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. Linn took the same approach with Urika II that they did with Exakt-enabled loudspeakers. This means Linn can 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 list of Linn cartridges or enter your own, and easily change when you next upgrade your cartridge.
Urika II is powered by our 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 from Urika, Linn have tested Urika II in incredible detail to measure the difference it makes, and most importantly of all we used our ears to listen.

"If you look up the phrase ‘Urika 2’ in Google, you not only get information on the Linn phono stage, but about a Beretta semi-automatic shotgun, which is very popular among clay pigeon, skeet, and trap shooters. The urge to say something like ‘Linn’s Urika II outguns its rivals’ is too hard to resist. For good reason – the Urika II is a hard act to follow."
