audiophile help needed in CT


Need ann analogue guy to help me troubleshoot my LP12 Iittok, Supex 901 setup.

the CT Linn "dealer" here does not have a technician anymore, and did not want to promise that it would not become a long term "sit on the shelf." situation.

i live in deep river, ct 06417. about 35 minutes above new haven , will travel for help, and pay for time and any materials too.
thanks

Cool to find out so many of us know about Deep River, after years of shmoozing indirectly on the internet. Take Five was my recommendation also, Zenblaster. It's an easy hop from Deep River. But I also take Doug's point about doing a little homework first, altho I don't find my vinyl rig needing such regular maintenance as Doug suggests. I tend to set it and forget it.

I grew up in New Haven and never even saw much of CT east of New Haven until I started dating my wife and became a member of her family in DR, in the late 1970s. Sometimes I fantasize about retiring there, but I admit to being hooked on the "bright lights" of the DC area; I like being able to hear high quality live music any day of the week within 15 minutes drive from my house. (20 minutes to Kennedy Center.) One of my best friends from high school lives in Clinton, Zen.

To the OP, you may have known my mother-in-law, Rita Samuels. She was Comptroller of the town even into her early 90s. A remarkable woman. My father in law was THE dentist in Deep River and an avid sailor.
ZenBlaster, I guess we're almost ex-neighbors. We moved to Bloomfield just last year. Looked at Balbrae but landed on a hilltop just below Talcott Mtn. It's scenic... also windy and frigid in the winter.

It can't match Lew's town for bright lights and culture, but it sure is low stress. The nearest "store" is Wade's Farm Stand (best native corn in the state, and their fields are right outside my back door). My daily commute is all of 5 miles on country roads. Traffic jams consist of deer, turkeys, fox, wildcat (once) and the occasional bear.

I have a long time buddy in Guilford, not far from Clinton and Deep River. Connecticut's small... everybody knows somebody from every town in the state.
If Boston isn't too far away, there's a terrific store in Cambridge called QAudio, and the owner is also a superb technician for turntables.
Cambridge is about 2 or 2.5 hours from Deep River. Q Audio sure was a great store back in the day when I frequented Cambridge. Glad to know it still exists, if it's the same business. Take 5 Audio in New Haven is not quite as long-lived but also excellent and much closer to DR.
Hi Bzalforno,

I know that you are about 1 1/2 hours from Mt. Kisco, NY which may be too far, but David Wilson, the owner of Accent on Sound there is an experienced Linn specialist, and quite generous with information and advice about judicious spending of $$ on various repairs, upgrades, or replacements. I hope that you get your issues sorted out without too much hassle!
