Karousel Bearing Kit is the appropriate next upgrade.
