linn

I just recently acquired this linn wakonda /LK85 power amp and helix 150 speakers. Information is abit sparse on linn products so that's why I'm asking. Question is how do you know if it's been upgraded Or if it's running activ boards. It's looks like it came with the mm phono option but there...

My Current set up is Michi x3 B&W 705s Linn Sondek with Akito Arm Ortofon 2m bronze Looking for recommendations for a phono preamp (really disapointed in the michi phono stage). Not sold on tubes, but might warm the system up a little. The michi is very neutral. Also looking for advice for...

So I have a Linn LP12 here with what I believe is a bad motor (the supply outputs the correct adjustable voltage). The motor in the unit is labeled 50-60HZ 250-300RPM. What I am trying to figure out is if it's just a 50Hz motor with a different sized pulley or not. This unit appears to have an...

I picked up this rather nice RD11s recently with a Mayware arm and Audio Technica at13ea cartridge. I am lovingly restoring it, although it came in decent condition overall and just needs a bit of TLC and to set up the arm (which is a bit of work). It's all going well, but last night I powered...

Hello People, hope everyone is in good health during these times, I am currently running a Linn Sondek with a linn Basik lvx arm, I am pleased with the general performance but the weak points happen to be the baseboard and more importantly the tonearm cable which appears to be a factory standard...

Tread moved for exposure, sorry ;)

New to me are a Linn LK1 and a Linn LK140. I just started playing records on the setup this weekend. AR XA with MM (Shure M91ED, w/new JICO), stock arm. LK1 has MM and MC phono stages. On MM, sounds beautiful, but one or twice per side, in the middle of a track, the LK140 will shut off. I know...

Hi there First post here so please be gentle!! In your opinion would the MC phono section of a Linn Wakonda preamp be better or worse than a Trichord Dino 3 phono stage (unmodified). Thanks in advance..

Hey folks, I purchased a Linn Axis with Basic Plus arm but it is totally messed up. I didn't expect that someone was able to mess this TT to that level. Except that TT is turning on, platter switches and spins (at 32.45rpm and 44.25rpm) everything else was broken. Here is my assessment at...

Hi, I have an 80s(?) UK Linn Axis turntable that I run at 220V so I run it on a step-down transformer that I bought from a UK friend. I use it with a '60s McIntosh MC-20 and 240 and '70s JBL L-100s and have owned it for about 12 years with no issues. I play mostly rock and jazz music on it...

i'm working with my most resolving system to date: exposure 2010 integrated + linn kan mk1 + energy xl-s8 SO it's time to start working on source equipment, firstly, my stylus. i'm planning to keep the dual 1242 and just upgrade the stylus (currently using an Audio Technica ATPN2) unless i...

Picked these up for a good price, but having trouble figuring out what model (Mark 1 thru 5) they are. Thanks

Long time lurker here who’s looking for some guidance. I’ve got the opportunity to pick up a Linn Basik with a Basik Plus Tonearm and original Sumiko Blue Point cart (with the p-mount adapter). The cost would be $425. The table is in great shape. Apparently it was owned by an audiophile who...

Hey everybody! I'm really excited and pretty out of my depth to be learning about vintage audio gear, so some assistance would be awesome. I found a pair of big speakers on kerbside collection that I love - all I could find out about them is: They were probably made in Melbourne Australia by...

Ok, so I'm likely getting my Ariston RD110 SL back soon with a Fidelity Research FR-24 Mk2 tonearm fitted after a full professional set up and service. I'm very much looking forward to hearing it for the first time. While I did know that many parts in this table were interchangeable with a...

Hey guys, I'm picking up an Arison RD110 SL without tonearm tomorrow night and wanted to get some advice on which (inexpensive) tonearm would work well on it for using a Grado Reference Platinum 1 and Denon DL103 cartridges. From what little I've been able to find on Ariston turntables many...

Hi all, been a lurker and researcher for a few months as I embark on a restoration of a poor particularly abused Thorens that came out of a church basement. Thinking of updating the TD-16 Mk1 tonearm with a Linn Akito Mk1 but already have a Pickering XSV cart I'd like to use with the Linn. So...

I will admit I am fairly week in the TT department but there are two things that I am curious about that will be easy to clear up..... 1....Why do all my vintage receivers have two phono inputs? Is this for dj purposes or is there some advantage to having two plugged in at home. 2...I sourced...

Can the Rega Exact 2 cartridge be used on the Pioneer PL-630?Basically I'm asking if it sounds ok or are there proprietary carts? I have been searching for info on this but cannot find anywhere on the web where someone has used the Exact 2 on any other table than the Rega.
