[QUOTE="croak, post: 219595, member: 361"] [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/290d10c8-80a3-01c2.jpg[/IMG] It is still an LP12 but maybe not a Linn.... That is a Funk Firm Vector Linnked LP12 with a Naim Aro. Actually sprayed original plinth with new top plate, sub chassis, dc motor and controller plus vector pulleys. Ultimately I think the Linn LP12 platter, bearing and solid kiln dried plinth are its strengths compared to many other similar 3 point suspended decks. It has the ability to pull music with lots of prat and pull you in and involve you like only a few other decks regardless of cost and construction do. This ability makes the LP12 what is is and why it has followers. Keep that ability and IMO it is still an lp12. Loose it and who knows what you have. Many of the mods by Linn and others improve by lowering noise floor and losses. Some manage to do this while keeping the good, some don't. Making turntables that sing is more then adding mass and ever closer machining tolerances. There is some good innovation out there but plenty stuff that does not work too. Especially when you clone half a concept not fully understanding the originals workings. [/QUOTE]
