WOODSONG AUDIO PRIVATE RESERVE LINN SONDEK LP12 SNAKESKIN KOA PLINTH

Woodsong Audio is widely recognized as the maker of the finest plinths available for the Linn Sondek LP12. The top LP12 dealers and specialists all over the world, as well as many, many LP12 owners the world over, recognize the high level of attention to detail, precision, and extreme quality that is a Woodsong LP12 plinth.
This listing is for a standard Series Woodsong Audio LP12 plinth, in your choice of finish. Please contact me to discuss what is available, and the time for delivery.

This listing is for a Private Reserve Snakeskin Koa plinth. This particular board was brought to the mainland more than 30 years ago. It has very strong figure, and incredible chatoyance. The photo does not even come close. Koa is near the very top of the moist expensive woods of any that I buy, and is very difficult to find withy figure like this, and of this quality. Koa is very scarce, and grows only on Hawaii.

The LP12 in its current form of the Radikal, Urika, Akiva, Ekos SE, the new Khan top plate, maybe a Naim Aro if you can find one, and a Woodsong plinth, not much can touch this deck. The current LP12 sits among the very best turntable systems available today without question. The LP12 is one of the most popular decks on the planet, and has a colorful history. The LP12 also happens to be one of the most polarizing turntables ever, you either love them, or hate them, most opinions not being based on how the deck actually sounds, or from A/B comparisons…. The current LP12 ROCKS!

Woodsong LP12 plinths are created from the finest of exotic and domestic hardwoods, hand selected for beautiful grain, and structural integrity over the long haul. The process of buying wood is constant, wood arrives at our facility every week, in many, many flavors, all carefully selected. Most often, the boards are immediately rough milled, many species are coated in shellac, and then set in drying racks in a climate controlled room for a long rest. Some of this wood sits for years before it is ready. To buy a board of Cocobolo for instance, turn it into a plinth and ship it within 2 months, this is asking for trouble. Patience and proper seasoning are a must.

Woodsong LP12 plinths are made to an extremely high level of precision, in every dimension. Some tolerances are +/- 0.02” , others are not so tight, but attention is required, and given, to every aspect of the plinth. Woodsong LP12 plinths are made in batches from several, up to 40-50 at a time. Currently, we have a very large selection of plinths that are nearing completion, in many species of wood.

Installation is exactly as with a factory pinth, though you , (the technician installing the plinth!) may likely find that some aspects of installation may actually be easier with a Woodsong plinth, due to the very tight manufacturing tolerances. Every hole is drilled for every factory part, and for every incarnation of the venerable LP12.

Please contact me directly for availability and specific details. Sometimes I have plinths available for immediate shipping, and always, there are plinths that are close to finish.
