Linn Sondek question
What is it about a Linn Sondek LP12 that requires it to be tuned up? I was at a Linn specialist recently and was amazed at the amount of Linn Sondeks he had just in waiting for "tune ups" or whatever they needed. There must have been at least twenty. So, how often does this have to be done? Is it the springs, weather conditions etc. I never see other tables requiring this kind of attention for what seems to be required on a regular basis. Can it be done by the owner? Seems like a lot of fiddling. The setup that was there sounded great. There is a specialist on youtube that posts many Linns and the sound quality is fantastic, but at what cost? Like I said, I have never seen that many tables requiring attention in my life. So what his the thing with these tables?

This is one of the reasons I let mine go. No offense to noromance but I was taught that you push down on the platter 1/2 way between the spindle and tonearm base to check alignment. But that only indicates the suspension and won’t reveal anywhere on the other parts . I will say that properly tuned they are a very tough table to beat for musicality. |
Just noticed, my voice text picked up "anywhere" which was intended to state "any wear" probably makes more sense to those care:) By the way if you need it tuned up, contact Rick at www.audioalternative.com I have recommended him many times and have had some feedback for the folks that have used him that their table never sounded better. Rick is a "linnie extraordinaire" when it comes to the LP12. and noromance, no worries as you can see I have a similar affliction :o |
