Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did???
Even though I like the Linn Classik it has made me realize that I've been right all along. Speakers are NOT the final answer for producing great sound. Important, but upstream is even more important. 
looking to purchase AT6006 tonearm lift or similar
I'm going to try the Q'UP too, since my AT is starting to fail at times. Much better price and a more recent product. It's hard to tell how old AT's really are or how long a new one has sat in the box. The Q'UP's don't look as delicate either. Goo...

Just got my (2nd) Linn Classik as a back up for when tubes go out. Good sound and versatile, but no way I'll go back to SS. It just can't compare even though it sounds good to me...just not nearly as good.

Just get off of your lazy ass... just kidding. Don't over pay for something that is very sensitive and can fail at any given time. Wait till there is one on sale at a good price. 179.00 is way too high. Great invention though.

I will only go back to SS if I want to downgrade in sound or get out of the hobby altogether. I'm getting a Linn Classik for days that I'll only listen to music for 1-2 hours. It'll come in handy if a tube goes out and I have no back up.

If you can;t get one on time, wait till the price is 140.00 or less. The one on the bay is way too high. Mine is starting to work when it wants now, but I really like the invention. Good luck.

Top 5 favorite MM cartridges currently available
I second the Linn Adikt. I took one of of a second Linn LP12 since I do not like to buy or sell used carts. I put it on a new Rega RP3 and it sounds every bit as good as both the LP 12's I had. One had the Ittock LVII the other an Ekos. I had used... 
how do you level a turntable?
Make sure your 3/4'' mdf shelves aren't warped first. You'd be surprized. Run a level across them first. 
Most suitable tone arm for linn sondek LP12
I had 2 Sondek 12's and I liked them, but they sounded about the same as my Rega RP3 and are much more hassle. Every 2 years you need to put new springs in and it's hard todo without a jig, although it can be done. It is not a set it and forget it... 
Beware: Unscrupulous potential buyers
If you sell an item for more than 300.00 grt the buyer to send seperate MO's. Some only go up to 1000.00 so more than one needs to be purchased. If your buyer dosen't agree, don't ship. 
Beware: Unscrupulous potential buyers
You can't get burned on a MO if it has been cleared and you do not cash it where you keep your bank account. Do not ship or send the buyer the tracking # for a few days. I take money orders but warn the buyer not to make a habbit of using them. I ... 
Ads with no picture WTF??
Pics have been hard to load in the new site for some. I agree, I would not even want to run an add without a pic. The potential buyer should at least see what they may be buying. It's part of trying to be there for your buyer. I agree with MT, no ... 
You think Audiogon has problems ... look at Ebay
After a year negatives can be erased. If someone is only a buyer they will not have negatives, and if they have enough feedback the sellers will not know to block the bidder. I had a buyer put in a negative for me years ago because I would not shi...
