Linn Kore Turntable Subchassis

Linn Kore Turntable Sub-Chassis

Precision-Machined Armboard

Inspired by the engineering principles behind Linn's flagship Keel sub-chassis, the Kore is a significant upgrade for LP12 owners seeking greater performance and a substantial step towards Akurate-level sound quality.

Product Features

• Aluminium subchassis
• Machined-from-solid armboard
• Compatible with Linn Ekos SE, Ekos, Akito, and Ittok tonearms
• Versions also available for Rega, SME & Naim tonearms

Designed to maximise rigidity while minimising unwanted resonance, the Kore features a sophisticated box-section construction formed from three layers of 1.5 mm aluminium. These layers are permanently bonded using a specially formulated Linn adhesive, creating an exceptionally rigid yet lightweight structure that provides an ideal platform for accurate vinyl playback.

The integrated armboard is CNC-machined from a solid block of aluminium and reinforced with precision-engineered ribs underneath for even greater stiffness. It is permanently bonded to the sub-chassis to behave as a single, unified component, ensuring the tonearm maintains the most direct and stable connection possible to the main bearing. The result is improved energy transfer, greater precision and enhanced musical performance from your LP12.

The Linn Kore Sub-Chassis is a significant performance upgrade for the Sondek LP12, designed to provide a more rigid, stable and acoustically controlled platform for the tonearm and suspension system. Sitting above the Majik Sub-Chassis in Linn’s upgrade hierarchy, the Kore delivers improved precision and musical performance through advanced materials and construction techniques.

Manufactured from a combination of machined aluminium and carbon fibre, the Linn Kore Sub-Chassis provides exceptional rigidity while effectively controlling unwanted resonances. This carefully engineered structure creates a stronger connection between the tonearm and the LP12’s suspension system, allowing the cartridge to track the record groove with greater accuracy and consistency.

The improved stiffness and resonance control translate into a more open, detailed and engaging listening experience. Music gains greater focus, improved bass definition and enhanced rhythmic precision, while subtle details and dynamic changes become easier to appreciate.

For LP12 owners looking to unlock more performance from their existing turntable, the Linn Kore Sub-Chassis is a highly worthwhile upgrade. It represents a major step forward in the LP12’s modular upgrade path, offering many of the benefits of Linn’s premium engineering while maintaining excellent value and compatibility with a wide range of LP12 configurations.
