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

i have listened to all the top ortofons on a rockport and found even the basic van den hul superior, they are all mass produced. van den hul are not

 

no thanks i have been bitten with that linn thing to many times, i am ok doing what i am doing,
look when you pay £1000 for a cartridge it should be bloody marvelous yea? it wasn't so i won't go down that road again thankyou.

 

the ekos is a great arm on another deck, i have heard one on a rock and it was bloody good, i am anti lp12 that is it

 

That's allowed.

 

maybe an ekos akiva on a rock or orbe may sound great, but may sound great is TO RISKY my friend you cannot borrow a cartridge and arm that easily can you.

 

No, indeed. Far too risky, my friend.

every time i upgrade my lp12 it got worse now that says to me that the lp12 is not up to the job

 

ops an lp12 aye. never heard the aro, good?

 

"every time i upgrade my lp12 it got worse now that says to me that the lp12 is not up to the job"


Certainly, it sounds like there was something wrong, somewhere. Anyway, that's all behind you now.

The Aro is OK.

 

Was never a fan of the LP12, but recently heard one with latest spec and Akiva and yes it was more to my taste than other LP12's I have heard. Surprised me!!

 

Well, if you can bring yourself to brave the dreadful din from my ATCs..

 

perhaps James, the LP12 I heard was the latest linn spec, circus, etc lingo2 with ekos and akiva, into a whest PS feeding a linn active system with Keltics, best LP12 I have heard to date, more hifi like than flat earth, I feel perhaps another visit would be prudent, as besides our petty differences in hifi, we got on apart from that, I should also have those new speakers soon, and they will be more to your taste than my current ones I feel. Flat accurate and coherent with a nice big woofer. I'll call you, or visit at your place of employment. (during your tea break of course, wouldn't want you to be accused of wasting taxpayers money, NHS beaurocracy does enough of that without it's consultants joining the band wagon, besides at least you are at work, and not swanning about on the golf course or hawking for private patients )

 

Well it is. As the current Lingo is better than the old.

power supply makes very little difference at all, if take away my qc supply and use the basic one on my gyro, under blind listening there is NO difference. i have been down that road to many times aswell i'm affraid.
as i said before the lp12 is just an old design with mdf and pressed steel, they need to redesign the whole thing, i will never have another lp12 as long as i live. if a technics deck can beat it then there is no hope for it i'm affraid.
and yes mine was set up over 3 times by different dealers. out of the 4 ihad what i can remember was the basic plus and k9 to be the best of all

 

any have you compaired your lp12 to another deck at all?

 

i have heard the origin live lp12 is the best(never connected supply) but again how much difference can a power supply make. i tell you what it does make?
the manufactures wealthy i'm sure

 

here here!

 

back up at last well done we can realy have a talk now
