Linn LP-12 compared to TW Acustic, SME, Nottingham


I am in the process of looking to move from my Linn LP-12 to another table. I found this link in another forum: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ranlg&1236291811&read&keyw&zztw=acustic but didn't find anything in the anolog forum section, so I was looking for some others who have compared the LP-12 to any of the the above tables.

Thank you.

My LP-12 had the Lingo. Did it help the Linn? Yes. Did it give me everything I was looking for? No. The Linn compared to the TW Acustic AC-3 is like walking into a dark room and flipping the light switch - oh the details... On the AC-3 I get to hear the breathy musician at the mic, with violins I can hear the bow on the strings, with the high hat I can hear the drummers brush work. Breathtaking. Phenomenal. Musical. The AC-3 takes me places the Linn never did - and never could.
