Linn Sondek LP12 - Which Power Supply has the best value?
I have a vintage LP12 with Valhalla PS (recapped). It has new springs, Motor, Tone Arm Cable, changed Basik arm to Ittok LVII Black, Linto Phono Stage, and Ortofon MC X30 upgraded by VAS with Boron/Micro line. Iwant to change the PS in order to have 33.33/45rpm switch. I can use the Valhalla on an Ariston RD80 SL that I am repairing/upgrading.
Interested in opinions of which PS to implement that is in balance with the value of the assembled pieces. I may do other upgrades later on to the bearing/platter/etc...
@maam522a What motor did you use as a replacement? The Lingo 4 PS with its 12V AC motor (plus 331/3 & 45 rpm switch) would be the most appropriate PS for your TT. That, followed with a Karousel bearing would be quite an upgrade transforming your table to a much higher level. I ran an Ittok arm for years and when I changed my bearing to Karousel it was a huge upgrade. The plinth, bearing and PS are the foundation for a Linn TT. Bruce |
@brskie That combo is outside my budget. I really just want a good solid supply with 45 capability. My next upgrade will probably be the bearing set up. I am very pleased with the current sound of my TT. |
