| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II I own a H Guru and have used the KL and the DeGritter ( version 1). The Guru, so long as one uses a surfactant (crucial), works well. The results from the KL, with a surfactant, were slightly better than the Guru and the DeGritter. The DeGritter o... | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? @ddrave44 Where do you get the idea that Linn tables need to be tuned up every 3-5 years??? The versions with the old Nirvana springs ( we are talking from the late 70's here) usually did...but since the springs have been updated ( from the mid ... | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? @audiovideonirvana While the LP12 does require an experienced set up, once it is set up, it does not drift. Since you have had no experience with the Linn table for what sounds like decades, this is probably something new to you. Nonetheless, th... | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? @audiovideonirvana while you are correct that the Linn LP12 Klimax comes in at around $30K, there is also the entry level LP12 Majik, which comes in around $5K. The nice thing is that one can upgrade the Majik to Klimax level if and when funds co... | |
| 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... | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? Couple of great upgrades are available for you with the LP12. Replace the bearing to the current Karousel and replace the arm...look for either a good used Ittok, or if funds allow...a used Ekos or Naim Aro. | |
| 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... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @lewm Actually the cartridge was about $20K+ in the US. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum A few years back, there was an ’American importer’ who was importing a cartridge from Japan, which was readily available over there, and adding close to five thousand percent mark-up for the uninitiated in the US. Interestingly, this chap was not ... | |
| 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... |
