It is obvious we Linnies are a special breed. It was a great place to start for me. Actually my first table was a Yamaha P320/Ortofon OM 20 cart circa 1978. It still works fine. However after approx 8 years with my Linn my taste/preference/earnings have changed. I have truly loved this table and have nothing bad to say, I just had my "tune up" a couple of months ago, but I will be getting a new table/arm as soon as I decide to go suspended or mass.
