Re: Opinion LINN LINGO1 v, LINN LINGO 2,3

I've Got an old Linn Lp 12 equipped with Lingo1 . Someone advised me to buy the Linn Lingo 2 or 3 . Are the differences audible when changing the Lingo 1 model for a more updated one ? Had a Majik then L1 then L3, each were meaningful upgrades. Heard L3 back to back with L4 on otherwise identical d...

Re: Utopik upgrade

I'd be rather shocked if the Utopik didn't come out for the Radikal, indeed I'm surprised it hasn't already since it is one of the smaller power supplies. Dynamik certainly made a substantial upgrade to the musical performance of the Radikal so it is to be expected the Utopik will too. But I would ...

Thanks, Thomas. Is this the Quadraspire you're referring to? https://quadraspire.co.uk/wall-brackets/ Do you have access to second examples of your preferred shelves ? if not, how far into 2024 will the wait be for your recreation and what's the approximate price point?

Another excellent video from Ripcaster.

Excellent details on the upgrade for all currently supported units.

That’s so funny.

Actually, Martin guitars still use hide glue on some of their ‘Authentic Series’ and ‘Modern Deluxe’’ range.

Re: LP12 50: If Jony Ive made record players...

But it's supposed to be a no-compromise premium product, and certainly has a correspondingly high price tag. It's also gone up in cost over 60% since I bought mine in 2007. They also mill the aluminium in house whereas not sure that was the case originally. I appreciate manufacturing costs have gon...

Re: LP12 50: If Jony Ive made record players...

I don't understand why they would do this... Cost savings, they need a much slimmer piece of alumunium and need only one basic Keel for different tonearms. I think that could be correct. The limited run of curvy Keels could be capable of being adapted for other ‘arms (Aro etc) by changing the colla...

Situation is different with the 50 LP12 The buyer has first to complete an-line form via a dealer.

Re: Linn KDSM/1 upgraded to organik,what to do with the old p.c.b

AFAIK, when a new board is allocated to a DS or DSM etc, the board serial number is recorded and electronically checked for validity when the device is powered up. In the situation of a Renew the original board is allocated as a valid Re ds board and is permitted to be used asa Renew. In the situati...

Re: Rick Beato

As an acoustic and electric guitarist, I like his informative videos for their straightforward explanations.

He also takes the time to go into some interesting chord extensions and creative riffs.

Great for musicians to grab and apply to give sometimes familiar music with a nice musical twist.

Re: Tundra Mono 3

Applies to many things in life. For example, playing guitar I try to avoid too much repetition on particular techniques; you reach a peak on the best it will be that day, Further repetition drives down performance. Pick it up the next few days and the benefit is felt by the absorbing of the previous...

There were rumours going around that Linn were about to introduce new equipment at this show but have heard nothing.

Anyone clued up?
