| Help me choosing an Integrated Amp Congrats. Let us know how they work out with *your* system. | |
| linn lp 12 parts That is most unfortunate. Sorry to hear that. Scum are everywhere. LP12 is pretty fussy about how it is set up. I cannot imagine the state it is in. Is there a Linn dealer you can reach out to? | |
