Linn LP 12


I’ve had my LP12 for a long time . Ittock arm , original Lingo, DV10x5 . I’m considering having the Karousel bearing installed . Until then would I get any improvements by upgrading the tone arm cable and the lingo cable ?

OP. “Can anyone recommend a turntable that sounds better than the LP 12 for $1500…”

 

ok, now You asked for it.

Good choice in upgrading the bearing.

Maybe, you will get a very small improvement… maybe not. I look at my Linn the same way I look at my audio system. Component upgrades first; these are going to be the most meaningful. I upgraded my sub-chassis to Keel and tone arm to the Ekos SE. Both made a significant difference.

So, I would save your money. Upgrade component after component until you are happy. Then fiddle around with the cables. You’ll get the best sound the fastest.

 

@tablejockey I hope you are wrong. This is a technical question not a request for comments on the company. I love my Linn… it replaces an excellent VPI and the sound is outstanding. So, disparaging comment are inappropriate.
