I set up my equipment recently after a long layoff. I was away for a few years and had the equipment stored away. The equipment is a Linn Axis with Counterpoint amp and preamp (tube). I mean the cd player sounds great but my analog is hurting any advice?
I had a Linn Axis years ago and really liked it. I wouldn't give up on the table unless you think it has a mechanical issue with speed or the bearing. If it's working correctly, no reason to replace it. I would look at a possible problem with the cartridge. Maybe the cantilever suspension has hardened and lost its compliance.
Since your Linn was in storage and not being used, the electrolytic capacitors may need replacing. Also the rubber suspension can dry out and you may need to add or change the bearing oil. My Axis was in storage and needed service to return it to optimal performance.
