| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. With groove damage, the issue is not obvious in most cases by looking at the LP. Last night, I put on what looked like a Mint condition Direct to Disc, the groove noise was annoying from the lead in groove on the first side to the lead out groove ... | |
| Does anyone manufacture an alternative Linn Sondek belt pulley ? The issue here is simple, the OP is setting the table up himself and clearly something is going wrong, leading to my post above. | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. @honest1 You had a poor experience with your Linn Axis vs a Dual. Unfortunately that does not lead to a universal declaration, it leads to a 'humble opinion'-- like you just gave. | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @atmasphere LOL, you are 100% correct. I too noticed that dear Raul didn't take it upon himself to consult with a tonearm manufacturer or turntable manufacturer....but that would risk him getting an opinion opposite to his! | |
| Does anyone have experience with seller Kron on cartridges? @scar972 Thanks, that is informative. I noticed that the rep is based out of Canada, and they have a number of Canadian dealers, none in the US---so far. Wonder why that is?Also, should be interesting to see how the price points compare to Kron's ... | |
| Does anyone manufacture an alternative Linn Sondek belt pulley ? If you are getting belt slip, then I would suggest that there is something wrong with your Linn’s set up. I would recommend a trip to a Linn dealer who can do the set up correctly. | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Having owned a Technics Direct Drive SP10 mk2 and now a Linn, I think both tables can deliver good to great sound. The Technics was a table that I thought could sound a bit like digital at times, IOW a little sterile and dry sounding. The Linn, if... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @klooker The Linn philosophy with regards to tonearms seems to be that the ability to adjust azimuth is not important. Your Ittok has limited adjustability in regards to a number of set up parameters. Linn seems to think that the cartridge manuf... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @lewm Interesting perspective...now what is your analogy to the many tube amps that are on the market? | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. @testpilot There have been two prior bearings for the Linn. The original and then the Cirkus. The new one called the Karousel attaches to the subchassis with a three point system. It is also more precisely machined to a mirror finish at the base. ... | |
| 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. |
