Linn LP12......That good??
X1884, The bearings are good. You want the "Circus" bearing upgrade. It has very tight tolerance and cuts the surface noise in half over the old style bearing. I had an opportunity to A/B an exact table, tonearm, cartridge comp with the bearing ag...

PF "Obscured by Clouds":how good is Japanese lp?
Overhang, fourty for the Odeon is a good price if it is clean and M-. It should have silver lettering on Black background. If you are willing to part with the cash, I think you will find this to be a very nice pressing. Capitol US is obviously on ... 
Lyra Helikon vs ZYX Airy 3
I have not listened to the ZYX Airy 3 but have loads of listening time in front of a Lyra Helikon and find it to be an excellent choice with no reservations. I own an Akiva MC by Linn (that is also made by Scan-Tech who makes Lyra) mounted to a Li...
