| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? To be clear, I do NOT think the LP12 is in any way inferior to the tables mentioned above, including the table( a Technics) I would recommend IF one cannot get the Linn set up professionally. On the contrary, I think the LP12 with its ongoing abil... | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? @thermionicemission Setting up the LP12 is unfortunately not that easy. Changing out the bearing, requires a compete re-build. Since the LP12 really needs a good tech to do the set up...and suffers if it is done incorrectly, as many folk here hav... | |

| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Here I have to disagree with you, I think the law suit was entirely appropriate and warranted. Why, because these bad actors ( Davis and MoFi) had essentially created a bait and switch scheme. All the while stating their AAA source as a... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Good to hear that at least someone at MD is trying and willing to do the right thing. Pity that it took what was almost a public flogging to get that to happen. Nonetheless, I think MD were perhaps in a world of hurt after their MoFi ... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Interesting that the VP of sales and marketing is now opting for a more ’customer friendly’ position than when you were apparently talking to his reps. I wonder if the bad publicity that you were attempting to expose had an effect? Pr... | |

| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition @zavato Knowing Linn, they will be both ridiculously priced and delusionally priced, LOL. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @cleeds I think there are a number of unfortunate issues here. Each of us has their priority. Personally, i would be concerned with the apparent initial non-disclosure of the warranty issue, additionally the cavalier attitude apparently given to ... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @jonderda Question....let us say that the OP had sent you the cartridge for inspection and you found that a defective wire ( and/or other manufacturing defect) was the issue. Would this issue been covered under warranty since the cartridge is now... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition @zavato Even if the hinges are retrofittable, do you want to pay the kind of cost that Linn would have in mind for a better solution to hold up your lid??? Since I only use the lid for a way to protect the table from dust when not in use, person... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? The MoFi ’One Step’ Mingus Ah Um. While this record is good, I feel it does have a certain digital sheen to it that is obvious after one knows its ’history’. I say this, as I followed it up with the Tone Poet release of Breakin Point by Freddie Hu... | |
