| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum There seems to be some misconception about the quality control of a lot of these ’artisan’ sourced cartridges. The assumption being that each one is looked at by the maker and determined to be good. In reality, I suspect this is not the case at al... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @cleeds +1. I agree that it is odd that mijostyn continues to feel good about his dealer, given what you stated. That dealer would be the last guy I would use again, for exactly the reasons you pointed out. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Jim Davis and Mo Fi/MD have been in hot water recently. Their undisclosed digital step debacle ( with the lauded 'all analog' LP's) landed them there. The ethics displayed with the company and Davis is clearly lacking. They are now in t... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Depending on what state you live in, warranty laws may be applicable to you as to the minimum lengths acceptable. IOW, even though MD state what they do, you may have legal recourse regardless. For a company to sell a $11K cartridge wi... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn I still have not heard why you did not involve your selling dealer more. This is where the push back against the distributor needs to come from. Is your dealer actually a MSL rep? | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum One more thing... It is this, I believe that the mark-up on Japanese cartridges when sold in the US and in a number of other countries is---outrageous! Shipping expense cannot explain any of the added costs. Simply pure profiteering. IMHO... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Presumably you bought the MSL from an authorized dealer? If so, this is where I think the ’pressure’ has to come from...and not from you dealing with MoFi ( the distributor). When I had a problem with my new Lyra, my dealer was all ove... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition @vinylvalet I guess you were not one of the 250 buyers. Although, I suspect you would not have that opinion if you could have been....;0) | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition 60k for an airpax motor turntable… if it were milled from titanium it still won’t be worth that with a markup. The LP12 is a fine deck and deserves its place in audio history. The best LP12’s I have heard are by The Funk Firm and Vinyl Passio... | |
| Tonearm with a slotted headshell to replace Linn Ittok LV II Imo, there really is a very limited option for you. The tonearm I use, a special edition well tempered black offers the kind of headshell with slots that you are after, but it is anything but easy to set up. Otherwise, best I can think of would b... | |
| Tonearm with a slotted headshell to replace Linn Ittok LV II What turntable are you using?..remembering that the LP12 is a very limiting factor as to the weight of a tonearm… if another platform, then you have a much wider number of options. | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition Apparently, all 250 LP12 50th Anniv tables are now sold! | |
| Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component? I asked a similar question on a thread I started in the speaker section, except it was if there was a price where a manufacturer could over price his audio wares. Seems like the general consensus was…no. Certainly by the supposed success of the r... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition So that this is not taken in the wrong light, I am a fan of the LP12 table, and I own one. However, I fail to understand the value of new hinges and a new shaped button or logo? I never use my lid for anything but a dust cover to be used only whe... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition While the Thorens is a good table, I do think the Linn is probably better. However, is it 10-30 times better, that i seriously doubt! Interesting thing is that there are apparently 120 of the 250 tables released already accounted for! That would... |
