The Lynn LP12 is flimsy cheaply implemented table that’s Rates as midfi gear. Compared to the class A standards is laughable. It’s no better than an old AR table.
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
I don’t see many discussions that include the Linn Sondek LP12 turntable and was wondering why? They’ve been around since the late 70’s and other then power supply and a few other minor changes (IMO) are relatively unchanged. I had one in the early 80’s and another in the late 90’s. They are somewhat finicky to get setup correct and once you do, they sound great. That being said I know there have been a lot better designs to come out since the LP12’s hey-day. Are they worth considering anymore or has the LP12 just become another audio vintage collectors item?

@jew16384 LOL, you are so right--the nasty knock off Lynn is exactly as you describe! |
@cd318 Says the man who doesn’t even own a turntable, never mind a Linn! Keep going, I’m beginning to enjoy this--;0)
I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I was getting a little worried that that it might get tiring having to continuously defend the indefensible.
I was the one who compared (among other tables better than either) my AR to the Linn. AR Xa. Merrill subchassis. Merrill motor and power supply. Jelco arm. Grado green. Agree no comparison to Linn / Ittok / troika. AR superior. Doesn’t have the snob appeal tho
Well said. I have an AR XB1 and wouldn’t swap it for any other belt driven deck.
