If you have a Linn, perhaps you can borrow a Lingo PS and listen to it for yourself.
LP12- Power Supply- Need education
I have read a lot about different options to upgrade the analogue power supply.
A phono stage need to amplify micro signal would require very good power supply to ensure there is minimal noise interfere with the signal.
I read about Lingo and other power supply articles, however they never mentioned about the science behind it.
How could a power supply powering a motor will introduce noise to the cartridge especially belt drive?
How do you measure the noise when playing a record?
Or would the power supply provide a more stable rotational speed, my speed measurement on the turntable shows very consistence rpm once it is playing?
I really do not understand why a Lingo power supply cost so much but cannot provide an improvement with a measurable results.
Could someone educate me.

daveyf "There is, as usual, a ton of misinformation and pure ’BS’ being foisted by those who really have absolutely no clue about the sound of a well set up Linn LP12.The problem here is that some posters insist that what they hear and experience should be exactly the same as what you hear and experience. If it’s not, they insist the problem is with you, and not them or attributable to some other variable. There’s no way to reason with such folks. Beware the audio guru. The LP12 is an extraordinary turntable - truly first class. It’s not my preference at all, but I surely wouldn’t criticize anyone who has chosen one for their system, especially if it’s one of the later versions. Linn has updated this turntable substantially over the years. |
