@tzh21y LOL, don’t get so upset! The Linn is a great table that tends to get a raw deal on forums and from folks like you. Personally, i couldn’t care one bit if you can hear what it does well or not. Is it the best table in the world, of course not- and it depends on your listening habits and other variables, ( i’m not claiming it is, BTW..and nowhere can you see that i stated such a stupid comment). Do i come on forums and push back on people who no experience with the table, but are only too happy to naysay and disseminate false information... yes, I do.
I’m not the one crying like a baby about how much I lost selling my Linn...Ooops.

 @dsholl1  Come on man. You are selling that from Melbourne....and were requiring local pick up...LMAO.

But go ahead, you are going to teach me something, before teaching anything...look at yourself first...idiot.
@dctom How many years ago did you own the LP12? What version was it?
Here’s the other issue that seems to crop up frequently, that is the ancillary gear that people listen, or listened to, is very very different from set up to set up....but the table is always the culprit...this makes no sense to me.
Having placed the Kuzma into the same system as the LP12 Klimax, all who heard the system preferred the Linn....that day and with the same ancillary gear and same room....how many can say that about the listening experience that they had...can you dctom?
@dsholl1 Ok, so lets hear what you think is the best table in the world, oh, don’t tell me it’s the Kuzma, lol.
This from the Kuzma shill who thinks the LP12 Magik sounds better than the LP12 Radikal D....rich.

This is my last post on this thread. I’m done trying to get people to listen to a current Linn LP12 model and have an open mind. All I can say is that if the table was so very poor sounding, I doubt so many would have sold...and continue to be in high demand worldwide. If one has to seek out a Linn dealer, that is common with almost all gear in high end...that’s why it is high end and not midfi ---one doesn’t have the option of buying it at your local mart.
The set up, like all technical gear, has to be done by someone who knows what they are doing and has had some training, not by any ’tinkerer’ who happens to be good at auto repairs.
Are there better tables out there, sure there are..but not IME at the price level..one has to spend considerably more.
I’m going back to enjoying the music on my Linn LP12 Radikal D...the others can keep on arguing and guessing/postulating at what the SQ is.
