I can. I sold mine for a Kuzma Ref2 and it beats my old LP12 radical in every single way. 
Kuzma was nearly half the price too!
I can tell you that I went down the Linn rabbit hole and the Kuzma is better in every way. It’s not vanilla vs chocolate it’s more like,
one is miles better vs one that isn’t. 

I was was in the cult of Linn. But unlike many in the Linn camp I’m objective enough to know when something is better. 

Linn Radikal is so cheaply made it compared to the Kuzma too. 

The Kuzma does everything the Linn does but better....timing dynamics soundstage and is quieter. Also can try different tonearms instead of being stuck with an Ekos SE which is the most overpriced and under performing arm I ever had. It can only take “Linn” cartridges and some Dynavectors. 

Im not a Linn basher but I am someone who has put his money where his mouth is unlike most die hard Linnies. 

Also @daveyf in “all the Kuzma you’ve heard” have you actually ever listened to a Ref2 in your system??? And perhaps it’s not “funny” that all the guys that end up with Kuzmas say what I say. Perhaps it’s just true?????

I am not alone another friend in Australia went down the Linn path and ended up with the Ref2 as well.

Linn make a great classic TT but really it’s at best a $5000 TT they just keep fleecing their ongoing customers with the upgrades. 

Been there done that. 
That’s really interesting as I went to listen to a friends Technics SP10 iii the other day and was completely gonsmacked by the sound.

@daveyf 

its quite sad that you just can’t respect anyone else’s experiences and have to cast dispersions 
as to their credibility if they don’t agree with yours. It’s almost like you have to “Trump” anyone’s negative experiences with an LP12. 

Once again to answer the @theoriginalthor1 

Not many people buy Linn anymore because they are overpriced and better turntables can be had for equal or less money. 

They have a distinct sound that appeals to some. 

Unfortunately, some of that “some” have to inflict their rightness on the rest of us analog lovers,  which does nothing to help attract people to the Linn portfolio.

“Is it the best table in the world, of course not- “

well said we both agree.

Here is is the Linn I practically gave away for free Davey   


Kuzma is much better in my experience . But of course I must be wrong cause I disagree with you.

Instead of disbelieving anyone he disagrees with your opinion,maybe you should try and be more open minded. You actually might learn something. 




Said the man that pays $7000US for an empty aluminium box with a shiny blue LED and a $20 switch mode power supply 

LMAO. 

And you think I’m an idiot. LMAO




If you’re the guy that uses a golf ball and a piece of string for a tonearm, I’m laughing even harder
🤣
Your right your LP12 is better than a Kuzma you can’t take a Kuzma to a Golf Course and hit 9 holes with its tonearm. 

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

see you you later Tiger

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
