LP12 KORE - 3 piece bonded sub-chassis

Description

The Kore sub-chassis and armboard is an essential upgrade step for anyone looking to improve their LP12 and bring it up to Akurate-level performance.
 

Designed for extra rigidity and removal of unwanted damping, the Kore sub-chassis is strengthened by a multi-layer, box construction of 1.5 mm thick aluminium. Three layers are bonded together using a unique Linn-specified adhesive to form an incredibly stiff structure, while keeping the weight low.

The Kore armboard is precisely machined from solid aluminium and further strengthened with ribs on the underside to provide the ultimate rigidity. This is then bonded to the sub-chassis so that the assembly mirrors the valuable properties of a single piece; as the arm collar is bolted directly to the sub-chassis, the arm has a direct connection to the bearing.

Key Features & Design

• Multi-Layer Construction: The sub-chassis uses a 1.5mm thick, multi-layer box construction made of three aluminum layers bonded together with a proprietary Linn adhesive, yielding high stiffness at a low weight. [1]
• Machined Armboard: The armboard is precision-machined from solid aluminum with reinforcing ribs underneath. [1]
• Direct Connection: The armboard is bonded directly to the sub-chassis, allowing the arm collar to bolt straight through so the tonearm has a direct, unbroken connection to the main bearing. [1, 2, 3]
• Versatility: Available in different versions to accommodate Linn tonearms, as well as models for Rega, SME, and Naim Aro tonearms.
