Linn advocates are among the most loyal I have ever "seen" in the audio world. If an individual owner has a problem with set-up, it is almost always the fault of the owner, and if only he or she would go to a dealer or some other Linn expert for expert set-up, or purchase this or that expensive option, all would be well. It's crossed my mind more than once that a major turntable icon, which the LP12 is, ought to be more bullet proof. This is not meant as a criticism of its performance, as I have only heard LP12-based systems at audio shows, where the performance was just fine.
Does anyone manufacture an alternative Linn Sondek belt pulley ?
I am so tired of adjusting that terrible pulley that my Linn Sondek has at present. I cannot stop the belt from slipping, regardless of how many belts I have changed and however many adjustments I have made. Maybe on my TT, the axis of the motor mount wrt the chassis is bent..... Regardless, I do not want to spend any more money on TTs except maybe just for a new fool proof pulley. Besides, its sound to me, is still great, when the belt does not slip.
If anyone manufactures a Linn GROOVED pulley for a standard 2 or 3 mm diameter ROUND belt, it would be perfect. It would be so much more capable of dealing with slight imperfections and age and mechanics of older TTs, which I am prepared to live with.
Anyone know any third parties doing this ?
Thanks
