OK guys thanks for your replies and input.
And to answer the question from audio_d: the reason that I don’t want to adjust the tonearm height is because I’m an Old Fart and I’ve always had 2 left thumbs. And now those thumbs are old too! There are no Linn dealers here in Albuquerque and none in NM as well. And I haven’t found any service centers here in the city that I’d trust with my LP12 for even 1 minute so I’m trying to keep it simple. So thanks again for the recommendations but I think I’ll take the path of least resistance (as usual) and source a replacement Linn mat.
