The cable aspect of the Linn setup to assure correct suspension travel is not that difficult to perform, but can be a little tedious. Even at that, it doesn't take that long. I've never thought about changing the cable in my 12 mainly because I imagine the cables from aftermarket manufacturers might be a little less flexible, but I really don't know that to be a fact.
Linn Ittok LV II -- removable DIN-connected cable?
I have an LP-12 with Ittok LV II arm, which I purchased used many years ago. I'm curious about upgrading the phono cable but can't determine if it is easily removable from the arm, if it is a continuous cable straight through to the headshell, or if it is some kind of proprietary Linn setup.
The cable enters the arm from the bottom through a right-angled, white plastic piece. It could be a DIN connector. I've tugged on it and it won't budge. I'm afraid to pull too hard unless I know for sure that it's meant to detach. I can see that there is a second ground wire feeding from this area, which is soldered to the chassis of the Linn. That shouldn't matter...?
Whaddya think?
