| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition @zavato Even if the hinges are retrofittable, do you want to pay the kind of cost that Linn would have in mind for a better solution to hold up your lid??? Since I only use the lid for a way to protect the table from dust when not in use, person... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Perfect opportunity for you to explain away your Company Policy to add $5k to the typical arrive at the door price for a Cart' and then for the $5K upcharge get a measly 3 MONTHS WARRANTY. In the guise of being Transparent, why not have a Head... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The MoFi ’One Step’ Mingus Ah Um. While this record is good, I feel it does have a certain digital sheen to it that is obvious after one knows its ’history’. I say this, as I followed it up with the Tone Poet release of Breakin Point by Freddie Hu... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Should you had to have the attitude in your statement " as always it is consumer beware"?? With a company like MD and Jim Davis, based on just their non-disclosure digital step debacle, it is clear that you needed to. This industry see... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum With the OP’s example, unfortunately his cartridge was one year old, even though it had only 75 hours of usage. The problem is that this same circumstance would apparently have occurred even if his cartridge was only three months and one day old..... | |
| 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... |
