Linn LP12 Urika II Phono Stage Upgrade uses patented cutting-edge digital signal processing technology implementing the RIAA curve in the digital domain. This provides lower distortion, lower noise and more music.

Transported over Exakt Link, the audio data that Urika II delivers is perfectly preserved until it reaches your ears, providing a musical experience like never before. Linn's approach to the Urika II is the same as its approach to Exakt-enabled loudspeakers. This means each individual device can be optimised, correcting the variations inherent in the analogue stage to ensure outstanding performance every time.

Urika II can be set to operate with your favoured load values. Just select from Linn’s popular cartridges or add your own and replace it when you next upgrade your cartridge. Urika II is driven by Linn’s impressive Radikal power supply and is supported on the Trampolin baseboard built-in to the Sondek LP12’s platter to retain isolation in the phono stage and enhance deck suspension.

The ideal upgrade from Urika, Urika II has been tested in meticulous detail to quantify the transformation it creates and most crucially Linn uses only their ears to listen.

Who is Linn

Linn wants to bring you closer to the music you love, to feel every note, to experience your music with clarity and power, unlike anything you’ve ever heard. Their philosophy is simple too. Linn doesn’t make anything unless it’s better than what’s available elsewhere. For Linn, “good enough” isn’t good enough.

Every single system is built by hand in their Glasgow factory and bears the name of the person who made it. It’s built with precision and pride, designed for the future and engineered to extraordinarily tight tolerances. And of course, every product is rigorously tested before it leaves the factory in order to ensure that it delivers outstanding performance today and for many, many years to come.

A Linn system isn’t just something to enjoy now. It’s an investment that will enrich your whole life.
