Linn chassis mod

I think the cetech is great! Noone has compared the ol dc motor directly to the ac versions with upgraded power supplies a la lingo, naim, or goldmond. 'till that is done, I'll stick with my goldmond.

What phono upgrade is extreme phono offering?

The reviews are positive enough. I am about to send my LP12 to Extreme Phono in CA for the subchassis, armboard and phono cable upgrade. Will let you know how it goes in a month or so, though comparisons will be difficult as I am also putting in an Arkiv B cartridge.

Hello,

Everything the Cetech does is positive and in no detracts from the pacing and drive of the Linn. I changed both the subchassis and the Linn motor for the Origin Live motor and outboard power supply about a yaer ago. It's certainly like having a new turntable born from the same mother.

The Cetech alone resolves much more detail and brings everything more sharply into focus. The OL upgrade gives a much wider, deeper, and better 'arranged' soundstage. the first thing you will notice is that percussion is shockingly realistic and 'in the pocket'.

Either upgrade is a significant improvement. Together the total improvement is greater that the sum of the parts. And how much is the sum of the parts ? The subchassis is $200 to the US. The OL upgrade is around $500. You may want to check with Galen Carol Audio for pricing. He carries most of the Origin Live line in the US.

Have fun,

Mark
