Why so many linn lp12s for sale

The Pro-jects are my favorite all rounders but the Clearaudio excels for classical and instrumental. I always like the sound of my Linn. No question about that.

Rega 3 is a nice table but even my stock Rega 5 was not in the same league as my LP12 sound wise. I think the TT PSU moved it closer plus Linn's cartridges sound better than Rega's. The LP12 has just such a huge soundstage. I have not heard that from a lot of other tables. Regas can get close though.

I am not an LP12 fan, but, I heard one with all the Funk Firm mods and it was absolutely scintillating. It was cleaner, more neutral, and the bass foundation was significantly improved

I can see that it has been more than three years since my last few posts on the topic of LINN LP12 upgrades.

Since that time, I have stumbled across a newer LINN LP12 enhancement called TIGER PAW TRANQUILITY.

In essence, it is said to relieve the bearing of 90% of the platter weight - so a lighter load means a quieter bearing.

Online endorsements seem to be overwhelmingly in favour.

(It's pricey, but seems like a great idea!!!)

Just wondering if anyone here has tried it?   Any feedback?

Linn LP12 is not as good as stock Technics 1200 that is why.
Stock Technics 1200 MK2 you can get $300 off craigslist

I am going to keep my LP12. Have had it since ‘88. Tuned by Tom O’keefe at Ovature in 2016.
