A breakthrough in phono stage design
Urika II
Using cutting-edge digital signal processing technology, Urika II now carries out the key process of implementing the RIAA curve in the digital domain. This brings you lower distortion, lower noise and more music.
Transported over Exakt Link, the musical information that Urika II delivers is perfectly preserved until the moment it reaches your ears, delivering a musical experience like never before.
That’s not all. They take the same approach with Urika II that they did with their Exakt-enabled loudspeakers. This meant they could optimise each and every individual device, correcting the variations inherent in the analogue stage to ensure outstanding performance every time.
Urika II can be optimised to work with your preferred cartridge load values. Simply choose from Linn's list of popular cartridges or enter your own. You can even optimise Urika II for your most comfortable armchair, and easily change when you next upgrade your cartridge.
Urika II is powered by Linn's extraordinary Radikal power supply and is mounted on the integrated Trampolin base board within the plinth of your Sondek LP12 to maintain phono stage isolation and improve deck suspension.
The perfect upgrade for Urika, they have tested Urika II in incredible detail to measure the difference it makes, and most importantly of all we used our ears to listen.
