Favorite Platform for Linn LP12

Hello everyone :)

I just wanted to take a moment to follow-up and let you know what I ended up getting.

I bought a Symposium Segue to use as the shelf to rest my LP12 on, placing it on my wall mounted platform.

It works very, very well.  Far better than the various maple, birch butcher blocks that I have tried, and better then the baltic birch plywood shelves as well.

The Segue is relatively light and rigid, won't warp, and is attractive to boot :)  It did have a smell to it for quite some time... but has now dissipated, thankfully.  I think it took a couple of months for the smell to leave.  I like the shelf a lot.  It doesn't muddy up the sound of my LP12 like the butcher blocks did, it doesn't smear the details at all.  It has a very neutral effect to the sound, which is exactly what I wanted.

So, it's nice to have another option for people with suspended tables :)

Best wishes to you all, and thank you to everyone who took the time to post your thoughts to this thread!

Thank you, Sir :)  In these unprecedented times, being able to enjoy the music has been a sure blessing.... good for the soul :)

Best wishes,

@no_regrets Nice. Symposium, as stated above, makes some great gear! Their racks have long been on my radar as a replacement should I move away from my current Sound Anchor. Great to hear their shelf works well under the little fruit box.

@daveyf   Thank you!  Yes, Peter at Symposium is a great guy and easy to talk to, very responsive and makes a great product with excellent fit and finish.  It came packed very well.

He knows the Linn LP12 very well and recommended the Segue over the Segue ISO as the latter has a built-in spring system that would not work as well with the LP12 as just the normal Segue.

It's nice to have another great option for people who enjoy suspended tables :)

Best wishes to all,
Don
