Linn Upgrades

The LP12 rumor has been circulating for a few months now. I heard that the upgrade may consist of a one piece carbon fiber subchassis and tonearm board.

If you check out the Naim forum or the pink fish media site, there has been great speculation (and even pictures) of the Keel, the new one-piece integrated subchassis/armboard assembley, fabricated of cast aluminum/titanium. Of course, there's also the upgraded Ekos, the Ekos SE, with a titanium armwand. The Keel is reputed to retail for around $3000 - silly expensive to keep the old codger in the same ballpark with the big boys (IMHO). Happy listening,

There's some photos in the Vinyl Engine as well...

My local dealer said the sub chassis will be milled billet aluminum and the Ekos as mentioned above. Take a look at the new sterephile. Dudly is looking at some non-linn upgrades.
