Linn Sondek LP12 impressions


Hello I was wondering if anyone still uses these old designed turntables?

I know its totally not vogue since its a belt drive and all the rage DD and Idler have taken over as "the reference"

Hi Noromance....funny how you can pick up coloration as colors esp in music as colors ...I wish more people talked like this

Mine does not sound like this but maybe mine is not setup perfectly to hear this "orange color"

Any turntable that has so many upgrade kits must be exceedingly popular or why try to cash in?

Among the countless "upgrades" here is the

Ultimate LP12 Tuning
"The Linn is a music making machine"

Yup, that's the essence of its popularity I would say. Certainly more so than any other table I have ever owned over the years. Whatever its faults may be (what are those exactly again?) its a winner for sure.
I really enjoy my LP12. It took a while for me to take the plunge and spend $600 on an Origin Live DC motor upgrade. That upgrade made a considerable difference. It was an immediate "Why did I ever wait sooo long to do this?" I have never heard the Lingo so I can't make a comparison, but the Origin Live is worth every cent. I believe the upgrade is now less expensive.
