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

Afromosia, haha.

FWIW, I agree that the Ekos seems only a tiny step forward from the Ittok, but I never did a proper A-B demo, so I could be wrong about that. I've never heard the Ekos sounding as good as the Aro, but that's just an impression, again, no A-B.

 

The motor is not below the platter - the rubber band driver shows this - and its not under the cartridge either. Diagonally opposite, in fact, when the cartrige is in use. No motor noise discernable by me.

they say the aro is aperfect match for the lp12. how do you cope with no lift lower mechanism. 1.2k cartridge you are brave my friend

 

I have steady hands.

Bub - In all fairness how many decks have you heard. Now linns are different but I have heard the modern top spec. I also beleive the limitations come from its fundamental construction so exact tweaks or differences dont alter these issues.

Mike - tot up what you have spent incrementally. You could have tratdd in early on then upgraded another deck. I dont doubt the upgrades improved matters you might perhaps have got more improvement for the same money down a different path. Did you listen to any other decks when you bought the first iteration?

 

And nerves of steel.

 

I dare not....its been done over about 15 years or so.

Dual CS505....

 

you must have. affromsia is nice aswell. i had 2 black ones, not as nice as real wood.
have you seen the nice upgraded plinths available on e-bay. they look realy good and has a nice base board aswell

 

dual 505 what a bass riden deck aye?

 

I dont miss it...

 

my friend who deals in high end gear rekons we should all buy the alphason sonata symphonies

 

i had a dual in 1986 , my first real deck

 

i don't miss it either. god could that sound boomy.

 

I'll tell you who the most loyal breed are, and that's Guzzi Owners.

I'm sure we can get the world's longest thread award

 

Exactly... a small bit here and there adds up to the cost of a rockport in 15 years thats how linn appear to work. what is it worth? less than a grand?

well a dual is hardly a fair comparison. I assume you are teasing me ;P

 

have you ridden a modern jap bike leonard?
i now have a 600 hornet ,but had an r1 before we moved abroad

 

did you ever have a dual nick?

 

You would be surprised how much those linn upgrades add up to over the decades!

Seriously the cheaper rockports were much less ;-)
