Hi-Fi+ August 2023

 

  hi-fi+ is a magazine that is serious about hi-fi. Our articles are intended to help you get the best from your system, rather than simply telling you to buy another one. Our reviews only cover product that we think is worthwhile. You can read more about that by looking at our reviews policy, but lets just say that our attitude to equipment is rather different, and we hope, much more informative. We haven't forgotten that hi-fi is supposed to be fun!

Linn Sondek LP12 Turntable Celebrates Its' 50th Anniversary
More than 100,000 of these high-performance decks have been made. 
Editorial By Alan Sircom
We no longer publish news in the pages of the magazine. With news running at the speed of the Internet, by the time that news piece makes it into print in a monthly magazine, it's not 'news'... it's 'olds'. But this month, there was a news item worth commenting on; not necessarily for the news itself, but the seemingly inevitable rant that came as a result of its announcement. It's 50 years since the first Linn Sondek LP12 turntable rolled out of a factory in Glasgow. Since then, more than 100,000 of these high-performance decks have been made, and a brisk trade in updates and upgrades (from both Linn and third parties) has sprung up. And while the LP12 has its share of detractors and nay-sayers, it still represents a standard both in sound and build, that others can be judged against.
