| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Linn has just updated the most important part of their turntable, and it is not the motor, the type of drive, the speed control, the tonearm or the suspension system. It is the bearing!!! Precision engineering in the bearing is actually where I be... | |
| Linn LP12 ghost or power issue? OP, your table should not turn on regardless of what power supply you are using if your on/off switch on the table is set to off. The fact that it did turn on, might indicate a few things, one that your power switch is faulty, or two, that you lef... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @cd318 Like I stated in my prior post, I'm sure this is falling on deaf ears, but I would like to know how you know so much about what is, or is not, happening at Linn? Particularly when it comes to Gilad?When Ivor first designed the table, it cl... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @lewm Lew, I am surprised that you would post such a comment! It would be more than easy for Linn to rebut all of this stuff, but they would be spending way way way too much time doing it, so why bother when it would fall on deaf ears anyway?I am ... | |
| Esoteric SACD player owners, do you use the built in DAC or an external DAC and why? I just use my DV60 as a stand alone unit. Since I primarily use it to playback redbook, I am more than pleased. | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @cd318 Your post should perhaps conclude with this: IMHO.Your 'opinion' is as stated, although I think you could say what you did about all turntables. In your humble opinion, Linn has been spinning the same 'guff for decades and decades'. In you... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @rrm would be helpful to know what model of LP12 ( age, power supply, bearing, tonearm, sub chassis etc) you are comparing to your Michell. | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration @rauliruegas I had a real laugh the you mentioned other ’top’ a’philes using the old war horse SME 3012R! I used to own this tonearm, and let me tell you it is nothing special at all! The biggest issue is something called ’bearing chatter’...which... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @tyray. You wrote this in your post:" I have a question for you. And this is not for arguments sake. I’m just curious.When a blank piece of vinyl is cut at the factory, in your opinion which is more important. The cartridge/stylus making the groov... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @rauliruegas What 'facts' have you given that the cartridge is more important in the hierarchy than the tonearm? It has been shown by Origin Live and others that the hierarchy is tonearm first and cartridge second. You don't believe this to be th... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @rauliruegas You posted this: " Problem is that that gentleman is really a " roockie " in that specific issue but he think as his followers is an expert and is far away from there., like it or not all of them unfortunatelly(sic) are wrong." Fi... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @tyray I fail to see the relevance of the question in your last post? The cutting tool that is mounted on the end of the arm on a cutting lathe at the time of the lacquer mastering is not a cartridge/stylus. But if you are asking if that cutter is... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry Firstly, i want to say that I still agree with Ralph 100%. The arm is more important than the cartridge. IME, that is a FACT.Secondly, tyrays analogy to the boom and microphone is a false analogy when it comes to tonearm and cartridge, like Ralph ... | |
| Does anyone have experience with seller Kron on cartridges? It truly surprises me that Kron has access to so many cartridges that seem to be unobtanium to most dealers. Primarily of course the Benz line...are they still even in business?? | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @coachopconnor There are a few additional mods to your table...1) Original stamped sub chassis, braced stamped sub chassis, Kore, Keel2) Power supply- original/Nirvana, Valhalla, 4 Lingos ( actually really five, as the first Lingo 2 was exactly ... |
