Favorite Platform for Linn LP12

I’ve a Linn LP12 (~Akurate configuration and Trampolin 2) on  the way. My floor is concrete and heavy’ish wooden rack. I don’t have empty shelf space on my rack. Hence I’m planning to use the space on my window sill.

@daveyf would that be ideal? My other options are 1) add another extra shelving to my heavy wooden rack for LP1: 2) put a platform between the window sill and bottom of LP12. What would you recommend for a concrete floor?

@radiohead99   I would suggest sourcing a lightweight rack for the Linn. Something like a used Target audio, or other small like kind rack. 

I do not have my lp12 anymore but did use the target wall mount. Before that I used IKEA lack table top on resting on many different footers.

 I don’t understand all the dislike for the lp12, with a good power supply, bearing and arm it’s a very enjoyable table. Once set up with new springs and grommets by someone that truly knows what there doing and left alone you are good for many years. I miss my Linn sometimes and consider buying another every once in awhile. Sure there better tables out there but it’s all personal taste.

Paul, I think you described why some might not like the Linn pretty well, in your second paragraph. It boils down to fussiness plus the high cost of the most necessary factory upgrades. 

Hello everyone :)

I just wanted to take a moment to follow-up and let you know what I ended up getting.

I bought a Symposium Segue to use as the shelf to rest my LP12 on, placing it on my wall mounted platform.

It works very, very well.  Far better than the various maple, birch butcher blocks that I have tried, and better then the baltic birch plywood shelves as well.

The Segue is relatively light and rigid, won't warp, and is attractive to boot :)  It did have a smell to it for quite some time... but has now dissipated, thankfully.  I think it took a couple of months for the smell to leave.  I like the shelf a lot.  It doesn't muddy up the sound of my LP12 like the butcher blocks did, it doesn't smear the details at all.  It has a very neutral effect to the sound, which is exactly what I wanted.

So, it's nice to have another option for people with suspended tables :)

Best wishes to you all, and thank you to everyone who took the time to post your thoughts to this thread!
