Funny noises about LP12's coming from the Private ads section

an lp12 it will quite easily, if a technics 1200 did i am sure an orbe will. any way see you all.

 

nice old bike there! i have a honda 600 hornet!

 

I've heard the Orbe on many occasions. I don't think it's any better than the LP12, and it is a pain to use because of the clamp. It also has no lid, so it gets covered in dust very quickly.

Turntables are often judged on looks....

 

nothing to do with looks it only about the sound, no the orbe is nothing special ,it needs a good arm and a van den hul to get out the best.
ok destroy is not the right word to use, but it gets the point across yea?

 

most decks available today give a great sound, with exception to a linn ,that is my experience and NOTHING will change that. jesus my lp12 was a 5 grand spec one, and i was so so unhappy with it.

 

It gets the point across, but so what?

If your Linn was so bad, then why did you buy it?

 

reading reviews and getting sucked into all the hype that's how. luckily i sold it and not at a great loss.

 

A happy ending, then.

 

correct. a happy ending, the point i am trying to get across is don't believe in hype or magazines, trust your ears and nothing else, and spending thousands on kit does not garantee a good sound.

 

Very perceptive of you, thanks for the advice.

 

to many of us are affraid to speak our minds, but that is how i am i'm affraid

 

Yes, I can tell.

 

Rudolph, do you drive a Saab?

 

i heard a 20 grand linn set up a few years back and on paper it was a winner but in reality awefull.

 

no only the lp12 and xerxes thats about it

 

I think you've made your point Rudolph, I guess we all now are aware how you feel about the Linn. Is there anything else you would like to talk about? I am getting this slight feeling of deja-vu with regards your post. In the last three days you've made 163, and you don't really seem to have a lot to say other than an aversion to Linn. Are you aware of the signal to noise ratio, because at the moment I'm suffering from way to much noise!

Edited to add:
3 more whilst I typed this out. Amazing!!!

 

i can't help wondering whether using expressions like '' i was so so unhappy with it'' in the context of hifi is a little unhealthy. on the other hand i know what you mean.

 

ok i take the point my friend ta ta

 

Rude ol', what arm and cart would you suggest? I've got a gyro upgraded to Orbe, with Roksan Artemiz and Shiraz on. the Shiraz is 6 years old now and I'll need a change soon-ish. I've been thinking lyra, but don't know if my artemiz is up to the job.
