Linn Krane Tonearm for Majik LP12 Revealed
Linn has given us word of the latest upgrades to the company's Majik LP12 turntable.
Linn's Majik LP12 is the second Linn source to get a boost in performance following on from the August launch of the new Majik DSM. Linn has now turned its focus to its Majik LP12: the entry-level variant of the iconic turntable.
We have been informed that the Majik LP12 will be soon sporting a new tonearm dubbed Krane which has been produced in partnership with Clearaudio, the much-respected German turntable brand. The new tonearm will replace the current Majik tonearm from November.
The Krane tonearm, which is based on an existing Clearaudio model, has been improved and modified to Linn's specifications, says the Glasgow-based hi-fi maker.
Gilad Tiefenbrun, Linn Managing Director, told StereoNET
We see this change as an opportunity to deliver increased performance from Majik LP12, with the new Krane tonearm achieving ever greater detail from the record for even better sound quality. Krane, coupled with the improvements provided by the new Karousel bearing, propels Majik LP12 performance to another level and firmly retains its position of best value, highest performing entry-level turntable.
Will we share more information, including pricing, closer to the official launch of the tonearm in November. So, stay tuned!

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
