I’m a big fan of Jazz music, but this one I’d pass on. It’s a snooze fest.

I’d rather see my kids enjoying a wider range of music via a nice streaming system.

In the last couple of days I found intelligibility has improved and easier to follow bass notes .I thought it was all my tinkering then same improvements on my phone on way to work.Damn ! Anyone else experienced this ? Did you recently disable the data saver setting? Hi John, Hmm,I don't think so,b...

Did you recently disable the data saver setting?

.. see how the belt drops down on the pulley at startup... Interesting - I don't see as much suspension movement as I do vertical movement of the belt on the motor pulley... Or am I seeing it wrong :? I focused on the pulley with the camera and seeing that movement is easier. The belt movement does...

Here’s a LP12 startup video I made with the outer platter upside down. You can see how the belt drops down on the pulley at startup setting the suspension in motion. It takes a few moments for the suspension to settle down and the belt to align on the pulley and sub platter. https://youtu.be/53bkqJP...

Rega P8 territory in price. Looks like it has a Rega tonearm. Would be interesting to see the innards. Looks like an expensive Axis in design.

Find someone to rebuild it.

Tom mentioned earlier that Linn will be at the Axpona show in April and might reveal there.

When will we find out about any LP12 upgrades for the 50th Anniversary?

I’m disappointed they’re no longer making videos. I think their original intent was to make 25 videos covering many aspects of the LP12. Does anyone know what shop the gentleman was from? The video on the motor was most informative IMO.

Given Linn Helpline's suggestion, would a dampened Mr Clean Magic Eraser be worth a try? I don't know if that's less or more aggressive on a lacquered surface... I can see how Brasso could be detrimental if used too often and with too much pressure, but I'd say it's a deficiency if that surface can...

I went at the subplatter this morning with 17 more Q-tips and Brasso followed up with IPA to make sure I got any leftover Brasso residue. Here’s the result which I’m pretty satisfied with as far as cleanliness goes. It was much worse before I began the cleaning process last week. The subplatter look...

This is not my subchassis but this shows a used Cirkus subchassis. I would assume the condition of this one is typical for a subchassis that’s been used for several years. I doubt water and a clean cloth is going to remove the belt grit that has accumulated over the years. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/...

With anything other and water and a cloth, time alone will tell of any damage done..... It’s too bad it’s not cleanable like the pulley, Cleaning the pulley alone made a significant improvement. Cleaning the subplatter a few days later also made a significant improvement and I can’t recall when my ...

Here’s a bit more from the Linn Helpline: “The inner platter/sub-platter is also lacquered in the same way as the LP12 outer platter and as such there is no recommended fluids to clean this surface area, as it will likely remove the lacquer and/or cause discolouration marks. If your inner platter/su...

Always wanted a copy on vinyl. I couldn’t resist the reduced price on 2 x LP @ 45RPM. Is it much better than cd/digital? Haven’t received it yet. The album sounds stunning on Spotify. I seldom compare the two but being such a rare album in LP format, I couldn’t resist. I’d be equally happy to get a...

I’m seeking out ideas on cleaning the sub platter on an LP12 where the belt makes contact. I know Brasso is not intended for metal that has a lacquer finish so that out. I’ve always used isopropyl alcohol but seeing how much better Brasso did on the pulley, I’m wondering if there’s a cleaner that m...

Wow, that must have been one filthy inner platter!!! It’s a Cirkus inner platter so probably has 20 years on it. I used IPA to clean it and the pulley in the past but I’m not convinced using IPA is effective, Given the importance of the drive system, keeping it and the belt clean definitely pays of...

Do you have a link to the setup manual you’re referring to?

After viewing a video of a new subchassis being placed on a new LP12 and seeing how shiny it was, I decided to throw caution to the wind and commence on attacking the subplatter of my LP12. Equipped with latex gloves, a box of Q-tips and a bottle of Brasso I started the process this morning. What I ...

Ah I wondered about that. Any idea which was which? The one that seemed to adjust the 33 1/3 speed sensitively was the one further from the centre of the turntable. Facing the front of the turntable, the one on the left was 33, the one on the right 45. Thanks. That makes sense then, as I fine tuned...

Interesting my understanding was one pot was for 33, the other for 45. I saw markings on the circuit that indicated which was which. Ah I wondered about that. Any idea which was which?
