How often do you have to tuneup Linn Sondek LP12

I agree with Lugnut. Properly cared for, they don't need much fuss.

I have only adjusted mine when I chaged the tonearm. I have one with an SME 309 , and my sons has a 3009. There is a little too much hype about the LP12 . It is simply one of the best sounding tables out there. Once its set up your done.

Agreee with the above posts. I've owned my LP 12 since 1998, and have had the set up checked everytime I've upgradede it (upgrade from Basic to Lingo, upgrade from Akito to Ekos) or when I've disassembled the tbale for moving . About 3 years ago, I shipped the table off to Extreme Phono for the carbon fiber subchassis and armboard ods, and they installed difference nuts on the subchassis screws which seem to hold the adjustement no matter what. I've checked the table a coupe of times since, and have never needed to mess with it. I have since bought another table (Basis Debut Vacuum with all the trimmings) and boxed up my LP12 and Ekos...but still haven't put them up for sale. Good as the new rig is...the LP12 was no slouch..

Thanks for info guys it's what I was looking for.

Part of it depends on the age. The bad reputation that the LP12 has dates to the early days, when the suspension went out of tune every other day--or so legend has it. Over the years, suspension parts have gotten better, and the tuning can be held for years. (Of course, this doesn't stop some dealers from suggesting a $50 tuneup every six months.)
