Turntables

Very few good turntables inyour selection, except "sondek"
Linn LP 12.
In my opinion, you never ear a good Linn on a real system.

Her's a very good one: SOTA COSMOS

Hmmm...quite confuse

I'm sure it's not your last message, anyway!

First , i NEVER read reviews, i hate it, especially here in France, they are corrupted, they only review bad devices and brands, and they never give good advices.
All i know comes from an audiophile who learn me all.

Second, i don't put all my money in granit, when i'll put the pics on the site, you'll see i put concrete pieces on my speakers and my sub (7 kg on each speaker and 100 kg on the sub).
I have a very very tight budget system.
I go to the best with the few money i have.

But of course, i'm waiting to have extra money to buy granit pieces which are much more nicer aesthetically.

I just dream on very musical gear, i think english are the best for budget musical devices , btw it's curious you don't like Rega planar 3, which embodies the perfect little product which works. Like Linn LP12, which is an absolute reference in its category. Like Qed cables, Nad and rotel integrated amps and cd players, etc...

See you soon, my darling, and keep that britannic phlegm that fits you so well...

Actually, Pink triangle is very good, and is Linn's concurrent.
The Anniversary SE model is very good.
The pb with Linn is its suspension system which required
the turntable to be on a very stable support and often a good canceller vib system.
If not, it doesn't works at all.

On another hand, Roksan is really average and REALLY BELOW REGA 3!!!!!

Hang on... why's it called Pink Triangle..?

Ha ha!

i admit that Pink triangle is very good but Roksan is very average...

Linn LP 12 smokes this!!
But as i explain above, YOU NEED TO PUT IT WELL IN ORDER IT WORKS; ITS NOT AS SIMPLE TO PUT IT ON A POOR FURNITURE AND PLUG IT. IT DESERVES MORE!

have you seen the nakamichi tape decks?

There are even better

There was certainly no love lost between Ivor Tiefenbrun and Arthur Khoubesserian of Pink Triangle! I never heard the Pink Link but I bet it drove Ivor mad. I suspect it was done partly as a piss take and partly to demonstrate the fairly obvious deficiencies of the LP12.

Linn wouldn't allow any dealer who sold their products to stock PT's stuff as well under pain of losing the Linn franchise. Were they scared of direct comparison?

I am one of very few who have heard a direct comparison since I inherited a Linn LP12 from my father and I bought a PT Anniversary for myself. The PT was MILES better - and I mean MILES!!! Switching from the Linn to the PT was like removing a curtain from in front of the speakers. Yet still the LInn gets rave reviews - God knows how. I wonder if the reviewers have actually listened to it.

Oliver, I had the Linn set up by the Sound Organisation in York - one of the top Linn dealers. If they can't make it sound right, it won't ever sound right. It didn't, even on their choice of support. The support was not the problem, it was the deck. The guy who did the demo (who has since left their employment) now admits that, although he pushed and praised the LP12 at the time, he didn't actually like the deck!

The PT had identical support and sounded SO superior.
