Oi Oi! LP12 serial 00091 has just turned up on the’Bay. Lack of back story suggests a deceased estate sale. Item number 126416868574

Don’t want to try it, but the torque is immense.

It was done decades ago by Philco, but the miniaturisation and refinement was relatively recent by DS Audio, a division of a computer company involved in the development of the optical mouse. Toshiba, Kenwood and a few others did them in the 1980s but different operating standards resulted in an...

It’s simpler than you think.

It’s a DS Audio 003.

Hi Mac!

Fab little things. I'd never be without a pair.

Cheers! Are we up and running again?

“Hamish” is simply the Scottish version of “James”.

Not sure about ‘wanting to bash Ivor’ per se, but his accounts of the genesis of the LP12 are various, varied and inconsistent. What do you think is the definitive story cre009?

Or the other account from Ivor that Jim Kerr of Kerr McCosh came up with the idea.

“Robertson Deck” 11

It also implies that the ‘eleventh’ revision wasn’t as good as the twelfth. Which is incorrect. The RD11 had actually been marketed by C & J Walker and sold before the LP12.

What does not add up though is since the first RD11 and first LP12 *is* without question, the same machine, why do we never hear Ivor saying “Yes, I designed the RD11. It was my idea”. If he has ever said that, I’ve not seen it. It would add a lot of credence to his story. Instead, he almost...

Ivor’s son is perpetually a subject for ridicule I think. He appears constantly clueless with no grasp of his subject, despite being an engineering graduate. Ivor in contrast dropped out of his degree in engineering, talked as though he was Isambard Kingdom Brunel, yet in reality was probably...

No.1 was Ariston RD11 No.1. It was offered to a friend of mine when he was looking for an LP12, but he failed to grasp its significance.

No.

The LVIII is superb, but the ARO works equally brilliantly, so do the AO Uniarm, TP Javelin and Moerch unipivots. A number of people report good results from Maywares. Just because Linn claim something 'works' and other systems don't appears to me to be another of their marketing red herrings...

This is exactly what an engineer friend of mine says too. He designs defence systems, so almost certainly *is* a Rocket Scientist!

Not me... but I think it was supposed to have been the pre-production prototype with the captive ball. Ariston RD11 SN 0000001 was a single-point.

Thousands. And even when they had proper Linn stickers printed up for the serial number they carried on using the remaining yellow ones until they ran out, then a matching sticker to the Linn one was used in place.

The Red Rocker and Red Button decks with the cut-off stickers are far more numerous than that. Well into the thousands. the deck Theophile posted would likely be around s/n 3000 with that power button.

Beaujolais? Mmmmm!
