Brand: Linn

The Linn Ittok LVII is a premium-quality turntable designed and developed by Linn Products, a Scottish audio equipment manufacturer. It sits at the top of Linn's Ittok turntable line, which includes the LVII, LX, and LX-R.The Ittok LVII is named after Gaston Bachelard's book Poetics of Space, where the letter "I" represents the landscape and "ttok" represents the house. This nod to literature reflects the bespoke and handcrafted nature of the Ittok LVII, which is built to order in Linn's Glasgow factory.The Ittok LVII features a highly-stable, three-point solutions-based substructure with a non-resonant outrigger to secure the plinth. It has a unique, self-contained, DC-powered motor assembly, which significantly reduces vibration and improves musicality. The AC-powered version of the motor comes in an optional motor cover, featuring Origin Live's Quadrupole shielding system, for even further reduction in unwanted vibration.The tonearm is the latest Linn Encore frame, which has a lower joint made from Alnico Magnets for improved tracking ability. The Ittok LVII also comes with the Linn marginal belt drive system, which involves the belt being routed under a neoprene sleeve, greatly reducing motor noise.The turntable has a factory-fitted, low-mass Exact cartridge by Linn, specifically adapted and weighted for superb performance. However, users can upgrade to the more ambitious Linn Akito, a low-output moving-coil, if preferred.The Ittok LVII comes with a robust 1kg MDF dustcover, which doubles as a removable mat. Additionally, it has two sets of output terminals to facilitate the wiring configuration of the user's preference.The Ittok LVII has an impressive stacking height, thanks to its bespoke vibration control feet and supplier options. It also has a sleek and sophisticated appearance, with an anodized aluminum alloy upper plinth and three-tone color scheme that complements the user's preferred turntable finish.Overall, the Linn Ittok LVII is a stunning and elegant turntable that offers exceptional sound quality with unmatched build quality and attention to detail. Its bespoke nature, unfortunately, incurrs a higher cost than other high-end turntables in the market, but for the true audiophile seeking the ultimate vinyl experience, the Linn Ittok LVII is a worthy investment.
