Re: Karousel
Heard the Karousel for the 1st time this morning. Set up by ThomasOK. Not musical.
Advice to Linn. Please go back to the Cirkus and re-engineer a Cirkus bearing to mimic the origins of the LP12 sound. You have two markets. The original musicality market and the later Linn market. Provide a new bearing choice please. I desire the original Linn sound. You can do this Linn!

Re: Karousel
My friend and me had the same experience, we both have 80s/early 90s systems like you -black liner bearing, recapped Lingo I, Ekos I & newly rebuilt Troika by Goldring- and we did not have a positive Karousel experience. ...We even makeshift mounted the Karousel bearing into the pre-Cirkus subchassis -we absolutely had to try this- thinking that would be the trick, and while it may have been slightly more in tune it was still disappointing and all was reverted back and joy restored.Charlie1 wrote: ↑2020-10-08 11:00 The Karousel just didn't work out for me in the end. It wasn't helped by lack of synergy with my late 80s/early 90s system but, even so, I don't think it was ever gonna be my cup of tea. PM me if anyone is interested in buying it.
The deck has now been fitted with a black liner bearing and serviced Lingo 1 which I'm really enjoying a lot.

Re: Karousel
It seems the Karousel bearing is designed more for aluminium sub chasis. For me, Karousel bearing with Kore is an improvement on the previous Cirkus bearing. But I have kept my Cirkus bearing in case Karousel deteriorates over time...We even makeshift mounted the Karousel bearing into the pre-Cirkus subchassis

But at least you gave it a go and can now relax and enjoy what you have.tpetsch wrote: ↑2020-10-10 23:02 My friend and me had the same experience, we both have 80s/early 90s systems like you -black liner bearing, recapped Lingo I, Ekos I & newly rebuilt Troika by Goldring- and we did not have a positive Karousel experience. ...We even makeshift mounted the Karousel bearing into the pre-Cirkus subchassis -we absolutely had to try this- thinking that would be the trick, and while it may have been slightly more in tune it was still disappointing and all was reverted back and joy restored.

Re: Karousel
I get into the music much easier with A. Listening to B seems “cold” to me when comparing it to A.ThomasOK wrote: ↑2020-10-13 23:17 A

Re: Karousel
Nice to hear your system again Tom.
A for me too.

Re: Karousel
I tried not to make a snap decision: B raised my temperature more than A, which just didn't click for me... Actually it clicked a bit too much pushing the percussion forward, losing touch with the voice a little. I usually hear clips differently to beck and Charlie1 - not deliberately - so this result is to B expected.

What became of the JBL speakers Thomas? The thread on the JBLs is humorous. Did anyone other than Mattias and Music Lover keep them?

Re: Karousel
A for me! B is good but something sounds not totally correct in comparison.

Re: Karousel
Great music! Both are really engaging to my ears - I didn't want it to end.
'A' sounds a bit clearer but I would not choose one over the other.

Re: Karousel

Re: Karousel
A for me - big difference.
B does not sound good to my ears at all.

For me, "A" has a better bass (more in tune).

It is Karousel all the time. He is testing original Linn silvers against the new Linn silvers!
Actually I do not know. I am only guessing.........

...I'm guessing torque settings
Much more natural note delay on A

I prefer A.
One question, what’s the flashing thing in the right esl57? More prominent in clip A then B

Re: Karousel
It is the movement of the speaker panels you can detect through flashing light!

Both sound excellent.
