[QUOTE="goonchild, post: 358117, member: 14725"] Let's :sh1tstirrer: things up a little in this cosy Linn love-in. I have spoken to some people who deal with (and in) high-end audio equipment (VdHull, Rocksan, Graham, SME, Dynavector, EAR :blah: :blah: :blah: - you get the picture) and all have independently expressed to me the view that Linn's great success with its turntables is built on slick marketing and compliant audiophile media rather than on engineering prowess or great audio dynamics or reproduction. They are of the opinion that using suspension in TTs is misguided (and a slightly underhanded way of keeping Linn agents in work because every so often some unwitting Linn owner has to call one in to retune the suspension of an LP12 that's done no more than play records) and that the 'hype' put out about it verges on a 'con'. They cite the 'alleged' (knowing you lot, I have inserted this word for legal and health-and-safety reasons) aural and practical superiority of VPI, SME and Rocksan turntables, amongst others. As an owner of a suspended TT myself (not a Linn (un)fortunately), I'm curious to hear the thoughts of Linn-o-phile forumites - and of non-Linn-o-philes, too, of course. :whistler: [/QUOTE]
