Linn Radikal 2 (Machined Enclosure)

£4,499.00

PRE-OWNED Machined Enclosure Power Supply in Black

Original Retail: £6,500
Your Price: £4,499

The Radikal 2 is an LP12 upgrade comprising a DC motor, motor control unit, and power supply. It takes the performance of the Sondek LP12 to an entirely new level.

Radikal 2 improves in all three critical areas: Motor Control — a new FPGA-managed motor control unit (MCU) and the latest motor technology for ultra-smooth rotation; Motor — a DC motor design that generates negligible electromagnetic interference, with an all-new housing that decouples the motor from the deck more effectively and lower-noise voltage regulators; Power Supply — an improved board design with whisper-quiet supply rails, shorter signal paths, smaller componentry, and minimal overall noise, yielding Linn's all-time lowest noise floor.

The machined enclosure variant is made from solid aluminium (anodised black) to match a Klimax-level system.

The improved board design at the heart of new Radikal incorporates whisper-quiet power supply rails, coupled with the use of smaller, more modern components – yielding our all-time lowest noise floor. These quieter, regulated supply rails not only provide impeccably pure power to the motor, but have the added halo effect of making our Urika phono stages sound even better.

Radikal’s cutting-edge motor design generates negligible electromagnetic interference, effectively eliminating it as a source of distortion. To make things mechanically quieter than ever, an all-new acoustic housing decouples the motor from the deck more effectively. The motor itself features smaller, lower-noise components, making everything electrically quieter than ever too.
