| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? @daveyf I just chatted with my local Linn dealer and he did say that there’s less wear and tear on the tables nowadays. Especially for the ones with the with the newer motors - Radikal or Lingo4 compared to the older motors and suspensions. Ofte... | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? One dealer website .. For best performance, an LP12 should also be regularly fitted with a new belt, oil charge, and suspension springs and grommets, and be ‘tuned up’. A tune up includes having all fittings and connections examined and tightened... | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? @daveyf I agree they're less fussy now with the aluminum sub chassis and all that, but I find that every 3 or 4 years its good to get mine tuned up at my local dealer. Typically Linn has some new upgrade available that I get when I bring it in. ... | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? @audiovideonirvana Not questioning VPI as a cool solution. I've heard great things about them, but I haven't heard one myself to comment. | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? Just to pile on, Linn tables need to be tuned up every 3-5 years so lack of a local dealer would be an ongoing problem. At your $3.5k all-in budget a Rega Planar 8 is well worth a listen. Maybe compare to a Planar 6 at $1.9k. Rega's are also low ... | |

| Shunyata Altaira Grounding Station ........has anybody purchased this new product ? Hi Clyde2 @clyde2 This is great to know. Thank you! I was wondering whether the job was done or if there's more to be gained. Sounds like a 30 day trial of an Altaira makes good sense. | |
| Shunyata Altaira Grounding Station ........has anybody purchased this new product ? I already had a grounding buss sitting around and just bought some spade clips and the wire. This all cost under $25. Cheapest system upgrade ever! | |
| Shunyata Altaira Grounding Station ........has anybody purchased this new product ? Thanks HolyDean. That Mike & Rick interview with Caelin is very helpful. So after watching that and reading the Shunyata website I got out the Ohm meter and found screws on each of my components that showed 0 resistance to the ground input pl... | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers My understanding is that people used to think electricity was electrons moving down a wire. More recently people have begun to realize apparently that it's the energy from one electron being transferred down the wire not the electrons themselves. ... | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? I like Naim solid state. Love only applies to tubes! | |
| Tip for purchase new power cable Would look at Shunyata Venom’s in your price range. TheCableCo.com has a 30 day trial policy to see how they work in your system. Shunyata has been my go-to for years because they make high-quality cables with different levels of noise filtering. ... |
