The Linn Sondek LP12 is a very special turntable to me, probably my very favorite of all.

Woodsong Audio LP12 plinths are identical in dimension to the current Linn supplied LP12 plinths, made from solid, kiln-dried and properly seasoned wood, with tolerances in construction measured down to thousandths of an inch. All holes are pre-drilled, exactly as the latest Linn LP12 plinths. Throughout the creation of these LP12 plinths, redundancy in measurement is the rule, checking and re-checking flatness, square-ness, and accuracy, at every step along the way to ensure a beautiful, technically excellent result. They are offered in a flat faced’ style, that allows the wood grain to really shine, or also in the classic, more traditional ‘fluted’ style.

Woodsong plinths are made from a wide range of species of wood from around the World. I am constantly searching out special woods for the creation of these plinths. The utmost care is taken in selecting woods for stability, aesthetics, and sonic quality. The same care and patience is given to milling, ‘racking’ (storage), and in ensuring proper seasoning prior to turning these gems into LP12 plinths. Many of the same techniques used by luthiers in the creation of fine musical instruments are utilized in my process.

Many people have experienced significant sonic improvements with the upgrade to a Woodsong LP12 plinth, and aesthetically, a new plinth will take your deck to the next level.

ARTIST SERIES:

The Artist Series plinths represent the highest level of the art of the LP12 plinth. These are made from very special boards which are more difficult to find, expensive, and often require special techniques in the process of creating an LP12 plinth. These woods commonly take more time to create your plinth from.
