New Turntable - Linn LP12

When I first started buying vinyl 35 or so years ago, my first turntable was a Goodmans midi sized deck attached to a Denon Midi separates stack. I soon upgraded to a Pro-Ject Debut, then a Pro-Ject Xpression about 15 years ago. Ever since the early days I have dreamed of owning a Linn LP12, for a long time they have been one of the worlds best turntables. Due to a recent small, but not insignificant, windfall I have been able to finally achieve my goal, and took delivery of this a few days ago. I also treated myself to a new amp and speakers, and have spent the last few days doing pretty much nothing apart from listening to music, something I haven’t done in a long time, I’m hearing things I’d never previously noticed in recordings I thought I was very familiar with. I had a friend visit this morning and he genuinely said it felt like the singer was standing in front of him.

For anyone interested, the full system is : Linn LP12 Majik / Koil MC Cartridge / Lingo 4 Power Supply / Trampolin Baseboard > Graham Slee Reflex C Phono Stage with Mono Switch > Leak Stereo 130 Amp > Wharfedale Linton Speakers
