The Sondek LP12-50 celebrates its 50th anniversary as the most renowned product in the history of high-fidelity. This exclusive edition turntable was created in partnership with the esteemed creative collective LoveFrom, led by Sir Jony Ive, renowned for their iconic design language.

“Last year, I was approached by Sir Jony Ive. He shared his own enduring admiration for Linn – our designs, our ethos and our relentless pursuit of musical perfection. I was pleased to be able to reciprocate his admiration, and to discuss our shared values of beauty in design, peerless performance, user experience, and attention to detail. Our upcoming fiftieth anniversary year presented the perfect opportunity to create something extraordinary, together – and where better to start than with the product that started it all, Sondek LP12?“

Gilad Tiefenbrun, Linn CEO

“This project has been so life-affirming and so joyful to work on… LoveFrom has worked together with brilliant, kind people at Linn who share our obsessiveness to make something wonderful and without compromise. And at the same time, we have been able to play a small part in celebrating fifty years of an icon.”

Sir Jony Ive, LoveFrom
