Question for LP-12 owners

PRAT = Pace, Rhythym And Timing. The stuff that makes you want to tap your feet when the music starts

Mike

I found the answer on another thread...thanks anyway.

PRAT =

Pace
Rhythm
And
Timing

for any other newbies...

The only Linn upgrade that has a reputation for compromising PRAT is the Trampolin. Can't vouch for the mods sold by Extreme Phono, but if you stay with Linn itself, the upgrades are all good. Some are expensive, for sure, but I started with a basic LP12 eons ago and have liked every upgrade. I skipped the Trampolin on the advice of my dealer. I added Lingo, Ekos, Cirkus, Troika and later Arkiv. Ekos was lowest value, Cirkus highest. Lingo is excellent, too, probably worth doing ahead of an Arkiv. I've never heard the Linto, but it is on my long term list. I thought that a pneumatic isolation platform (Townshend) was not as good as a sandbox (Brightstar), but that is room- and system-dependent.

whknopp0713.......lingo is good up-grade.but have you tried a armegaddon..or heard the lp-12 with one...i had the lingo and switched to the naim...gives even more prat.....by the way had the linto also good.....now using a prefix.....i also tried a stage line with flat-cap and hi-cap..and super cap........its also a better value and less expensive one and you can improve it over time.....i agree with you about the ekos arm...regards bora.
