Re: Streaming service
Spotify sounds better than Apple Music, even though the latter streams lossless. Quite a bit better, actually. I agree that Airpods Pro Max are pretty good! I just acquired a pair of Airpods Pro Max as a gift and had a play with the Headphone Accomodations settings and prefer the stock settings so ...

Glad to have finally gotten this reissue at a reasonable price and not at 45RPM!

Re: Karousel installation warning
I meant an official Linn setup guide. That thread put me off the whole idea of getting a Karousel.Hermann wrote: ↑2024-01-09 11:34 Some of this is probably posted in other threads, but you can find some information here

Re: Wall Shelf For Linn LP12 Turntable With Trampolin?
I preferred to use a Baltic birch backer board when mounting to my 16 inch on center 2 x 6 inch framed exterior wall. You can still see the Fischer fixings that were used when I had an Audiotech wall shelf mounted in the same location. The turntable is now in my basement sitting on a poured concrete...

Re: Wall Shelf For Linn LP12 Turntable With Trampolin?
No mention of Mana, but it is a very nice wall mount. John Watson was never a fan of the Trampolin but there’s no reason it wouldn’t work though you’re better off without it IMO.

Spotify Usage
I recon there’s a fair share of Spotify users on this forum and this is the time of year where Spotify emails your year-end review. I’m curious how I compare with others regarding listening minutes. I’m at 20,054 and it said I listen mainly to entire albums.

Re: More on source first and other priorities
I’m hoping to experience a source-first improvement to all the systems in my home as there is a project in my 35 year old sub-division to replace all the buried 12,000 volt cables that interconnect all the pad transformers throughout the neighborhood.

Re: Is there a “best” test track?
If doing A/B comparisons, I’d rather use a song I’m not too familiar with otherwise it’s too easy to fill in the missing bits because you’re so familiar with the piece.

Re: LP12 50: If Jony Ive made record players...
I agree about having separate recordings for hi-fidelity listening vs. listening when there is a higher ambient noise level like when listening in automobiles.
I enjoy my Spotify listening with Audio Normalization disabled when listening on my hi-fi system.

Happy more of these were made. Been waiting a long time. Nice package and worth having on vinyl.

Re: 50th Anniversary LP12
Here’s a bit from Linn’s website regarding the new plinth: “The sonic improvement comes by way of Linn’s all-new Bedrok™ plinth technology; formed of orthogonal layers of beech placed under extreme pressure to create an entirely new, solid and massive material. The consequent ultra-dense wood has ne...

Re: 50th Anniversary LP12
Perhaps it’s just me, but I don’t think the rounded power button, top plate and armboard look good on the LP12. The plinth looks interesting, though. The look differentiates it from any other LP12 and adds to making it a truly limited edition. I’m interested in seeing how the inside of the plinth i...

Re: LP12 Bounce
I believe there is an ideal distance between the center of the motor pulley and the center of the record spindle that minimizes lateral motion. I think having precisely made top plate studs for the springs and a one piece subchassis like a Keel makes it easier to get there setup-wise.

Re: Record player for daughter
I bought a 1990’s vintage Rega Planar 2 with the green logo and markings on the counter weight for my daughter. Made the most sense to me at the time. Sitting in storage now.

Re: The Poll Winners: Exploring The Scene!
I’m a big fan of Jazz music, but this one I’d pass on. It’s a snooze fest. Thanks for your feedback John. What sort of jazz are you into? And do you have any recommendations? I’m constantly on the lookout for new great music 🙂 I mostly like jazz from 1956-62. These are all pretty good: Benny Carter...
