| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Daveyf,I really admire your passion for the LP12. That said, not every audiophile enthusiast has $20,000.00+ to spare on a fully upgraded Sondek. I have to agree with Banerjba; my early LP12 was notorious for going out of tune. Maybe the experts a... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Glad you are enjoying your upgraded LP12 Daveyf. I'm pretty sure that the improvements are not subtle. As I said, nothig wrong with the Sondek just extremely expensive IMHO and, like any other suspended TT, finicky and sensitive as descibed by Sut... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Owned one for many years, great table in its own way. Sondek LP12/Ekos/Lingo/Linto/Akiva. Fuzzy to set up and maintain. Overall great sound but falling behind with outdated technology and steep price. Got tired of adjusting the springs every time ... | |
| Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve? Go for the Rega RP40 currently selling in Agon for $975.00 and look no further. You will be hard pressed to find a better TT combo at this price. It's been on the market for quite a long time. You may get it for $900.00 including s/h. Custom match... | |
| Turntable Buying Advice Go for it! Thorens over Orbit in a heartbeat. Do a little research on U-Turn Audio and you will find out that it's really an entry level turntable. Not bad at all for the introductory price of $180.00 but it won't outperform the Thorens. | |
| currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade It's a matter of taste and NEVER about which one is better. Some people (including me) prefer the Rega over the VPI because of the richness and musicality of the Rega compared to the "revealing" nature of the VPI deck. Please note that "revealing"... | |
| Turntable Buying Advice Theorens' better than anything out there past $600.00 - $1,000.00 mark. Good advise all of you, fix the Thorens! | |
| Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig. Darn speller on my cell phone (much easier with the iPad).I meant that my tweaked RP3 gives the RP8 it's run for the money.I also meant to say "little belter" and not "belted".Sorry for the typos.Sbrownnw,I strongly believe that the RP8 is in anot... | |
| Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig. Internal reinforcements? Please explain yourself. As far as I know, it's the same plinth with different coating for a high gloss finish, nothing more, nothing less.I did a head to head comparison with same phono pre and, to my ears, there was no d... | |
| What is a good entry level turntable? TT only? Tonearm included? Cart included? Phono pre included? Budget?Probably the best bang for the buck is the Music Hall USB-1 if you need phono pre included. Just upgrade the cart to an AT-95e. Otherwise, take a look at the Pro-ject Carbon. | |
| Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig. Yes they are Sbrownnw. | |
| Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig. Yes Sbrownnw,Exactly the same plinth, double brace tech, tonearm, 24v motor, sub-platter, belt, and bearing assembly. A "metal cap" snaps on top of the sub-platter to fit the glued, two parts glass platter. The only main difference is the addition... | |
| Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig. Your dealer is offering you a great gig for $3,000.00. However, you can do MUCH BETTER! There is an Rega RP40 selling for $995.00 in Agon which is basically an RP6 for $600.00 less. Go for a used P-75 I or II for about $500.00 and buy a new Lyra D... | |
