Re; Linn LP12, what about the Cetech subchassis?

I have an older LP12 that I'm trying to upgrade without breaking the bank. I have a Hercules II power supply, just bought an ITTOK LVII tonearm to replace an older Sumiko Premier FT-3. I'm thinking of adding the Cetech sub-chassis will I'm replacing the tonearm. Will it be a worthwhile upgrade to this circa 1986 table? I'd appreciate any helpful comments. Thanks, Brad

Hi Steelman,

I had a Linn LP12 for about 20 years. I went through a number of upgrades, with the Cetech subchassis being one of the last. The Cetech and Lingo were the best money I spent (the stock springs will struggle).

As far as platter mats, I used Herbies (quite good), but the best I have used is Living Voices carbon fiber mat (you may be barely able to use a record clamp).

Good Luck!!!
