Sir, you have single handedly made me reconsider the decision I had made to never purchase a Linn Sondek LP12 again. My story. I bought an '83 LP12 from a friend who worked at a store that sold them in Sarasota, FL and abruptly closed in 1984. That's a story fit for an espionage novel for another day. He was not involved in the intrigue that surrounded that store and I acquired it from him in 1992. A new store emerged in Tampa, FL just 2 hours to my north. The owner became my "rock" to keep my LP12 running at its full potential; that is until the day came when he stopped caring. (He is no longer in business). It is my understanding that this was not an uncommon phenomenon among Linn Dealers around 2,000. The decline of the LP and lack of support from the parent company led many a faithful Linn Dealer to lose the fire and after spending $2,800 in upgrades (Cirkus, Lingo, Trampolin, new arm board for my Ittok, Adickt cartridge, etc,) well, let's just say I got home and felt like I had been had. I kept the Linn sounding less than stellar until we moved to Tennessee in 2015 and a "shade tree" audio store in Kingsport, conditioned that I purchase a Rega Elys 2, took my Linn completely apart for $100 (they did not have the Jig or Rig or whatever it is called) but took three weeks to disassemble my 'table and reassemble it (the tech, although unfamiliar with Linn's in particular was a bit of a genius and studied the 'table and restored it to its former glory). Here's my current dilemma. That store is out of business and the nearest Linn Dealer is in Atlanta, a four-hour drive. We have had several discussions as to the best course forward; sell my current Linn and start afresh with the Majik, or keep the old goose going. But he is four hours away! But your brilliant video has a least shown me the care that has gone into this deck and my only sorrow is I don't have someone like you near me. 1 hour would be fine! End of story. I would love to give my two cents worth to Mr. Tiefenbrun!

I had a ssd cache drive that failed and the 2 drives I have in raid 1 are ok but Qnap will not read the array now. If I have Linux on my PC (thats what I use), can I just mount one of the drive in disks section and find my files?

Two quality network switches with SFP ports will do the same for $200. - get a 48 port Switch and space out your cables 300mm instead of 30mm - use one network switch for your home network and connect your switch (dedicated for audio) to the main switch with FIBER Also, a quality multi-rail power supply you can not fit in this small box.

Brilliant, thank you so much for doing this set-up guide, really interesting. I've wanted an LP12 for about 40 years and thought of buying a second hand one from the 80s. Having seen this though and how much they've improved, but still looking the same, you've changed my mind and think I'll be buying a new one. I'll pop to your showroom to look at finishes.

Starts at over $5,000 USD. I don't have a problem with the price but I don't understand why they can't figure out a way to have them as a competed assembly ready to ship like most turntables. I understand it has that spring suspension but why not have a way to lock it for shipment?

All this will be happening at my house soon. My question is how does one level the speakers? I can see side to side leveling being done by placing a beam level across the two front feet of the base. However, front to back leveling seems more challenging. How do you do it?

Does an airplane built last year outperform an airplane built 30, 40 or 50 years ago? Progress.

This is by far the most informative , simplest explanation with a great overview and detailed explanation of the options of modules and systems. Really am impressed. I’m seriously considering a Linn Selekt My speakers are Beolab 5 mkII is it ok to call or email yourself with a couple of queries I have thanks ?

In the background I see amazing speakers Audiovector Avangarde. In your opinion which speakers are better Audiovector or Linn? Thanks

not 1 owner of these things will ever turn it up loud anyway--- just a waste of money

And now we also need a scissor lift?

Ya know I thought I always wanted a Linn until right about when I saw the motor speed needs to be adjusted with two screws … that’s after I already reluctantly came to terms that we need to assemble this whole thing… this man has patience enough to work on a bomb disposal squad… I’m speechless…. So it’s up to the dealers to assemble this whole thing? Really?

The worst suspension design otherwise it’s a beautiful table.

Look beautiful, sound nice but continual adjustments just turn me off.

You have to hire a whole workshop to listen to music...!!!

You have to have a whole crew next to you to listen to music...!!! aThis is impossible..!!! Why would you give so much money...???!!!

