Email the serial number to linn support at helpline@linn.co.uk and they can tell you whether they are mk1 or mk2.  
Subwoofer Decisions - REL/Rythmik, Pair/Single, Paper/Aluminum Driver, etc.
Shortly after I bought the E22’s the REL T9x’s came out. Since both REL and Rythmik offer generous trial periods I decided to buy both so I could be sure I made the right decision and had no doubts about my decision. I hooked both up in similar wa...

Went with a pair of Rythmik E22. Will report back.  
Thinking about getting a R2R DAC
@jjss49 How would you rank the Black Ice, Qutest (w/o MScaler), Codex and Orchid? Any others under $2k with a small footprint that stand out?  
Thinking about getting a R2R DAC
@jjss49 I am thinking of giving the Jolida Black Ice a try. Was curious if you tried the headphone output on it. I'm currently using a Qutest/Headphone amp combo right now and I am thinking of downsizing and pairing the Black Ice with an easy to d... 
Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy?
I recently bought a similar used trade in table from my local Linn dealer and am very happy with it. Mine has the Ittok LVII, Lingo, Trampolin, Cirkus with the Hana ML cartridge. They gave it a tune up and set it up before I took it home. It was a... 
audiophiles who are just getting the itch to upgrade
Congrats. I am in a similar position and considering a table upgrade to the LP12 or VPI Classic. Please share your thoughts and comparisons on how your new VPI table compares to your old LP12. Also, if you don’t mind please share the details of th... 
Getting close to starting the upgrade process...
Since my post, I have added a used Linn Uphorik phono amp, a new Hana ML cartridge and a second Linn 10.25 Subwoofer (Akurate 226) to my system. These have all been massive upgrades and I've been very happy with these decisions. I am still running... 
Does anyone have any experience with a Sutherland Little Loco?
I would love to hear some thoughts on this item too.

I do think you would be better off sticking with a 9 or 10" arm and spending the money on a better cartridge. The difference in price between the 9" and 12" Polytables is nominal and George believes the 12 is superior so he has pretty much stopped... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
What a great thread. Thanks for the ride. I am considering a speaker upgrade as well and have been drawn to the looks and organic sound of the Devores. Did you ever hear the Super 9’s? How are things going with the JA’s?

Thanks for getting this back on track Mike. Not sure how things got sidetracked so fast.Phone Stages - Would love if anyone has thoughts on the Sutherland Little Loco or its big brother. Also, the Linn Uphorik in and out of a Linn system. Thoughts...

The lowest mass of all by far are the moving iron designs used by Soundsmith. You want good sound and hate noise you want MI not MC or MM.Interesting. Any particular models that you recommend checking out?

unless you have a concrete floor under your system you would be better off spending a bit more money and getting a well tuned suspended turntable like a SOTA SapphireThanks for the feedback Mike. I do have a concrete foundation and carpet and the ... 
Power help
Looks like those start at about $5k. That's a bit steep. Is that the only thing that actually works?
