@stringreen,
’If you leave the setup to a pro.....by you bring it home, it will need another adjustment’
Unfortunately, that was my experience too. In the end I got a setup manual from Linn and decided to do the job myself. Many others did similarly, but I wouldn’t recommend it - especially if yours has one with a defective top plate.
All Linn LP12 promo threads run the risk of former disgruntled dissatisfied owners speaking up.
And there’s more than a few...
Linn are possibly one of the most maligned companies in audio today. They no longer seem to have the power to court /coerce reviewers and dealers as they once did.
They couldn’t even be bothered to support their own UK forum for their customers. Now it’s just left to one or two diehard fans.
Yet they were once one of the most admired.
With their strategy of endlessly fleecing their loyal customer base with a stolen design they didn’t really do themselves any favours, did they?
Even if the current LP12 is a much more stable and consistent design than it was, and there’s little assurance of that, then it still faces an entirely different level of competition than it once did.
On the plus side, we should see a continued gradual falling in used prices to bring it within reach of any of those who might have wondered what the fuss was all about.
