@cd318  Once again another opinion from someone who probably doesn't own a Linn! Having owned one of these tables in various forms over the last thirty years, I have never had a problem with it 'drifting' out of set up. Not once! Linn owners who have had their table set up by anyone who knows how to do the job have also never had the issue.
Unfortunately, and as usual, there still are people who persist in putting in their 2 cents that really have no knowledge and thereby disseminate ongoing falsities. The Linn LP12 --particularly in its current guise, is certainly one of the victims of this behavior. Only question i have, is why Linn themselves don't step in and squash it? I guess these days they are too interested in selling their digital gear, too bad, IMO. 
@stringreen   Now we are getting somewhere with you. The truth comes out, LOL.
@tzh21y   why do you think that there are problems with the Linn set up....when we have folks considering the set up by looking at You Tube videos...Yikes! 
You now state that the LP12 Radikal was better, but it cost more?? Shouldn't it be better if it cost more, duh!
I spent lots of time taking my Linn back and forth to the Linn dealer.  ....never to stay put.  The only vinyl component I had more trouble with was the Helius Orion tonearm which had to be sent to England regularly for pivot issues.
@daveyf  You're right, I got rid of mine 15 years ago after poor performance and nothing but hassle. The LP12 money drain palaver (along with marriage/kids) finally resulted in me giving up vinyl for good.  

Still kept around 50 records though. They hold far, far too many memories. And who knows, I may go back to vinyl in the future. But if I do I'll be looking at Technics, Pro-Ject, Rega, Funk Firm etc. Scarred for life by those crap Linn cartridges, and that ghastly 45rpm speed changer.
