@tzh21y I think ever since Linn did away with their US distributor, they have been somewhat struggling. IMO, they seem to underestimate the size and expanse of the US. My local fettler is an excellent Linn set up guy, yet they will not allow him to be a ’upgrade’ dealer, only a parts supplier..so long as it is part of a repair. The logic behind this is they are trying to protect their Linn turntable dealer...which makes great sense! EXCEPT this dealer is 200+ miles away! His impact, or the impact on him, is basically non-existant given the number of Linnies locally and the distances involved...yet they are not flexible in this regard...because I believe they have no real comprehension of the distances involved in the state/country. I have to believe that if they comprehended this more, then they would concede to the idea of having experienced Linn folks work and sell the table in all areas of the country. Plus, it would certainly increase their ’good will’ with their customers ( Future and current!).
Therefore, i can comprehend your points in your post-- except for the SQ difference between a fully set-up LP12 Radikal D and a VPI Scout :0)
