Hi Guys! Well, like Thomas has stated, the noise disappeared. It run overnight, so that might helped. Today the belt arrived, and now I am listening to my upgraded LP12. I'm stunned. So much more details, details I've never heard before. Also, the background is much darker, pops and clicks are dimin...

I got my LP12 back. Unfortunately, bad luck stroke, my dealer forgot the belt in his shop. So, I'll be able to pronounce over the sound improvement only on Tuesday afternoon. One thing that I notice: When I turn on the motor(without the belt) if I put my ear close to the motor pulley, I could hear a...

This is a double edged sword. If this upgrade is a massive improvement in sound quality(as I read a lot), for sure, it will make me wonder how a Radikal would perform. So, I don't see your recommendation strange at all. Anyway, I'm planning to enjoy my "lingoed" Linn for a while. I can't wait to get...

Thank you Thomas! Now, with a little bit of luck, my dealer will bring my turntable back this week. I can't wait! Is a little bit premature to talk about new upgrades, but my intention would be to upgrade to Kore. It would be possible to have the Ekos SE installed if I have the Kore? Or it works onl...

I managed to discuss with my dealer. Sorry - my bad. You were right, Pedro. Those standoffs are the old ones.
So, the new Lingo came with two plastic ones, two metallic. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll get it back and report then how I feel about this upgrade.
Thanks and sorry 4 all this mess.

Hello Pedro, My Lingo was ordered few months back - November 2021 and in December 2021, the package arrived to my dealer's shop. I have some photos which confirms so. What really annoys me, is the fact that there's need for another order to get the good plastic standoffs. And I bet my dealer doesn't...

Pedro,

I understand that. But why there's need for a new order, since they acknowledged this issue? It would be much easier to pack them in the lingo's package.

Pedro - Thank you very much for your kind reply. Goddamit! This lingo 4 was ordered in December 2021. So is a new one. Why would someone has to order new standoffs since they(Linn) realized that there's an issue with the old metallic ones? Now it's a little bit late, my dealer will bring back my tur...

Hi guys, Finally my Linn is upgraded to Lingo 4. Unfortunately, it was impossible for me to assist to the installing process. With a little bit of luck, I might get it back by the end of the week. Now, there's one thing that bugs me. I read(don't remember where exactly - possible here) that Linn ack...

Don't mean to hijack this thread but a related question for Tom: Linn initially changed two of the four metal standoffs on the Lingo 4 for nylon. Is this still the case or have they now replaced all four metal standoffs with nylon? Two are nylon and two are metal. But all 4 are also 2mm shorter tha...

Thank you guys! For sure, I will keep you informed once I'll have it installed. My dealer claims that the biggest improvement would have been to update the cartridge, namely a moving coil - Krystal. But I had second thoughts and I opted for a Lingo 4. And I have in mind (maybe next year) a Kore and...

Hi guys, Time for upgrade. I ordered a new Lingo 4 for my LP12 - Majik specs. I will have it installed, most likely, in the middle of January. From what I've read, the sound quality improvement will be massive. Now I'm using the stock source - Majik. Can you please elaborate? What kind of improvemen...

Guys, As I'm painting the walls of my listening room, I had to move my system in the bedroom. Is like I bought a brand new system and I couldn't help myself and just smile uncontrollably. I have no acoustic treatment in my bedroom, but since it is more crowded, I don't have (as much) echo as I have ...

Guys, I mounted my adikt cart on my Rega tt. Nothing, the same old sound as with Carbon cart. Now, my ears are broken or my amplifier is not able to produce a different sound? I will try to borrow an amplifier and see what will happen. Or option 3, you have a defective Adikt. I have mounted a numbe...

Guys, I mounted my adikt cart on my Rega tt. Nothing, the same old sound as with Carbon cart. Now, my ears are broken or my amplifier is not able to produce a different sound? I will try to borrow an amplifier and see what will happen. There should be a pretty big difference between the Carbon and ...

Guys,

Hi Paul,

https://www.hifiracks.co.uk/collections ... 6396103742

In november 2019 I had a Rega Exact cart mounted on my Rega Planar 3, and indeed the difference in sound quality was huge.(Having as a reference Rega Carbon cart). January 2021, I bought my LP12. So basically there's more than one year time gap between the two. Unfortunately I do not have the Exact ...

It's certainly possible, that the Revox holds the performance of your LP12 back. In your shoes I would definitely try to borrow a more musical amp, just to be sure. Is the bounce perfect on your LP12? Having multiple videos on youtube as a reference, I would say that pretty much the bounce is perfe...

Guys, For sure I don't want to raise flames or provoke hard feelings. Just assuming that my lp12 is perfectly set, it is possible that my rather old Revox B250 to "strangulate" the musical performance? Borrowing an amplifier shouldn't be much of an hassle. The dealer assures me and he swears that my...

Hello BSilviuLu, You are obviously not happy with your LP12. Unfortunately I do not think you can salvage this situation. There will always be a nagging feeling that something is wrong and/or suboptimal hurting your musical enjoyment. Return the turntable if you can or sell it. Buy som records inst...

Sorry to read about your problems. I would first check whether the Revox B 250 is set to the correct mains voltage. The manufacturer prescribes this, by the way. If it is set to 220V, that is definitely wrong. Internally, it should be set to 240V, as the higher voltage (230V) applies throughout Eur...

The main issue is that I live in Romania, so there's only one Linn dealer in the whole country. Now, the first thing that I wish to do is to try another amplifier. My Revox B250 is quite old and some capacitors for sure are not working in their original range. I have no idea how much these capacitor...

Hi there, Thanks so much for your message. Indeed, my experience wasn't nice at all. The turntable was set in his shop and then he personally has brought it to me. The thing is we didn't make a clinical audition. He just tested the bouncing, and the stylus tracking force. I would say that it was pro...
