new arm cable jam my Linn arm, need advice. thanks


hi folks,

i just purchased an ensembale arm cable(regular pin connector) to replace my Linn 90 degree connector arm cable,though it sounds lot better, but it jam my arm, so I have to raise my linn12 table in order to accommdate the needed hign, i can either, first replace the ensemble to 90 degree connector(may be hard to do?) or raise the linn 12 all the time( actually it sound better) or shift back to origianl linn arm cable.
any suggestion please, thanks

I have just replaced my Linn cable with the silver interconnect from Extreme Phono. Wow, what an improvement, the original that came with the turntable was a really nasty, cheap piece of work. Casy at Extreme custom makes his cable to fit the LP12 & therefore I encountered no problems when I installed the new cable. I was so impressed with Casey's apparent understanding of the LP12's design limitations that I went ahead & replaced the original sub-chassis & armboard with their his carbon fibre parts. I also dumped the Akito arm & replaced it with an SME Model 10. The sonic performance is was amazing! Moral of the story, don't always listen to the Linn dealers, they have square Earth thinking as far as tampering with the deck is concerned. If you need more advise I urge you to get in touch with Casey at Extreme Phono.
