I read it as he wants a new pulley that accommodates a round belt and he wants to use a round belt. Linn does not use a round belt.
Does anyone manufacture an alternative Linn Sondek belt pulley ?
I am so tired of adjusting that terrible pulley that my Linn Sondek has at present. I cannot stop the belt from slipping, regardless of how many belts I have changed and however many adjustments I have made. Maybe on my TT, the axis of the motor mount wrt the chassis is bent..... Regardless, I do not want to spend any more money on TTs except maybe just for a new fool proof pulley. Besides, its sound to me, is still great, when the belt does not slip.
If anyone manufactures a Linn GROOVED pulley for a standard 2 or 3 mm diameter ROUND belt, it would be perfect. It would be so much more capable of dealing with slight imperfections and age and mechanics of older TTs, which I am prepared to live with.
Anyone know any third parties doing this ?
Thanks

How many times the bearing has been redesigned ? How many times the subclasses has been redesigned ? How many time have they redesigned the power supply ? To answer these 3 - fewer times than most other companies have introduced new models. No upgrades are forced. If a new model were introduced every 8 years would that be a con job? You could have spent $40k on a fully fruited Linn only a few years ago and its still out of date. A maxed out LP12, a few years ago, wasn't $40,000; and it wasn't $30,000 either. It was in the $20's You don't like the LP12- that's fine, but plenty folks like it and appreciate that their older tables are not made obsolete every few years. |
