| Linn LP12 turntable @richardbrand The Linn LP12 can work well with a Trampolin 2 base on a heavier stand. I use mine atop a Sound Anchor stand that is quite heavy. The stand does sit on spikes that sit on a concrete floor. I have 'AB'ed the table on a lightweight l... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable I believe that the LP12 is actually relatively immune to foot falls, particularly if one is using a Trampoline 2. If there are issues, a very lightweight stand, like a Sound Organization, or a Target stand..and if available, a cheap IKEA Lack,will... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable When you buy a LP12, you need to remember that you are essentially buying a modular and upgradeable system. The fact that the table was originally built in 2000, or even earlier, would not concern me. The main upgrade path for LP12’s is as follows... | |
| Top 10 Live Albums I listened to the newly released MoFi Santana Lotus album tonight. It's a winner, with superb SQ and a very nice rendering of the 'live' space. As usual, the percussion section is mind blowing! That and the keyboards are the main stay of the band,... | |
| Best Recording of Scheherazade A friend played his ultra rare copy Reiner/Chicago on RCA Shaded Dog with 10s 10s stampings for me yesterday. This is the one to acquire if possible, an incredible sounding record with the best SQ of this piece I have ever heard! Amazing. | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy I don’t have a problem with reviewers who gush platitudes, but I do question how discriminating they are when a new product arrives in short order, one that replaces the old model, and they then magically hear the improvements of the new model. Wh... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. This question has to do with your room size and your speaker design. In my very small room, I have experimented both ways, toed in and straight ahead. The toed in position works fine, but I notice that I do lose some imaging specificity. I also fi... | |
| HumminGuru vs.Degritter @bbenzaquen6343 I think you are mistaking the HG with a Kirmuss, which is a modified jewelry cleaner. The HG was designed solely as a LP cleaner. I also believe the best way to clean LPs is with both US and vacuum. The results I get with a vacu... | |
| What preamp with both line stage and phono? OP, consider the CAT SL1 preamp with the built in phono stage. The latest versions are the best tube based preamps on the market, IMO. | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? @linnlp12 Indeed, the Linn din cable is a weak link. I don't use a Linn arm. ( This is just one of the reasons why). The arm i use has a Van Den Hul litz tonearm cable wired from the cartridge pins straight out to a junction box, there the cable ... | |
| Starting my showroom again Where I live we have three high end dealers. One works out of his home, the other two have brick and mortar stores. The B&M store owners have been in business for either over 30 years..or just over 5. The one who has been in business just over... | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? @jc51373 Now that I own a Linn LP12 Klimax spec model, and having heard a lot of tables since this thread started, all I can say to your post is YMMV. I had the choice of buying a Palmer, a Technics 1000, a Dr Feickert and even a TechDas V Premiu... | |

| Missing Members The irony of this thread is that there is a parallel thread on the tired forum...WBF. This thread asks: "is there a Hi Fi Mafia controlling what we discuss and talk about in Hi Fi?". Ironic that the WBF forum is controlled by two complete tools w... | |
| Review: Jeff Rowland Design Concentra mkIIp Amplifier @ovature interesting comment, particularly since we have no frame of reference as to your ancillary gear. There has never been a grainy sounding piece of gear made by Rowland, so if you truly heard that, it can be credited to something else in yo... |
