Linn Radikal Standard

Why choose the Linn Radikal Standard?

The Linn Radikal Standard provides a higher-level motor and power-supply option for compatible Sondek LP12 turntables.

It can be considered as part of a wider LP12 upgrade where the existing deck and supporting components are suitable for a DC motor-control system.

DC motor and power supply

The Radikal Standard includes a DC motor and separate external power supply.

This differs from AC motor arrangements used with products such as the Majik PSU or Linn Lingo.

Standard enclosure

This version of Linn Radikal uses the standard enclosure.

Customers looking for Linn’s machined-enclosure version should consider the separate Linn Klimax Radikal product.

Designed for the Linn Sondek LP12

The Linn Radikal Standard is intended for suitably configured Linn Sondek LP12 turntables.

The age, motor, bearing, sub-chassis, suspension and existing power-supply arrangement should be checked before ordering.

A significant LP12 motor-control upgrade

Radikal Standard can be considered when moving beyond a compatible Majik PSU or Lingo-based motor arrangement.

The most appropriate upgrade path depends on the existing LP12 specification, connected system and customer priorities.

Suitable for wider LP12 upgrades

The Linn Radikal Standard is often best assessed as part of the wider turntable configuration rather than as an isolated component change.

The bearing, sub-chassis, tonearm, cartridge, phono stage and base should all be reviewed during the upgrade process.

Professional installation required

Installing the Linn Radikal Standard requires replacement and configuration of the LP12 motor system.

An experienced Linn specialist should complete the installation, check motor operation and carry out the necessary suspended-turntable setup.

Installation through Rococo Systems

As the Linn Radikal Standard is an individual LP12 upgrade component, installation arrangements should be confirmed when ordering.

Rococo Systems can supply and professionally install the Radikal Standard as part of an LP12 upgrade or service. Installation of equipment purchased elsewhere may be chargeable.

Radikal Standard or Klimax Radikal?

The Radikal Standard and Klimax Radikal both combine a DC motor with an external power supply, but use different enclosure specifications.

Rococo Systems can help determine which version best suits the customer’s LP12, wider Linn system and budget.

Expert Linn LP12 advice

Rococo Systems can inspect your existing Linn Sondek LP12 and confirm whether the Radikal Standard is compatible with its current configuration.

Please contact our Linn specialists before ordering so that the motor system, installation requirements and wider upgrade path can be reviewed.
