To be honest I don't have a list of everything that was done to the LP12 but I was told by the owner it was pretty much maxed out for upgrades. the rest of my friends system is Nagra PL L pre amp. driving the 6 Quad mono blocks all have been fully upgraded and rebuilt removing the silly quad cabling system. The work was done by a local friend who builds $25k SET amps and the quads sound very good indeed. the Panels have all be rebuilt and are inside a custom bamboo frame one on top of the other. the whole system is in a dedicated audio room built specifically built for his system with a sub floor for isolation and wiring. I have to say his system is very transparent, very wide and deep sound stage ( best I've ever heard) and fill that room totally. even the base is great with 6 panels. i'll add a couple pictures I took of his place to me profile if you care to look, he's got 15000 records on the walls lol that's what blows me away lol. anyway i'm not saying the LP12 wasn't good sounding just not up to what the others had to offer in musicality drive and toe taping pleasure.
Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12?
I have a LP12 with new EkosSE arm with Skale weight. The TT has Keel chassis, Radikal power, AQ Leopard cable. I use a Krystal MC now. I'm asking what cartridges mate best with my setup from a compliance standpoint- weight mount, suspension table etc. From that list I'll try narrow down to good selections that mate to my phono/pre. Hopefully I will have a few that I can choose from to suit my listening tastes, knowing that compatibility isn't coloring what I hear. My budget limit is $10k. I have some thoughts already, but don't want to bias comments by naming them. So please help me to narrow my options down to the best candidates.
