Back home from vacation last Saturday away from the hi-fi for two weeks. Immediately powered up the amps which were unplugged while away. The Lingo was retrieved Sunday afternoon after being re-capped while away. Plugged it in to make sure it was working and checked the speed to make sure all was we...

Thomas was very generous with his time, I believe I was at the shop for 5 hours or so. I had a very nice visit and was able to listen to tune dems demonstrating changes of one or two notches in either direction to the torque of the Ekos arm height bolt and the effect was pretty apparent when it was ...

Hello All, Been away on vacation and returned a few days ago. One highlight was a visit to Overture Audio to see Thomas and find out more about how he uses the torque tool to setup LP12's. Upon my return I had also received my package from MRO tools including the necessary bits to pair up with the S...

But when loosening, the torque required isn't always the same as the one you tightened it with. Try it and you will see what I mean. I received the tool today but am still waiting on the required bits to work on the LP12. I do have standard screwdriver bits that fit the tool and did find that less ...

Charlie, Thanks, good suggestion. I'd be interested in finding out how far off optimum settings are among those who compare torque settings. Is there a significant variance among the different CAL 36/4 tools out there. I'm not an engineer so I'm not sure what a +/-6% variance equates to for somethin...

Thanks for the info. I look forward to getting the tool and making adjustments to the majority of my torque settings. I will likely start out with the recommendations of all the torques applicable to my deck and then live with them for awhile before tweaking on them unless they seem way off for my p...

OK, I think I get it. There's no way you can use the tool to identify the current torque of a nut because it always clicks when the torque is exceeded and there is no way to tell if additional torque was applied by feel. Oh well scrap that idea. I would assume you have written down the precise final...

Here is a link to the owner's manual.

So I will start with a low torque and gradually increase the torque until I hear an audible click. That will then be very close to my hand tightened torque. That should work I would think.

That's not good if that's the case. Why is that? Do you have to always start with a loose nut when using a torque screwdriver? No, you can gradually tighten a nut, with higher and higher torque. I find that procedure to be exact and repeatable. But when loosening, the torque required isn't always t...

The (L) stands for settings I found that were attributed to Lejonklou Ok! You wrote (F) in the first post, however. Oops! Correction made to OP. Regarding testing current torque settings, I'm hoping to start with a low torque setting, attempt to "tighten" the nut, if it doesn't, then incrementally ...

I'm a bit surprised that the torque setting of the Klyde is so much less than that of the Akiva. I rotate between an Asaka, Klyde and currently use a Troika. It will be interesting to see where I'm at torque wise with how it's currently setup. Yes, it's really low isn't it and I felt just on the cu...

Looking forward to giving this a go. The (L) stands for settings I found that were attributed to Lejonklou, please forgive me if they were misquoted. Please correct them or update them if you find them incorrect. I thought I read somewhere that you found used CAL 36/4 tools to be pretty consistent a...

I have a CAL 36/4 on the way along with 2, 3, 4mm Allen and 5.5 and 8mm deep sockets so will get to reset and check how much different my handset deck is from the above torque settings. I have never used a torque tool before so I suppose there will be a learning curve to get familiar with how it wor...

Deleted in deference to Thomas, Frederik and others.

Any more experiences regarding the Khan? Anyone in sweden? I'm in the US and recently fitted a Khan to my modest LP12 and I'm very happy with the results. I purchased mine based on the majority of positive comments on the Linn forum and the fact that I could sell it on if it failed to deliver the g...

Interesting, Sammy. I know that others have reported success when moving the Lingo away from a single power strip (distribution board) that powers the rest of the system. It didn't work for me when I last tried it, but I'm not ruling out that it can sometimes work. I have a dedicated circuit for my...

Sure about that? Looks like a Radikal and Sole to me, you posted them.

Has anyone listened to the sub-chassis namned Sole from Analogue Innovation? http://www.analogueinnovation.com/index.htm Prices are not too high for 80% of what a Keel does. I'm obviously a competitor to the sole but who claims it's 80% of a Keel? If it is then I might as well shut up shop. Andrew,...

Where has Sondek gone? I admit I'm not hearing wow from my LP12 nor agree with his assessment that most decks outperform the LP12 in the tune-dem. I believe I'm listening for different things when judging a hifi. I've spent a few years doing tune dems for folks so I think I have a handle on it.
