| 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... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition Not junk, but also, at least for the LP12 50th Anniversary, hard to assign that price to value. | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition @ghdprentice Your post makes sense, except it might assume that there is no direct competition for the Linn 50th at its asking price. Problem is, at least IME, there is competition at and slightly above this price point that will put the Linn to... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition @lalitk +1 Where Linn get the idea that their Anniversary 50th LP12 equates to a $60K price tag is beyond me? However, like always, they probably figure that there are folk with money to burn who will pony up for this model. This kind o... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition If Linn utilize the new design aesthetic across the whole LP12 line, I think this is actually a very nice update. Hopefully ,the price of a new plinth with rounded corners will not be ridiculous; but knowing Linn's marketing....:0( | |
| Linn LP12 & Miyajima Madake or ? In the Linn protocol of upgrades, the table, arm and lastly the cartridge is the order. Therefore, if you want to go with their protocol ( which i do agree with), the place to start is with the table components...and in this case, the order is 1... | |

| Audio Research REF 750 pre July 4 FIRE WORKS. TUBE ARC. Bringing a tube tester for KT150’s can be an interesting idea. Problem is they require 600 volts at the plate, which almost no tester can deliver! Also, it is a good thing you live in a colder climate, because, as you mentioned the Ref 750’s can d... | |
| Audio Research REF 750 pre July 4 FIRE WORKS. TUBE ARC. I once had a similar experience with a large tube amp. It certainly makes your heart rate spike! These days, I think a tube amp with a minimum number of power tubes is the answer. Otherwise, ss is a very good option.IMHO. | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? Question one could ask is why would anyone care what someone else labels a system? Personally, if I hear a piece of equipment that brings me closer to what I hear live and in an unamplified setting, I don’t really care what the label is that someo... | |
| Is there a difference between Linn LP12 lingo 1 vs lingo 2 other than the case? @robob Lingo 4 is contained in a much thinner box (slimline) than any of the other Lingo's. | |
| Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts? @rooze WBF is actually a good example of a site that is run to enable all of the points that I stated in my prior post. One of the owners has consistently pushed products, that he happens to also represent, onto his members. You think their moder... | |
| Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts? Having been on a number of different audio forums, one thing that is clearly a consistent, is that the forum owners usually have an agenda. ( and it has nothing to do with hobbyists talking about audio).Some want to make it a money making tool, ot... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? One of the common themes of this thread are posts that state that high end is 'over priced'. While we may believe that, perhaps it is not over priced and is in fact priced at a point that the various vendors know their goods will sell. Since the o... | |
| Why are People Dumping their Audio Research Gear and What Does it Say about them? Apparently a ‘white knight’ has stepped in and rescued the company! This is certainly welcome news. No word on who stepped up to the plate, but I wish them well. |
