For the interested reader, fidelity-online has posted a review of the LP12 Klimax. An English translation can be selected on the page.
His statement: "Hopefully it has become clear that the Linn Sondek LP12 Klimax has emphatically impressed me in every respect."
Or this: "Even the reproduction of complex, large-scale orchestral works such as Arthur Honegger's Pacific 231 (Ansermet, L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Decca SXL 6065), which is considered by many to be the parade discipline of heavy masselaufwerke, succeeds par excellence on the jubilarian. Listening to this complex piece of music over a lower quality turntable, there is a danger that Pacific 231 will degenerate into a spectacular but seemingly incoherent din. Over the LP12, one can suddenly understand why there was a standing ovation from the audience and rave reviews from the critics at the 1924 premiere in Paris. Like a good conductor, he always keeps the overview, so that one can effortlessly follow both individual instruments and melodies and thus fully enjoy the coarse beauty of this symphonic movement."
