| Jeff Rowland, what happened ? I am hoping that Jeff and crew will continue on with their excellent work. I also noticed what the OP said in his post, there are now several products that are ’suspended’. Maybe Jeff wants to retire? If so, i hope that a replacement owner can ta... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade The new Bedrok plinth for the LP12 is being discussed extensively on the web. Probably what is brought up the most, is the very high price. The price puts the new plinth and table into the realm of some very fine turntable competition. Something ... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @alessandrocat Don't get me wrong, there are always a number of Linn detractors on all audio forums, including this one. The table seems to polarize folk into a position. Most times I notice that those who have the strongest negative opinions al... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @newton_john Interesting. I have not noticed a lot of anger against Linn on other forums, but then again, maybe I’m not visiting the ones you are referring to?? | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @lewm, I don’t think anyone here is saying that ownership of a LP12 is required before a member can comment on it. However, it would be perhaps better if those who have a negative opinion of the table…also disclose upfront as to their reasoning..a... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @cleeds I think you nailed it with regards to our friend with “logic”. Lol. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @mylogic First you state this: “Why that supposition then that things have changed? An LP12 is always an LP12.” then you state this: “Remember l am on record here stating that l actually agreed with the Linn doctrine when first published with... | |
| Need a schematic for CAT SL1 Mark 3, or just a picture of the insides of unit For some reason Ken does not offer a schematic for his products. When i owned a ARC amp, it came with a schematic as part of the instruction manual. To me, this made a lot of sense. BUT I guess Ken has his reasons...and they will make it a lot mor... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @mylogic Perhaps a logical person would look up why the table has changed over time...and not state an LP12 is always an LP12, before making such a statement....No? @ghdprentice +1 | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @panzrwagn While what you say may have been true decades ago with the Linn, this is certainly not true today. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @newton_john I am no fan of any of the Linn phono stages. The Original Urika is, IMO, nothing special. So, when you went from a Urika to a Urika 11, you still are not hearing what a great analog ( and IME preferably a tube) phono stage will offer... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable OP, I agree with you 100% that using an internal phono stage to do a A to D conversion is not ideal. Much better to have a stand alone phono stage that is all analog. ( which is why i use a CAT all tube phono stage). The new Bedrok plinth is b... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @signaforce Given your description of the LP12 at your dealers, I would say that this is not a particularly outstanding deal. If budget allows, I would definitely look for a table with a Karousel bearing, or at least a Cirkus with a better power ... | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy OP, the number of times we have read gushing reviews full of epiphanies for the reviewer...only to then discover months or years later that the piece that was reviewed has this and that flaw compared to the latest piece under review...is numerous ... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @mylogic You ask would it be more economical to sell your early Nirvana model LP12 and buy a second hand or new model with all of the upgrades. The answer to that is possibly, but not always. It would depend on what upgrades are required and the... |
