Linn Basik with a stock OEM Linn arm.

Dust cover in fair shape (no cracks) and table is in good shape.

Don't know the year.

What is a reasonable price spread for these tables used, with a stock arm.

Less than pristine but not a beater.

Thanks,
Jim

FWIW:

I had a Basik with a Linn Akito arm. This table without extreme isolation will make you crazy. If you love pain, have at it. I would suggest strongly to choose something else. I would have a tough time taking another one of these tables even if it were free. There is a very good reason they called it "Basik".

I found owning this table was much like urinating up a rope. :nono: It was an extremely happy day for me when it left to a new home.

Best,

Paul

I appreciate your candor. I hate to admit it, but I find Peter's wife sexy (a god damned cartoon character, now that's sad).
Therefore, I appreciate your animation. :yes:

Would you take a Rega 25 over the Linn? I can have the Rega for the same money.

Regards,
Jim

Hello Jim:

I have never owned any model Rega TT...... Thus I cannot comment.
Wish I could help ya with that.

Best,

Paul
 
I thought the Basik was the arm, and often found on an Axis table. All depends on the price -- if its reasonable, it might be worth it for the arm alone. And as with all turntables, but especially those with rudimentary suspensions (which kind of includes Regas), where you place your table, what speakers you have, and how loud you listen will have a dramatic effect on how things sound.
You could do worse than picking up the table and dropping the arm in a Lenco, Rekokut or even a Kenwood KD 500.
 
I have a LINN BASIK with the Akito arm and can´t say I have had any problems with it. Sounds good and doesn´t suffer from any isolation issues. I have it setup at the moment on an old marble coffee table in my listening room which has solid stone walls and a 10" concrete floor.

As turntables go it´s , as the name says, basic.

What a great room for a TT. I would hope you have no isolation issues! :D

One of the many advantages of living in a 300 year old house :D

One of the others, which I was reminded of yesterday when the temp outside hit 40 degrees celsius, is that it stays nice and cool inside. Needless to say I spent most yesterday afternoon listening to LPs in the cool of my inner sanctum because it was to damn hot to do anything outside (well, anyway, that´s the excuse I gave to wife ).

Please send some of that fine Spanish mountainside sun to Massachusetts, USA. We can use it, and thanks!

Oops! It was supposed to be a link to a thread on another forum where people were talking about it, but I guess I didn't copy properly before pasting, so the stuff I'd copied before got pasted again. The OP can just google the model number and find it pretty easily.
