Linn Lingo 4 AC Motor Supply
Linn has been offering upgrade power supplies for decades and the latest Lingo 4 is the best affordable AC Motor Supply they have ever offered. Lingo 4 has received a major upgrade to deliver even better sound from your vinyl. Ground-breaking technology derived from the extraordinary Radikal power supply has taken performance to the next level.
Lingo 4 incorporates a motor speed management system and uses digital processing technology to make the platter spin more accurately and more consistently. On top of that, it also auto-calibrates the motor when the Sondek LP12 is powered on to ensure this accuracy and consistency every time. That's crucial for ensuring you can hear your music the way the artist intended as the slightest speed variation will affect the pitch. An inaccurate turntable is like an untuned musical instrument.
With on-board circuitry that fits inside the deck and a new external slimline power supply which can be easily concealed, this latest model is neater, more compact and cleverer than ever.
The source of the audio source, Lingo is the first improvement to make to your LP12, providing a clear upgrade from the internal Majik power supply and previous Lingo models.
Our Take On The Linn Lingo 4
Sure, the Lingo 4 will help you get more information out of your records for a pretty reasonable cost but we think, for many people, there may be an even more compelling reason to upgrade.
These days there are lots of albums being remastered and released as 45 RPM records which sound considerably better when done right. The basic LP12 Majik turntable plays both 33⅓ and 45 RPM records but in order to play 45s you have to remove the platter, remove the belt, put the 45 RPM adaptor on the motor spindle, reattach the belt and put the platter back on. Now if you only have to do this once a listening session then ok, but what if the next record you reach for is 33⅓ and the one after that is 45? You can see where we're going with this. If you have a collection of albums that includes quite a few 45s then this will get very tiresome very quickly.
Well, drum roll please, the Lingo 4 doesn't just make all your music sound better, but it also comes with Electronic Speed Change which could be a game changer for many.
