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

another anti linn man aye? we should start an anti linn fan club my friend

 

i am more than happy with my arm thankyou and will never change it i have had it for 8 wonderful years, you have to know when to stop pushing for the best all the time.
and mine is the gold plated version and looks soooooo good on the gyro. i find it a revelation everytime i hear it now if you can say that about a product then you have hit the jackpot

 

I auditioned the SY series 7 - but the Brinkmann Lagrange beat it. The SY was 2nd choice. My friend has a SY S8 with custom one-off psu.

I have heard the spectral amps - not bad. As ypu say - a good tight sound. Check out a second hand bryston - a 4bst costs around £1200 used and wil show the spectral a clean pair of heels IMHO. Will keep an eye out for lavardin!

The sme 5 is one of the best - it can be beaten though, just at a price. Linn were ok in their day but that day is now 30 years ago.

 

here here at last someone who aggrees with me horay horay
what deck, arm ,cartridge do you use my friend?

 

I use the Brinkmann lagrange with 10.5 Tonearm and EMT cartridge. Feeding a custom diy phono stage and volume control. Speakers are PMC MB2s triamped with a bryston 4b-st and 7b-st per channel. 1.2 kW into 92 db/Wm speakers.

<laughs like a maniac>

 

sounds impressive a bit over my head though. what do you think of sacd. and do you think vinyl is still the ultimate for quality. i find sacd to clinical for my liking

 

i have heard a lot of linn gear over the years and NONE of it impressed me at all. a 20k system once in the audiofile in bishops stortford and it was so dead sounding it was awefull

 

what do you think of the roksan xerxes?

 

I havent heard sacd or dvd-a - though I have a player that will play them. I dont like cd much. I can only stand it through a very few dacs like PT de capo or chord dac 64.

 

Its ok - better than linn.

 

you talk a lot of sense my friend i have a £1000 arcam cd player and it is terible compaired to my vinyl. and i love playing with a record deck far more involving than opening a draw.
i think a lot of pepole on this site trying to persue that golden sound will never get there with cd. that is my opinion anyway. sacd by the way is awefull. so clinical it is just a white elephant to me

 

From what I have seen of the theory behind sacd I would agree with you.

 

i had one years ago it is so bright sounding it used to fry my ears everytime i played it. what are these maniacs doing buying an lp 12 , they put lingos on them ekos' they are just flogging a dead horse, the lp just makes a noise and that is it no tming or cohesion at all, dredfull deck dreadfull

 

planner 3 will eat ANY lp 12 easily

 

sacd is like cd only 3 times more noise. it just forces the sound upon you ,where vinyl lays it all out for you to enjoy

 

we must talk later my friend you are on my wave lenght, we must convince these pepole that vinyl is still the best by far. got to take the missus to work bye for now.

 

i will say a planner 3 will eat MOST cd players

 

Yes a lingo is just a psu upgrade - nothing magical. Alternatives exist for a fraction of the price. Ridiculous that they are still using ac anyway.

A market exists and linn are going to flog it.

 

This sounds somewhat reminiscent of "mikeoxsmall",a user recently banned from another forum,whose kit list is also similar to yours,as is his general rhetoric regarding all things Linn.

 

It could be any number of people - it is after all an accurate description ;-)
