Linn Urika II Built-in MC Phono Stage (Exakt Link out)

A breakthrough in phono stage design, Urika II uses our cutting-edge digital signal processing technology to implement 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. We take the same approach with Urika II that we do with our Exakt-enabled loudspeakers. This means we 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 our list of popular 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, we’ve tested Urika II in incredible detail to measure the difference it makes, and most importantly of all we used our ears to listen.

Key Features

The Linn Urika II is an internal moving coil (MC) phono stage designed for the Sondek LP12, delivering precise RIAA equalisation and optimised performance for your chosen cartridge. It converts the music signal to digital at the earliest possible point, providing a lossless digital output through Exakt Link. Component manufacturing tolerances are measured and corrected to support accurate, consistent performance. To use its Exakt Link output, the system requires an Exakt-enabled Linn DS or Linn DSM player.
