| What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP Firstly, that depends on your subjective definition of "better".Secondly, turntable design is not as straightforward as ya might think so ya may be astonished to know that your "better" (insert as applicable) design has flaws. (This also means tha... | |
| What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP Well, since the OPs 3 preferred options are all Linn-based I'm going to stick with that question and keep it relevant. ;^)The LP12 has the distinction of being the (only?) turntable that can be built from scratch using readily available non-Linn p... | |
| What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP Dear SG,I can appreciate your confusion. It's good to hear your VPI is working properly ;^)I'm certain many VPI owners would echo your sentiments.To make matters worse in this example it used all the standard gadgets (clamp, periphery ring etc) in... | |
| What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP Long before reading his comments, I invested in one of those "superior" turntables that Arthur Salvatore bangs on about, equipped it with a Phantom mkII. Yes it does do all the details, dynamics, stability and realism that one would expect from su... | |
| What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP Actually many Users who can remember back to early 1980s models find that the Valhalla version has much to recommend it.(The Valhalla is no longer supported by Linn so you can't buy one now BTW)One way to get close to (or better) that performance ... | |
| Lyra Argo Question Apologies for asking the obvious but did you remember to zero the anti-skate before re-checking the stereo cart alignment and VTF i.e. is your cart displaying an offset angled cantilever when not in use?You didn't say how much mileage the cart has... | |
| Keith Richards Interview BTW..I'm ashamed of you guys... :) :)No one noticed the deliberate mistake. I cut and pasted a short comment about the track "Carol" from a second e-mail because it was assumed to be a BD comment (because that's what it stated). "BD" had been clea... | |
| Keith Richards Interview It could well be more than that, Geoff...(nearly 30 yrs?)If memory serves, widespread use of Sony PCM1600 machines in the recording industry didn't seriously happen until mid-late 1980s?All credit to them if they managed to dodge that particular b... | |
| Keith Richards Interview Thanks Geoff :)To some that review may have sounded as if I was baiting digital enthusiasts but it was intended as an illustration of why Keith's preference for analogue is easily understandable. (As our analogue friends here already know).Note th... | |
| Keith Richards Interview Moving on…. :D :DGetting back to the subject of the Thread here is a relevant anecdotal account of my 2013 comparison of the 60-track Rolling Stones TrueHD Blu ray with a similar 40-track compilation LP from 1977 entitled “Rolled Gold”. (Bearing i... | |
| Keith Richards Interview That's libellous Geoff. You do realise on-line abuse is traceable these days. Never write anything in a Forum that you wouldn't say in a court of law... ;^)Besides, the last people we should be taking cheap shots at are those who achieved success ... | |
| Keith Richards Interview The title of this section of the Forum is "Analog". Keith was expressing his views, and preference for...Analogue.Besides, if I'd published it anywhere else I'd be up to my neck in Digiphile trolls by now... ;^) :DI've been around. I know these pe... | |
| Keith Richards Interview You're in luck! These You Tube folk don't hang about ;^)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjNCEhVmLxoAlso enjoyed his comments on the outcome of the Labour leadership contest :) | |
| Keith Richards Interview Guys, sorry about that. I suspected this might happen.The BBC also block access to "overseas" parts of their site from UK citizens, which, as you say, can be very frustrating. |
