Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
@pindac  An ongoing upgrade path of the original design and by the same manufacturer??  
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
@garylb   +1. One thing we always hear from the naysayers and denigrators of the Linn is when asked to name another table that has the ability to be updated over time is this...dead silence! LOL.  
Zenwave alternatives
While the Zavfino cables that I have heard are fine, I do not think they are really in the same league as the Zenwave's. IMO.  
Nordost Cable Listed in Order of Importance
@mikelavigne   +1. This is my experience as well.   
Zenwave alternatives

Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever
@lewm  when I am discussing the new Lyra cartridges with the new angle technology designs, set up is ultra critical. Get it even the slightest bit incorrect and the performance suffers. This really is not the case with the typical MM cartridge, wh...

I’m a Linn naysayer... I owned this table back in 1975 and I had so many problems with it after my car mechanic and I set it up i could never recommend it, which is why i sold it then. My friend also owns a Linn LP12, he bought his in 1980 and upd...
