Linn is a world unto itself. I suggest you post your questions on the Linn Forum, as they love to chat endlessly about stuff like that. IMO, the Linn can be a really nice table IF you have someone really good to do the setup and upgrades for you. Some like the older pre-Cirkus sound, so don't assume upgrading will be better. All this said, I would personally prefer a well set up Linn to anything by Rega, Pro-Ject or Music Hall. But that's me.
LP12 upgrades
Are there any upgrades worth considering for a table S/N 59xxx, that don't cost a fortune??? Crikus;750, Lingo 2 ; $2000 plus, nicer cartridge at least $1000. Are the 30 year old Nirvana springs worth replacing too. It seems as though by the time I get done here....I will have more than enough to finance all but the absolute best efforts offered by REGA, Music Hall, and Project. Any thoughts or possible upgrade paths that would be more affordable, The only ones I know is Trampolin, or rebuilding existing Vahalla power supply? Still about $600. Would it make more sense to trade my deck in against a Magik deck.
