Linn LP12 turntable

@lewm It is above the shelf were my current turntable sits.
Unless I am missing something, other than inconvenience, I am not sure why that is a problem. It is not used and just a hunk of wood when I play vinyl. The center is only on during HT use.

You can see my layout on my profile.

I also wondered how they got to $14k. Perhaps sales exaggeration, perhaps honest mistake. Will continue to look at the Linn. Thanks 

@yoyoyaya  I have heard a few Ittoks mounted on an Oracle. Not my favorite combo. Also heard a few mounted on Gyrodecs, but also not that impressive.

I replaced my Ekos 2 with the 'WTA' Black, it was a nice upgrade as the 'Black' utilizes VDH Litz cable in the arm and I now use a Nordost Tyr phono cable, which is a big step up over the Linn T Kable.

@Davey F. Interesting - thanks! Martin Colloms always maintained that different aspects of the LP 12'ss design, while perhaps questionable in themselves, were effective in terms of overall system synergy. Perhaps the same is true of the Ittok/LP 12 combination. Though personally, I always thought it had a bit of a zingy/splashy character - very different to the WTA in that regard.

Reference your comments on the Ittok’s design.

I always thought the Ittok’s awkward design looked just like the M4 Sherman tank turret and barrel. An ugly ‘’SOAB’’, a phrase WW2 General Patton loved saying!

Now there was a foreword thinking guy with great Logic!

But l wonder what Linn designers were thinking to come up with that ‘’look’’ ??

Thats my Logic!
