Upgrade old LP12 or buy a new table??
Thanks Skand...Happy New Year to you and yours as well. If you are talking about the Din to RCA cable (goes to phono amp), I think I have read the upgraded cable referred to as the "T" cable. Anyway, a Linn dealer would know (I hope). 
Upgrade old LP12 or buy a new table??
Like others have said or implied, it could be a matter of whether you like the Linn's performance overall. That is, when it is operating properly. I too have had the LP12 for years, since around 1984 or so. Recently, it was not sounding very good ... 
Trying to extract more from my Vandersteen
Have not had the same system, but had assembled a system with a Theta Transport, Muse D/A, Krell pre, Aragon amp and Mirage M3si speakers. I was very unhappy becaue there was little sonic difference between this system and a home theater setup I h... 
Power Cord for Ayre CX-7e ????
If it isn't too late: I have the CX-7 (now upgraded) and tried a myriad of power cords on it as well as other parts of the system. I chose the Cardas GR. To describe why, I offer the following:I was getting these cords from The Cable Company, whic... 
lat international
Their composite video cables and digital cables (DI-20) worked well in my system, though the AC-2 power cable and IC-100 MK II IC cables faired less well (maybe just system incompatibility?). Bit when I needed a longer length of component video ca... 
Help amp for Vandersteen 3A sig w/ Anthem pre 2L
I have been told by dealers that an Aragon 8008BB will work very well on the 3As'. This is the amp I currently have, though it is driving a pair of Mirage M3si speakers. I am not wealthy and at the time, the Aragon was the only amp I could auditio... 
From Krell to McIntosh - Anyone?
Shucks, did not intend to imply which of the MAC or Krell was actually more correct or better. As I wrote above, I havent't heard the latest Krell stuff, or any McIntosh in too long. But if I choose (when comparing) based on my criteria (which is ... 
From Krell to McIntosh - Anyone?
I have not heard either Krell or McIntosh in a good while now, but I do care about music reproduction in the home. I do not post much because I seem to identify very little with the majority of descriptions I read here (or on the Asylum). Mine doe... 
I've found the cd player for analog lovers
Heard the Rega Apollo last weekend. Not in the market myself, but the Apollo is quite a CD player. No negative artifacts (at least as usual from sub $1000 CD players), tremendous jump, musicality, and tone. Sounded very live. Maybe a little short ... 
SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII?
SME? I cannot directly address your question, but would like to relate an experience I had about 8 to 10 years ago. I thought it relevant because some have recently noted that there CD rigs outperform their TT setups. I too think that my Ayre CX-7... 
I need HELP with my LP12 based system
I do not believe there will be any absolutes (solutions) provided here - too many possiblities, biases, and experiences from imperfect human beings. However, as you gain considerable time purusing internet sites, you can gleen some useful informat... 
Bellari VP129 thoughts/experiences?
I have been using one for a few months now. Despite reading some negative user comments (here on audiogon I think) regarding excessive noise, mine has had no such issues and seems to be good overall. I am working out some TT issues so any other co... 
KRELL KRC or KRC3?
Auditioned the KRC, and KRC-HR in my system and also preferred the KRC, though at the time I assumed the HR was just more neutral and revealing flaws in my setup. Regardless, I ended up purchasing the KRC-3 because it far excelled over anything el... 
Best interconnects for AYRE gear ?
I tried a bunch of cables for going from a CX-7 CD player to my preamp (Krell KRC-3). Some, like the PAD Venustas, were interesting and quite good in many areas (incredible resolution and soundstage). Others that were good were the Shunyata Aries ... 
where to go to find these speakers of choice????
Some Vandersteen dealer might sell used models - sometimes they take trade ins or sell for customers on consignment. And this sight, audiogon, usually has some 5As listed.
