New LP12, I like some things and some I don't.
Hello, you also may want to check to make sure things aren't overtightened, especially the strap that mounts the power supply board. LP12s, like any other 'table, sound like bad digital when overtightened. BTW, overtightening causes the top plate ...

I would also check to see if the top plate "rattles" in either corner, near the switch and near the motor. I have experienced that and it makes it sound very "shouty", especially in the upper midrange. If you rap on it with your finger you can see...
