Linn Karousel Bearing — Free with Any Linn Upgrade Over £3,500 This Summer
For July and August, Martins Hi-Fi is offering a complimentary Linn Karousel Bearing Kit with any purchase of Linn products or upgrades totalling £3,500 or more. It is a compelling offer for any LP12 owner who has been considering a significant step forward with their turntable.
What Qualifies?
The promotion covers the full range of Linn LP12 upgrades — including Klimax Radikal, Linn Keel SE Sub-Chassis, Ekos SE, Ekstatik, Linn Arko Tonearm, and Linn Bedrok Plinth. Any combination of qualifying Linn purchases that reaches the £3,500 threshold triggers the free Karousel. Spend on Linn LP12 Servicing & Upgrades also counts toward the total.
Why Karousel Matters
Introduced in March 2020, Karousel is Linn's third-generation single-point bearing design for the Sondek LP12. It delivers smoother rotation and greater rotational stability — and the audible result is a dramatically lower noise floor, tighter and more authoritative bass, and a clarity across the frequency range that makes familiar records sound newly resolved.
It established itself quickly as one of the most transformative upgrades ever offered for the LP12 — and it is compatible with every Sondek LP12 ever built. If your turntable predates 2020, Karousel is widely regarded as the single most important upgrade you can make.
An Ideal Moment to Act
If you have been planning a meaningful LP12 upgrade — a new sub-chassis, a better tonearm, a Klimax power supply — this summer promotion means Karousel comes with it at no additional cost. That is a significant saving on what is, by any measure, an essential piece of engineering.
The promotion runs through July and August only. To discuss which upgrades are right for your LP12 and your system, get in touch with Dave, Chris and Tim — our specialists who know the LP12 intimately and can advise on the upgrade path that will make the greatest difference to your particular turntable.
