@theo You are, of course, correct. I had spindle on the brain. I run the LP12 on the rare occasion I need a break from the 401!
Linn Sondek question
What is it about a Linn Sondek LP12 that requires it to be tuned up? I was at a Linn specialist recently and was amazed at the amount of Linn Sondeks he had just in waiting for "tune ups" or whatever they needed. There must have been at least twenty. So, how often does this have to be done? Is it the springs, weather conditions etc. I never see other tables requiring this kind of attention for what seems to be required on a regular basis. Can it be done by the owner? Seems like a lot of fiddling. The setup that was there sounded great. There is a specialist on youtube that posts many Linns and the sound quality is fantastic, but at what cost? Like I said, I have never seen that many tables requiring attention in my life. So what his the thing with these tables?

Just noticed, my voice text picked up "anywhere" which was intended to state "any wear" probably makes more sense to those care:) By the way if you need it tuned up, contact Rick at www.audioalternative.com I have recommended him many times and have had some feedback for the folks that have used him that their table never sounded better. Rick is a "linnie extraordinaire" when it comes to the LP12. and noromance, no worries as you can see I have a similar affliction :o |

Have a Linn tech guy tune it every 2yrs recommended; 3 - 4 for sure. They do "drift " with time. Tightening the all the screws with a torque driver and "clocking" the platter were new to me last year in 2016 when I had it done. Plays the Tune as it did in 1988. Maybe a new felt mat if your inclined. mofimadness - Correct roberjerman - Try a tuneup |
