Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade?

@dover   There are a number of car mechanics on the various forums who also fancy themselves as experts at setting up the Linn turntable. All of them complain of the results that they get...I wonder why, hmmm. :0)

@daveyf 
For the record I'm not a car mechanic, and I was a Linn Dealer for a while - at their request - not mine.

@dover  So, what happened?

@daveyf
When they launched the Ekos, I had customers ready to go, and they refused to supply, expecting the customers to go to their distributor direct who also owned a retail outlet. Unfortunately for them my customers were so disgusted they moved away from Linn as well.
I stocked a range of top end TT's at the time.

@dover  What you just described tells me you were not an authorized Linn turntable dealer. Linn are very concerned ( rightly or wrongly) about protecting their Linn turntable specialists/stockists.. from their general Linn dealerships.
