I need some turntable guidance
@mijostyn, Mike you clearly know VERY little about the Linn LP12 turntable. The more you post, the more you show your ignorance.Firstly, the sub chassis has been re-worked over the years to address resonances...the current model utilizes a very da...

Also, while the two inputs use the same board, that doesn't mean to say that the signal that board receives will be the same...in regards to low input vs high input.

Richard, If Jeff told you to use the low level input, perhaps he was suggesting that in order for you not to have a problem hooking up to his amp. That would be my impression. You must have told him of your issue with the hook-up from your OP.

Richard, you are comparing the two hook up connections with the subs in exactly the same place in the room...yes? 
Audiophile Receptacle question
@jerzey2222  I use a Mesa Tremoverb 2 12 combo, I will be interested to see if you hear any difference with your wall outlet. I use the excellent Oyaide R1 for my audio system...but the standard plug for the guitar stuff.

Interesting, I wonder what accounts for your findings?

@mijsotyn  What you state about how we hear and interpret what we hear is all very accurate. If you happen to hear a table that you don't like, because your musical expectation bias is not allowing you to hear what it is that the table brings, thi...

@ricred1  Agree. However, be sure to listen to both set ups. If the low level is preferred in your room and system, so be it. Everyone has a different set of preferences, and their rooms and systems are also dissimilar...therefore your result/favo... 
Audiophile Receptacle question
 @jea48   Just to be clear, I'm NOT suggesting that he change the original plug. As I stated, this mod will change the value for many collectors...for the worse! Yes, believe it or not, an all original two pin plug is sometimes preferred on these ...

@mijostyn You owned two LP12’s..and tried everything to get them to sound better??? Like what? I strongly suspect the issue you had was like so many other naysayers, who really shouldn’t own a table that needs to be set up CORRECTLY like the Linn-... 
Audiophile Receptacle question
Wait a minute, if you are using a vintage amp, are you not supposed to use the vintage plug ( two pin...non grounded) that came with it!  Plug that into any wall outlet and you risk....well you know.Change the plug on the amp end to a decent three... 
cables for GUITARISTS from audio companys
I use the Monster Cable ProLink Performer 500 cables...have tried a number of other cables...from Boss, Dimarzio, Belden etc...none are up to the level of the Monsters. BTW, I do think the cable quality makes quite a nice difference in the tonalit...

Hi Al,Get your point, but remember that the main speakers are seeing their signal from the amp...and not the preamp. So, regardless of how accurate the amp is ( or is not) the most accurate signal that the sub can see in relation to what the main ...

Thanks for confirming what I, and others, already knew/suspected. 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
Al, surely the more accurate the amp is, the more accurately it will pass on the signal...therefore what REL is basically stating is correct. Either way, I totally get the point that the subs see exactly the same signal as the mains in REL’s high ...
