| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? Don't do it. Never allow a 3rd party re-tipper to touch any cartridge lest you become the laughing stock of your peers here and on all forums where these grand poobahs of phono cartridge wisdom reside.

| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? the perpetuation of the myth that LP12s are fussy to set-up is tiring and patently false. If you can change a bike tire or fix a leaky faucet you can work on and perfectly maintain your own LP12. By design, all upgrades are very easy to install in... | |

| Add 45 RPM to an LP12 A 45 rpm adaptor available at any Linn dealer or online for around $40. It slips over the 33 rpm pulley, a rubber o-ring insures a snug fit without slippage. | |
| LP12- Power Supply- Need education There is, as usual, a ton of misinformation and pure ’BS’ being foisted by those who really have absolutely no clue about the sound of a well set up Linn LP12. I love this from mijostyn...’listen to a Linn platter, you will be able to pick up radi... | |
| LP12- Power Supply- Need education None of the power supplies mentioned here, including any of the Linn options or the VPI PSs, incorporate a feedback mechanism whereby instantaneous changes in platter speed can be sensed and corrected. You’re incorrect, both the Linn Lingo 4 and ... | |
