I would like to hear from ex-Linnophiles

Musickdok aka John I had no intentions to Linn bash. Im actually interested in the Majic as well as the Tukans. Peace

It was with great relief that I sold my LP12 and moved on to a highly modded Thorens TD-124 and then a SOTA Cosmos. Raanan

I have fallen madly in love with many components from many manufacturers and I must say that my Linn LP 12 Lingo was one of the most boring, uninteresting, and unsatisfying pieces of "high end" gear I have ever owned. This whole Linn cult thing is placebo effect propogated by clever marketers and hyped through the arrogant, xenophopic British "hi-fi" community. A dealer once told me that their rep encouraged the dealers to point out customers' feet tapping along during Linn demos (even if their feet were still) as "proof" of the magical, musical Linn sound. I think the turntable was a piece of junk. I was equally unimpressed with a Linn Karik/Numeric auditioned through Mark Levinson electronics and Wilson Watt/Puppies. I will say, however, that an old pair of Linn Kans, played up against a wall with a Naim Nait sounded pretty good, but nothing to get delirious over and join a cult.

Didn't i read similar posts? Instead of Linn...i believe it was Krell?
