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.

FWIW I take my Linn in or a tune up annually. It costs me 40-50 bucks. I have the Lingo, cirkus,trampolin upgrades with an Ittok LV II arm mounted with a Shelter 90X. A tune up is basically adjusting the suspension, arm, and checking the bearings, cartridge alignment, and belt. It takes about an hour. I have owned my table for approx 8 years and do this because I don't own a jig which costs over 200.00. I drive approx 40 minutes to my dealer. For me the bottom line is is outsatnding sound for 8758.2 hours per year.
