Is there a great LP12 set-up person in SoCal?

Second Stan at Shelley's. I forgot about him.

Thanks everyone. Gglinn, I'll definitelty give Kurt a call. If I can get it set-up locally, that would be preferable.

Thanks again.

Call Stan Zeiden at Shelly's Audio in Woodland Hills (a Linn dealer). He's the best Linn guy I know of in the Western U.S. Don't know if he would make a house call to AZ, though.

I would probably go with Gene Rubin in Ventura. He hasn't been a Linn dealer for some time now, but he was for about 15 years and has set up hundreds, if not thousands of LP 12s.

Although, that might be a long haul for someone looking for a setup guy from LA South to San Diego. (I'm assuming that Stratguy is somewhere close to the midpoint of the LA & SD like Orange County)

Hell, I'm in LA and Ventura is a haul...A nice one, though.

Brooks is great with turntables and has always supported vinyl, but he has never been a Linn dealer - he was an Oracle dealer when the Delphi and the LP 12 were going head-to-head (shows you how long I've been around). Randy has been an on-again, off-again turntable guy and has also never been a Linn dealer.

You really can't find better in Southern Cal. And his shop is a great place to hang out at.

No set up device can replace a skilled practitioner of the art of turntable/cartridge alignment. Randy at Ultimate enchantment in Santa Monica, on the west side of Los Angeles, is your man.

The guy in Fort Collins Colo. does a great setup on LP12's and does ship them all over the US. You might conact him at sales@audioalternative.com. If you don;t have a box he can ship you a new LP12 box as he keeps them in stock. He has done mine and does a great job with a number of little minute details one wouldn't think of.
