Linn LP12 turntable

@mylogic

Thank you for your kind comments.

My dealer is very knowledgeable about Linn matters and has been selling their products for decades. He is on Facebook every day advising people on Linn stuff old and new.

However, I am sure he’d never claim to omnipotent and there’s always room for individual preferences. I don’t know his views on wall shelves. I think he was just saying that a metal shelf might resonate.

On the other hand, my wife is omnipotent. I wouldn’t dare say otherwise :)

Thank you for the reply.

OMNIPOTENT….,Got me thinking outside the box again! Made me smile :-)

Good to hear a wife open to all positions!

More power is always good in hi-fi and she’s on your side.

l have just seen a new post on Audiogon (deadhead1000) on a matter l discussed two days ago……. Whether some enthusiasts have ever divorced a wife to keep the hi-fi.

I agree with your comments.

When you buy an LP12, it's wise to employ someone who knows how to set it up properly.

Maybe, there are some audiophiles who know what they're doing, but I'd never attempt to tinker with one. That is apart from putting it in place, setting the counterweight and bias and cleaning the stylus.

I set up every other aspect of my system, but never the LP12. In fact, my old dealer said that I was an unusual client. He did everything for most customers.

My ex used to complain that I spent more a stylus than she would on an entire stereo. She'd be horrified to know I've now got a hifi system that's worth more than our cars were.

That may well have been a contributory factor to our split.

If I'd stayed with her, I'd be richer but not as happy.

A very open and honest answer there.

A question…..

How many handbags and pairs of shoes did she own before the split? Family expenses can be frittered away….in other many ways not so visibly obvious.
