One of the big problems with the Lp 12 is it's set up, most dealer's said, they are specialists, but based to my experience, leaving their shop, and the player wasn't the same.
The best upgrades for this one, are in my opinion, from Naim, specially the Aro arm. It's a very good one.
Another frustrating fact, even when full upgraded with very much money, all owners I know, who changed later to a serious design ( VPI TNT, or Basis 2400, Basis Ovation, Well Tempered, Michell, Oracle ) couldn't believe the huge difference in sonic improvement. All told me, it was frustrating to realize, spending so much money for a inferior design ( in comparison ).
It was a super product for dealers, always with upgrades, a dealers dream for making money, and for all set up guys.
Their work never stopped.
And the owner was always ready to pay .....
Anyway, when you want to go with it, try it with Naim ARO arm, avoid the Lingo.