Thank you this saved my data. I really appreciate the effort of making this Video

1:53 for the new Pendulum Integrated Amplifier!!

Brilliant video. Can I ask if I could use this as a transport only for my Dutch and Dutch 8C active speakers that have a DAC already built in ? Thanks

Im waiting on the price of the Kudos SIGAO drive and its release to dealers date. Any info anyone?

speakers are work of art. i already listened wilson audio top of the line model. a big disappointment only loud no imaging. garbage

Super coverage, thanks for the efforts ! Thumb up

Wow, looking forward to tomorrow. Went to motor world today. Staying close bye, but it’s all a bit quiet. I thought Munich would be lively, sadly not

works of art but the music for the deaf.

I’d love to hear them but not own them as 90% of those speakers and amps are ugly monstrosities.

Why on earth do hifi manufacturers exclude USB C input? It would make more sense to make a DAC that had ONLY a USB C input on the back than to make this without USB C. What would I want this product for? Plugging in an iPad. Do I want to add a CD player or anything else? No. Do I understand that other people do want to add other input units? Yes, of course. But no USB C? That is pure negligence

All the Rooms and products are so well presented and displayed

Very nice , short film

To quick brow with the screen shotts.pointless.

Any stand outs at the show you recommend??

Does it still work with the latest firmware

🙄🤤muuulm...

Can we retrieve the data from deleted volume and migrated from RAID 1 to RAID 5

Thanks for going into so much detail.

What a deal - not enough its a $$$$$ expensive table, now were expected to pay the seller a fee for assembling the dam thing.

Great video, thanks. Would you mind sharing how do you adjust the counterweight on the tonearm. Do you have to unlock it somehow or unscrew something?

Always love seeing Linn video’s. As a dealer, you should definitely do more of them. YouRube is short on Linn video for some reason. I had 3 LP12’s over the yesrs until I went 100% streaming. I always had the aformosia base but this new color is awesome!!

Enjoyed the video, really liked seeing the breakdown of what makes up the turntable. Thank you.

I love that colour. I didn’t realise that the dealer had to do the complete build, no wonder Linn love their dealers! I bought one as my retirement present last year and absolutely love it and my dealer came and installed it and took a couple of hours to listen to some of my music collection. That’s what I call customer service. I wish Linn would do an official budget 2 speed power supply similar to the Hercules as I don’t like the faffing about involved with the adapter. In fact I use a second deck a Linn Basik with my old Ittok and K9 for my 45’s. A third deck a new Rega P3 is used as well with Audio Technica’s AT610mono cartridge for my growing collection of 1960’s mono records. All wall mounted so that they all fit nicely together. Great video by the way.

I'm sure they sound amazing but the lack of protection for the drivers makes me uncomfortable. Would be interested to hear why they removed the grilles from previous designs.

I’ve got a Selekt Classic Hub connected to an Exaktbox I driving M140’s. There’s no sign of Organik for the Exaktbox-I or of Organik. I’m trying to decide whether to upgrade the power supply on the Hub or trade the Exaktbox as it seems to be a dead end and put amps and Organik in the Selekt.

I’ll never be able to afford them but it was an interesting watch. Sounded like you were drinking that Bru all the way through the first half of the video. The speeded up ending caused me to eat an entire plate of cheese on toast at double speed. I looked down and it was all gone.

Great video. Hoping to upgrade my Rega P6 later this year. A P10 is the obvious choice, but I think I'd love an LP12 more. Majik spec with Lingo perhaps?

Excellent instruction but too many gaps in my knowledge to handle out of band variables today. But a big thank you as I move nearer to understanding.

Brilliant video. Would like to see a similar video with a Klimax LP12 to see the comparison in engineering.

There are surely far better ways to throw your money away?

Very nice, I'd love an LP12 at some point.

Hi sorry I know this question has nothing to do with this particular video, but it sounds like you have a lot of knowledge regarding Linn amplifiers. My question is, can the speaker outputs on my Linn car amplifier be bridged (2 channels to 1 speaker) like a normal car sterio amplifier?
