I will say this. I have heard a Linn recently with the radical and it is a very nice sounding table if set up correctly. I was pleasantly surprised at how my scout sounded in comparison to the Linn. My setup cost about 3k including cartridge. The Linn was close to 10k. The Linn did sound very good but the scout had more air. At least with my cartridge. The Linn had better control and depth. It was better than the scout but it also cost over 3 times as much. It did sound better than I thought it would, especially with the Linn cartridge. It did not sound as good with a Benz.
Interesting thought- Linn &
Been considering a Linn Radikal power supply/motor kit for my LP12. It is now powered by a late "shoe box" Lingo- old styl box but the circuit board is all SMD's.
Anyway, it occurred to me that for the price of the Radikal I could buy a VPI Prime with a tonearm. I recently heard the Prime and was very impressed with it
I really like my Linn, and have zero thoughts of disposing it.
So so the theoretical question is Prime or Radikal? It would be great to move my LP12 up another notch and it ours be a blast to hav a 2nd TT
