| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @mre28m5 Not the way to go with regards to the Tranq, IMO. If one wants to end up with the Karousel, why blow money on the Tranq? which is NOT compatible with a Karousel. Simply better to save the money and put it towards the Karousel. According t... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @audioquest4life Agree. Flamenco Fever is a reference level recording. Unfortunately, it is also quite rare and now very pricey! But if the price doesn't put you off, it should be in everyone's collection. | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @coachpoconnor Good to hear that you acquired a nice Linn LP12.As to upgrades, the next upgrade for your table would be the bearing, going from the Cirkus to the new Karousel. The bearing is probably the most important part of the TT. | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @photomax +1. Unfortunately, like many threads about the LP12, there are always a lot of folks who have no issue with posting--total nonsense! Doesn't stop them from putting their 2 cents in nonetheless. | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 What amuses me a little with the amp designer in question, is that not only does he preach that the KT150 is worse than the KT120, with no proviso that it could be in his circuit, but not others; but also the fact that he did not believe in tube r... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Mijostyn, maybe stop putting words in my mouth, did I say anywhere where the guy at any Hi Fi store is an expert...or did I say, and I quote' " Linn trained professional". Please read my posts closer and not jump to conclusions. You stated that yo... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @mijostyn The fact that you believe you can set up a Linn LP 12 better than the Linn trained professional says a lot about your post and experience. | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @mijostyn "I got rid of all of my Linns a long time ago because they are irreparably defective"Your post is timely, because I was talking to my Linn dealer yesterday and he related an interesting story. On one of the other forums, there was a cha... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @slaw So, spraying the Gruv Glide onto a felt pad and then wiping it around the album involves a static charge?? Please do explain further.. | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 @decooney I do agree that the design of the circuit is a major factor in whether the KT150 or KT120 is going to be preferred. The amp designer in question is absolutely convinced that the KT120 is superior to the KT150 in SQ. i think while this m... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @slaw The actual installation process of Gruv Glide involves static charge, do explain? Most folks use Gruv Glide on noisy pressings to reduce back ground hash, it also secondarily helps in reducing static build up on the vinyl. Personally, i see... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @mijostyn If you cannot hear what the dust cover does negatively for the LP12 SQ, there is little more to be said. The use of a product like Gruv Glide is beneficial in many instances, and like chayro stated above, it will minimize the build up o... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @chayro I second the suggestion for Gruv Glide, it is a really excellent product that seems to work as advertised. It does indeed knock back static initially, but one will find that with repeated playings, static still will build up, particularly... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @mijostyn. The LP12 is best played without the lid. I don’t know of anyone who listens seriously to the Linn that plays it with the lid on...easy to hear how it impacts the SQ negatively. BTW, for those who don’t know, the Linn LP12 platter is act... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @atmasphere The Veblen effect you mention is certainly a very important aspect when it comes to high end audio. I have spoken to several manufacturers who have told me outright that they are required to either a) have a high price on their wares o... |
