How often do you have to tuneup Linn Sondek LP12


Hi, I'm thinking of buying an Linn turntable but was wondering how often do you have tune the subchassis? I have a Rega 25, would moving to the Linn be an upgrade? Would be grateful for any input. Thanks! duckboy

As a very satisfied, long time LP12 owner I've had to tweak my suspension three times since 1984 and one of those times was when installing the Cirkus upgrade. I've lived in my current home for 16 years and have moved the table three times. Set it up and leave it alone. I won't give you advice on what table to buy because most of the folks here don't like this table and consider it a dinosaur. I don't agree. I consider a good used one to be one of the best bargains on the used market.
Lugnut: There are many people here who like the Linn. They just don't have as big a mouth as i do : ) Sean

I have only adjusted mine when I chaged the tonearm. I have one with an SME 309 , and my sons has a 3009. There is a little too much hype about the LP12 . It is simply one of the best sounding tables out there. Once its set up your done.
Agreee with the above posts. I've owned my LP 12 since 1998, and have had the set up checked everytime I've upgradede it (upgrade from Basic to Lingo, upgrade from Akito to Ekos) or when I've disassembled the tbale for moving . About 3 years ago, I shipped the table off to Extreme Phono for the carbon fiber subchassis and armboard ods, and they installed difference nuts on the subchassis screws which seem to hold the adjustement no matter what. I've checked the table a coupe of times since, and have never needed to mess with it. I have since bought another table (Basis Debut Vacuum with all the trimmings) and boxed up my LP12 and Ekos...but still haven't put them up for sale. Good as the new rig is...the LP12 was no slouch..
