Linn Sondek- Origin Live upgrades anyone?
I tried the 'Advanced' speed control box/motor back when I owned an LP-12 (we're going back well over 10 years) and was unimpressed.  The DC motor was decent enough, but the speed drifted like crazy since it was/is an open-loop controller, without... 
Trelja and friends in New York, 2004
Having been a member here since 2000, I echo the opinions of the last two posts.  One used to be able to have a meaningful discussion, and one could actually learn something.  Now, not so much.  Sad.  You know who you are. 
Stack Audio's Alto PSU or Vinyl Passion's revolution 2 for Linn LP12 ?
I've heard neither, but I like the engineering philosophy behind the Stack Audio unit better.  The Vinyl Passion unit appears to be a Lingo condensed down to a Valhalla sized unit.   However, I think the addition of Vinyl Passion's Linn motor clon... 
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
Go.  1st LP.  Stomu Yamashta, Steve Winwood, Michael Shrieve 
Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ?
I'm in agreement with mitch2 - the Khozmo represents exceptional dynamic transparency, and an attractive price.  I use a stereo version, with three inputs and two outputs, Vishay Nude Z-Foils and Takman REX shunts (carbon vs metal film of the REY)... 
Need Female BNC to Male RCA 90 degree adaptor...?
I work as as AV professional and have never seen that exact 90 degree configuration.  You can easily do it with two adaptors however - RCA F to M 90 and then a straight F BNC to M RCA. The depth (at the 90) would be the same, just a bit longer in ... 
Luminous Audio: Are They Still In Business?
Khozmo.  Furnish him with your system parameters (input and output impedance, speaker sensitivity, amplifier gain) , and he will design a solution for you.  Wonderfully built, affordable, astonishingly transparent.  It took a long while to dislodg... 
Question about The Doors Soft Parade Remasters
If you want the best sounding copy, the Analogue Productions 45 RPM version would be tough to beat. 
Clear Day silver jumpers or equivalent
You could also explore the bare silver options from VH Audio and Tempo Electric.  I own a pair of Clear Day jumpers, but unfortunately, they're still in use.  ;-)) 
Favorite Platform for Linn LP12
When I had that finicky SOB, the Mana supports worked the best.  It was a happy day when that one left the house.

Rung in lobe and stapes
The Little Giant is a very nice and flexible ladder, but it's really very heavy given its size.   
Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy?
Yup, old cables.  Got off the merry-go-round quite some time ago; there's too much music to listen to.  Some Gabriel Gold Revelation R ICs, Argent Audio Pursang S, and Clear Day double shotgun speaker cables.  I'm a solid core kind of guy, aside f... 
JVC DLA-RS25 replacement bulb
I work in the AV industry.The short answer is no.  You get what you pay for.  Sorry. 
DIY REL Speakon Cable?
I used three runs of 16g Duelund in a loosely braided configuration.
