linn sondek tt

even if set up by an expert, by the time you get it home its out of adjustment.... used to own one

actually, I went to their website and the phone number is the one here locally for all Linn. I tried to contact somebody at Linn, they just directed me to this local guy who tells me i have to travel 200 miles to hear one or go 500 miles to NYC. Thats just crazy since they are truly less than 15 minutes away driving slowly.  Maybe somebody at Linn will see this and realize how crazy that is.

"While recent sales of new turntables have been between 300 and 700 per year, Linn tells us the higher proportion of sales is attributed to upgrades. Owners can send their decades-old LP12 to the Linn factory to be upgraded to current day specification – yes, even those purchased over 40 years ago."http://https//www.whathifi.com/features/making-linn-sondek-lp12

With such a small yearly production, I am not surprised there are so few dealers and that Linn has taken over their distribution in the US.
Technics makes more turntables in a week than Linn makes in a year!

  @stringreen What you stated tells me that your LP12 was never set up correctly in the first place. Once set up correctly, the table does not ‘drift’ or any such thing. Pure and utter myth. 
Now, how you transported it home, well that’s another question, lol.

 @tzh21y   I guess it depends where you are located. I do know that Linn are now handling distribution in the States themselves. Could it be that the so called local rep isn’t able to demo for you. Since Linn are taking over, it doesn’t surprise me that much that they don’t have a local dealer set up for you to hear the gear....yet. Although it willl depend on where you are in the country.
