The Linn Basik turntable control system is a rocker Simple chipboard plinth of the Linn Basik turntable (superior to MDF due to its more random granular structure) carried the same Philips Impex 24-pole AC synchronous motor (originallyĬonceived for Philips own video tape system) as the Axis and Sondek, but without the sophisticated Valhalla or Axis control system. The Axis soon found itself adrift in the market place, with an escalating priceĬompeting against mid-price CD players, as its price rose in Mk2 form, and plagued by a reputation for motor power supply problems, so a cheaper to make entry level product was needed. Late 80s originally with the Basik Plus LV-X and then with the Akito tonearm when it arrived with the Basik turntable. The Axis had widened Linn's turntable portfolio as the Sondek LP12 upgrades caused its inflationary spiral to exceed even those dark times, appearing at a keen £299 price point, in the The Linn Basik turntable has a plastic sub-platter of the same dimensions as the mazak sub platter of the LP12 and a much lighter aluminium outer platter with a thinner rim and The Basik also lacks the Axis sophisticated but fragileĮlectronic control for the motor. While the Axis had shared the pre- Cirkus LP12 bearing, the Basik had a shorter spindle and simpler bearing. Carrying the new Akito arm, that replaced the Basik Plus arm this simple attractive looking turntable shared similar external dimensions as the LP12 Sondek and theĬontinuing Axis turntables. Probably hoping to replace the Rega Planar 2 on the shelves of its dealers as the de facto entry level turntable, Linn Products of Glasgow, introduced their own simple rigid chassis turntable.
