| Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one Golly, $7k is a lot to spend on a used LP12. What is wrong with it? You can replace a busted Valhalla board with a new DC motor kit for a few hundred bucks. Unless the Ittok is worn out, keep it and add an AT Art9... | |
| Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp? @gochurchgo There is one for sale at the giveaway price of $650 here. | |
| Diffusion or Absorption From other conversations I have had, and testing for myself, I would recommend you remove the foam in your room and replace it if necessary with GIK panels. The steel doors? How about self-adhesive carpet tiles? | |

| Have you recently lost a close audiophile buddy? What has it taught you? Lost a pal 20 years ago. He was an opinionated bastard, yet a patient guiding force when I was new to all this. An opera singer and smoker. No cares about the big house falling down around him as long as he had the music. Big room, tall ceilings. ... | |
| Lehmannaudio Black Cube SE II Ask the questions anyhow... | |
| Thorens Turntables TBH, they look gorgeous but I'd be inclined to look for a Thorens 124, a Lenco 75 or a Garrard 301/401 especially as you are looking at close to $2k. |
