Once the LP12 is setup properly it does NOT need constant calibration.
pre-Cirkus LP12 or ClearAudio Performance CMB
Hi,
I am new to Vinyl and had been having great time with Linn Axis, but it's about time to move up. Have listened to my friend's pre-Cirkus, Vahalla, Ittok LVII -equipped LP12, so I know how it sounds like - easy Linn sound, which I like. It seems to me that, for the price of this configuration, perhaps a little bit more, I could get an used/demo Clearaudio Performance CMB, but I've not heard it. The major debate of LP-12 for me is hassles of constant calibration, and age of equipment (I am planing to keep either choice for the next 15+ yrs without major upgrade). Any suggestion is much appreciated.
