Cartridge new or used ?
 @chakster   None of the photos that you posted have any meaning whatsoever. The first stock photo by AT is a generic photo with just one face showing...and none of the rear facets and the actual cut angles, worthless. The other photos are equally... 
Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5?
@latenitecity. Happy New Year to you. I will be interested to learn what your thoughts are on the two tables once you have had a chance to listen to the LP12 Radikal D Klimax. Presumably you will be hearing it with the Ekos SE arm and I would imag... 
The nightmare of the cartridge buyer...
@best-groove. I can sort of understand your frustration. However, how did the cartridge sound when it came back to you, was it as good as when original? If so, I would think that this would override the issue with AJ doing his thing. When you say ...

 @zavato  Nice post. I do think that if you were in the market today, even though like you stated, there are some good table choices, that the LP12 Magik would still beat out the likes of a VPI Prime.Certainly it would be no contest between the Pr... 
The nightmare of the cartridge buyer...
@tsloan   You sound like another dealer who is trying to justify this practice. Or maybe you are just fine with the status quo and are happy to get fleeced...either way, very weak, IMO.

@cd318 Says he who couldn’t figure out why his brief ownership of an LP12 didn’t go well fifteen years ago and went on to a what?? a Crossley or no table at all...but is still experienced in all things Linn LP12. You have to love it.

@dsholl1   How ironic coming from the man who likes to post ad hominem's! You might consider taking your own 'advice', LMAO.

@dsholl1 Just like you are quite the expert in Linn tables.Only difference is that I have heard the Kuzma on many occasions and with varying systems. Just like you have with the Linn...right??

@tzh21y Really!! Since you know my system better than i do, please do enlighten us all as to what specific equipment you are talking about that I don’t own, but comment on. Let me tell you, if I comment on equipment, I either do own it ( like the ...

@swajames.   +1Totally agree!

@tzh21y Listening to Magico speakers and comparing them to Linn speakers would lead to your conclusions. Unfortunately, you came to the incorrect conclusion about the table,but not about the rest of the Linn gear.

 @rwwear  Why, because he should be accepting of the fact that most a’philes are ok with being fleeced...and that is part of the hobby! I’m not saying the Linn is way overpriced, but the majority of gear in the hobby seems to fall into that catego... 
Lyra Kleos vs Koetsu Urushi
@syntax Since when does higher output have anything to do with increased resolution? With that logic, all MM’s would always be more resolving than lower output MC’s! Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
