Linn Sondek question
ThomasOk, thank you for chiming in. It is interesting how on so many of these threads, that people post their experience of the table, and yet they have either a) not heard it in decades or b) never owned the LP12, or c) maybe compared a poorly se... 
Linn Sondek question
Yes, major step up....I can tell you this, neither bearing ever leaked!! The new Cirkus bearing has far better tolerances and therefore sounds better! Neither of which you would have a clue about. Once again, i'm done with you. 
Linn Sondek question
davidclarke, I happen to think that 40 years of continued refinement, adds up to one heck of a lot of refinement! Not sure I completely agree with you that there are small incremental improvements as you upgrade... IME, there are some pretty BIG i... 
How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system?
syntax, perhaps look at what you just wrote.....is it possible that this very opinion might....just might, apply to YOU!! ...:0)  
New Air Tight PC-7 Cartridge...a contender??
According to the review by Julie Mullins in the Absolute Sound, the new PC7 is a superb cartridge. Only problem is...and I say this with some hesitation, her system is ( shall we say) far from the most revealing out there!So while she may be right... 
How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system?
+1000 on Clearthinks post. Chakster, if you enjoy an old cartridge that is more than likely destroying your vinyl, so be it. Cartridges are a wear item, plain and simple. Like Clearthinks stated, just one play can easily damage the groove if the c... 
How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system?
inna, i'm not sure as to who you are responding to. However, your thought that by waiting a dealer is going to be essentially begging you to buy, just doesn't seem to jive with reality. IME, the dealers are all pretty independent when it comes to ... 
Linn Sondek question
Nandric, an LP12 from yesteryear is still a fine table. However, it is not in the same league as a current LP12, in either the Akurate version or the Klimax version. You would know this if you had a chance to hear the current models.Instead, you p... 
How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system?
Ps68, that’s pretty funny...just buy it..so I don’t.lol.I wasn’t actually “expecting” any specific winner to my poll, but the results were probably predictable, I guess??It is a shame that this is the one piece of gear that people seem to buy with... 
Linn Sondek question
Missioncoonery, says he who has never owned an LP12...or most likely ever heard one either.Varyat, so much misinformation now on the forums about the table, it’s just pathetic! As we both know, a leaking bearing is not possible.  
Linn Sondek question
nandric, you have not heard a well set up Klimax level LP12. Twenty plus years ago, is a lifetime when it comes to this table. Suffice it to say, your expanding of total ’BS’ still continues....leaking bearing...please do elaborate. ( I guess it m... 
Linn Sondek question
Nandric, your English theacher tought you wheel. Lol.Seriously, the LP12 has always had this myth attached to it, primarily I believe by people that never had their table correctly set up in the first place! With a correctly set up table, the set ... 
No-one talks about Rowlands anymore
Some companies don’t need to advertise as much as others. In Rowland’s case, word of mouth has clearly been enough for them for years. As is mentioned above, the amps are an excellent choice for someone looking for a semi bullet-proof ss amp that ... 
koetsu
Curious about this myself. However, the thing to remember is that the Platinum magnet models all have significantly less output than the non-platinum models...which may discount the Platinum magnet models if your phono stage cannot support ultra l... 
Linn LP12......That good??
audiovideonirvana, I don’t doubt that your 80’s Linn didn’t sound that great....due to the weakness of the arm. Question is how much influence people have when they go on a public forum...and post opinions that the whole line of tables is just no ...
