Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
@no_regrets   +1000   As a former pro studio musician, i totally agree with all that you state about the tonal acuity and the detail retrieval in regards to the sounds of live acoustic music.  To my ears, the speed accuracy is excellent, partic...

@mijostyn  And you would know this how??? The last time you owned the table was in the 70's...which says it all!

@cd318  Since it appears you are in the UK, all you have to do is go over to visit Peter Swain at Cymbiosis and he will be only too pleased to show you the numerous LP12's that he has. If you cannot be bothered to do that, and instead want to cont...

@cd318 Seems very obvious that you yourself have not bothered to answer the question that you ask in your third paragraph...namely: ’has anyone bothered to compare the original LP12 to the top of the range 2022 model in order to assess exactly wh...

Nordost Cable Listed in Order of Importance
@mikelavigne   +1. This is my experience as well.

Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever
@lewm  when I am discussing the new Lyra cartridges with the new angle technology designs, set up is ultra critical. Get it even the slightest bit incorrect and the performance suffers. This really is not the case with the typical MM cartridge, wh...
