Linn LP12 Question


I keep hearing that this table requires a trained dealer to set it up properly. I was just wondering: what do people who buy used LP12's on Audiogon do? Do they set it up themselves? Or pay a dealer to do it? How much does it cost to have a dealer do it?

Just curious...I hear so many different things about this table, but I've never heard one.

Linns can be a bit finicky to set up. After all, they are finely tuned machines whose performance depends upon getting everything right. You need to have a set of instructions so you know what you are doing. However, if you know what to do, there is no reason why you cannot do it yourself.

One of the reasons why a dealer set-up is recommended is because the table has to be supported up in the air while adjustments are made. Linn dealers would have a special jig to hold the table up. However, if you are handy and can make something yourself like Bgpowell did, then go for it.
