I'd say that if you are looking for vfm, then selling the Lingo will net £450 and a diy geddon is yours for £50 and an afternoon. Or pay a man and have one for 100. Fancy case extra. Some people prefer the geddon and you can now buy a nice cart, or a roksan nima, or whatever you want."Binn the Lingo and buy or build an Armageddon Clone" - can you explain your reasoning why I would do this? I have always understood that the lingo simply makes the platter rotate and find it hard to understand how moving from it to another Lingo variant or another make of power supply can have anything other than a tiny SQ change? Remember I am more interested in the sweet spot for reasonable money for a final build to aspire to.
And buy a 45 rpm adaptor and muck about everytime you want to play a 45 ...I'd say that if you are looking for vfm, then selling the Lingo will net £450 and a diy geddon is yours for £50 and an afternoon.

I don't discount the OP having near zero, I don't have a huge number, still enough for a lack of 45 (and the Linn 45 RPM adaptor is a real pain) to be worth considering, that is all.45? I think I have about 10.
I´ve got the 25th anniversary Tamla singles box which, with my Norton AirPower PSU I have never played and doubt I ever will - I ju7st read the booklet etc.. Must get round to flogging it.
Bin the arm, leave the rest.
I owned , during my LP12 ownership period of about 30 years, 4 different LP12s . By far the nicest was an unmodded pre Cirkus one with Rega arm ( much underrated) and AT OC9 cartridge .
I’m intrigued to know in what way people think the Cirkus decks sound better?
