| Final Analog Upgrades You wouldn’t include Allnic, Atmasphere, Manley, Modwright, Luxman, Quicksilver, etc? | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? Puptent, folks are naturally curious about what LP could be valued at $1200. I don’t see where anyone was “carping” about anything. The OP doesn’t want to say, and that’s that. The mystery naturally stimulates some guesswork. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Let’s see. With what “higher frequency” did you bang on your AR? Most likely the frequency was 1Hz. A footfall is also 1Hz. So why shouldn’t the same suspension that filters out one one also filter out the other? What’s with F=ma? It’s true and al... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Tomic , I was merely responding to posts by LP12 owners who mentioned it is susceptible to foot falls. To my way of thinking, that should be the last problem one might expect with a suspended TT. Which is why I asked. I am not the one claiming tha... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Back in their day, I too saw the advert claiming you could whack the plinth of the ARXA with a hammer without disturbing the sound from an LP in play. Which is in part why I posed my question about the LP12 suspension. SOTA use an inverted symmetr... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable I am not an LP12 basher, but what does the spring suspension do, if the table is still sensitive to footfalls? I mean, why bother with the elaborate setup? | |

| Some thoughts on dust covers Elliot is such a nice guy that he worries about my and your tonearms as much as he worries about his own. Elliot, stop screaming and come back into the room. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers If you put together the paragraph that RB quoted from Antinn’s tome with the information that at least some significant fraction of dust is dead skin cells, you might surmise that although dust contains dead skin cells, they are not prone to lodgi... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Dwette , yes I thought $60 was too much but I was in a mental hurry. “Double IPA”? My son in Tokyo loves IPAs but can’t easily find them there. I don’t love IPAs, on the other hand. I do need two more platter covers, so thanks. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers You can buy lucite platter covers that have a hole for spindle and handles for lifting and placing for about $60 each, somewhere on the internet. They protect the platter nicely. | |
| Question about loading with an SUT Adam, I’ve got two oscilloscopes, an audio signal generator, and etc. I’ve built and modified my own equipment, which includes Atmasphere amps and preamp. Even I would find Atmosphere’s suggested procedure daunting. There’s nothing wrong with foll... | |
| Question about loading with an SUT A high gain phono stage can be an MM stage with an additional voltage gain stage tacked on to the input end. Such a topology can therefore handle both low and high output cartridges. Alternatively a high gain phono may simply incorporate a very hi... | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? I’m wit’ you, Gris. | |
| Question about loading with an SUT You left out “head amps” aka “pre-preamps” which have been around since the early 70s. These devices are active gain stages that boost cartridge output voltage ahead of the phono stage. They do not correct for RIAA. Sutherland and Hagerman make go... |
