About Booplinth

A new, advanced and better-engineered plinth for the Linn Sondek LP12.

Born from our passion for vinyl, designed to reveal more of the music.

Linn Sondek LP12 with a natural bamboo Booplinth

Engineered to reveal more.

Booplinth is the first one-piece plinth construction for the Linn LP12 turntable. It is an engineered plinth, machined from solid bamboo laminate, providing the construction integrity and sound quality traditional LP12 plinth constructions cannot offer.

Booplinth is not a simple product to machine and manufacture. It is also labour intensive, requiring 18 individual production and quality control stages to guarantee the uniform upgrade quality in every Booplinth.

As Linn Specialists — brianandtrevors and House of Linn in Manchester, UK — we look for ways of producing even better sound quality from our components and systems. Our passion for vinyl and the Linn Sondek LP12 turntable led us to redesign and produce a new, advanced and better-engineered plinth for the LP12.

Our goal was to apply the highly effective acoustic isolation properties of bamboo to a new and advanced plinth that reduces vibrations by more effectively housing and isolating all of the LP12’s component parts. This includes the bearings, inner and outer platter, sub-chassis, internal power supply and motor, Linn top plate, tonearm and cartridge.

The random structure of the bamboo grass and air in every one-piece, low-mass Booplinth upgrade diminishes signal pollution all the way to the stylus tip, revealing hidden recorded detail, greater clarity and a more musical performance.

Booplinth is designed and engineered to reveal the hidden recorded detail and a more faithful musical performance that is obscured by traditional wooden LP12 plinth constructions. The Booplinth difference — more recorded detail and improved clarity — is apparent from the first recorded note.

Booplinth’s quieter plinth properties transform LP12 vinyl playback and refocus the LP12 upgrade path, making Booplinth the fundamental upgrade that will improve the performance of any specification of Linn LP12 turntable.

The Booplinth difference

One advanced design. Six reasons to listen.

01

A universal LP12 upgrade

Booplinth is the first one-piece, precision-machined plinth and universal performance upgrade for the Linn Sondek LP12, designed to reveal hidden recorded detail from any specification LP12.

Machined from solid bamboo

Booplinth is a unique, innovative and advanced plinth design, machined complete from a solid bamboo laminate block.

Hidden recorded detail

Booplinth reveals hidden recorded detail and a transformational performance traditional wooden LP12 plinth constructions simply cannot deliver. By isolating internal LP12 mechanics and components more effectively from vibrations, it reveals detail and dimensionality obscured by traditional plinth constructions.

A quieter construction

Booplinth is lightweight, rigid and strong: a one-piece, low-mass construction with none of the internally glued, screwed, mitred or clamped sections and corner braces found in traditional LP12 plinths.
