| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? I've have owned my LP-12 for 20+ years and have followed the upgrade path with Cirkus, Ekos, Trampolin II, and Lingo etc.. I started with the OC 9, then Benz Glider, to a Shelter 90x. I have toyed with the idea of changing tables over the years ... | |
| New Turntable Direction I'm very surprised by the retro leaning responses. You must be veterans like me. I am still curious about Oracle Delphi though. I always thought it was beautifully designed and sounded great, and Basis well its a point of curiosity. I always ... | |
| New Turntable Direction Since you mentioned Garrard, I remember when my father bought one in the mid 60"s when seperates became popular. I forgot to mention that I still have a Elac Miracord 750 III with a Shure Cartridge that I'm going to dust off tonight and go down m... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations As always thanks for your feedback which I value so much! I am now leaning more toward Soundsmith but first I have to see what these Mye Sound stands do for my Maggies...................this stuff never ends | |
| Cartridge Recommendations Appreciate your feedback.........what are the sonic characteristics of this cartridge in your system? | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? ......….Linn also recommends to let the stylus clean the record which nobody else advises either...….I believe the source or cartridge should be upgraded first especially since I already have a Lingo. After all The Lingo or Radical is performing ... | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? Excellent/timely discussion as I have had my Cirkus/Lingo/Ekos/Rhea/Shelter for quite sometime, and listened to the Radical/Ekos SE/Keel/Kandid combo at my local dealer earlier this afternoon. I went to hear the cartridge primarily but you know ... | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? I too have owned a Rhea since 07. It replaced an ARC PH 3. The only other phono stage under consideration was the Manley Steelhead as I have the Neo Classic monoblocks. When I first purchased the Rhea it was noisey so Aesthetix re-tubed it for ... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... I have been away from the community for a very long time but I remember this cartridge quest when I was looking to replace my Benz Micro in 05............and yes I was unable to audition anything and my direction was influenced by readings, and au... | |
| Anyone tried the Lyra Kleos in a Linn EKOS SE? This is very timely for me as I have a Ekos, cirkus, lingo,trampoline 2, and have had the Lyra Kleos recommended to me by several people to replace my Shelter 90X......so any feedback you can provide on the Lyra would be appreciated. If it matters... | |
| Old Vinyl Valuation and Care As always thanks for the input. I do not plan on getting rid of any of the albums. Although I now have original releases of the many 180 gram re-issues I own. I will look into the disc dr 78 cleaning solution and see how it compares with the mirac... | |

| Power tubes glowing? I've shattered a few EL 34's, but orange color in my experience has usually meant biasing. The orange glow occurred just before the tube exploded. It ca also mean a start of a bad tube. |
