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?

@daveyf , I have taken apart LP 12s down to the last screw. I have made custom bases for them. Relative to other turntables out there it is built like a Chinese music box. I would even take any VPI turntable over it. Do yourself a favor and ditch it. Get a VPI Scout just don't take the tonearm. There is no amount of silly upgrading that is going to make the LP12 even a class C turntable. I'm am really sorry if I hurt your feelings but you are not going to make me back away from the truth. If the LP 12 was the last turntable on earth I would stick to digital. If you can't afford a better turntable you should do the same. |
