Linn LP12 ..still a good table??

I used to live in the SF Bay Area. The
Analog Room in San Jose did all the work on my Linn. I think the owner's name is Brian. He did an excellent job.

Drubin,

From Access's web site:

We are closing our retail store on December 26, 2009.

We are continuing business as a custom installation company specializing in stereo sales and turntable upgrades.

Might be worth a try

Thanks Gordon.

Setting up an LP12 is not rocket science. I bought mine used 4 years ago and set it up using internet data. It has not been touched since that time, apart from cartridge changes, and sounds better than ever. The trouble is that it is addictive and none of the other sources that i have or have heard since, give me the same satisfaction. It is not what i would call a hifi sound. It is a very visceral, powerful sound which fills my room. I have several other turntables and 2 CD players, none of which do this to the same degree. I have a Linn Axis which also sounds good but on a smaller scale than the LP12. I should point out that mine is a late 80s valhalla with ittok. Not one of the latest versions. I do not feel the urge to add any upgrades to it as it sounds so good.

I can relate to this description with my Axis.

It took a while, but I feel my digital is finally at a comparable level....not the same sounding exactly, but comparable in terms of doing the things that matter most well.

The old Linn tables are a time-proven gold standard since the time when vinyl was IT in audio. What else is there to know that matters?
