Linn Sondek Hype

I had a time a while back where I thought of selling my Linn and getting a VPI as I was mostly ocencerns about the footfall and adjustment issues inherent to the LP12. I have solved the footfall issues and have, after closer examination, come to realize that the "majic" of re-adjustment are infact myth. I love the sound of the TT and plan to keep it. I also have Mcintosh and have heard for years from people that tell me "oh it's horrible, Oh it's ugly" etc. Well to them I say "eat a bug!" I love it and will continue to buy it. One thing is when I trade up it is easily sold. Funny how a market exists for a company approaching 60 yrs in the business can be so "horrible"!
As far as mounting the LP12 I have it firmly braced to the wall and it sits on 3 Aurios and that has how I solved the footfall. The biggest problem I have with the LP12 is that my job restricts the time I get to listen to it.

Gsxr, if you are in a basement/concrete floor just get a nice stand and set it directly on the floor. I would not wall mount it unless floor space is an issue. With the solid concrete floor you will not have any issues if a good stand is between the TT and the floor. You would not need Aurios or to brace the stand against the wall. Are you having any issues with the wat the TT is playing at this point?

Is it possible to mount the wall shelf to a back brace and add a stabilizing footer that protrudes to the front the same depthe as the shelf and that way it is moveable? Or if you have the shopbench and can make that work until you can afford the stand you want. That would save patching holes in drywall later.
