This from the man who went on to play Dr Who!Quick search reveals it to be another space hairdresser job. Yawn.
I've watched this a few times now - does make me laugh
Lovely arm, clean lines etc etc.
not sure about the dinner plate or bits of packing foam
..that bit where you say "I do actually like the noise the LP12 makes" is my problem with it. Haven't read the Sterophile article but my guess is they like it because it has stopped doing the noise the LP12 used to make.
I would think so. While the LP12 has an underlying character, there are so many options, parts and upgrades there are a huge variety of possible sounds out of the thing. And while I'm sure the flashy new ones sound great in hi-fi terms I still enjoy a bit of the warmth and bounce of old.

Indeed, the edge that Tancast 8 presents to the owner/listener is pretty ghastly & IMHO does a great disservice to the quality of manufacture involved in producing the rest of the P10.

I'm with you on this one. I know people get a lot of satisfaction by upgrading their ageing deck but for the best balance I would rather pick a point in the LP12 timeline and build a system around that.I always believed that the Linn factory LP12 "packages" over the years -such as in this new Steriophile article- were probably the best way to go tune wise, as certain newer upgrades applied on to older decks could potentially reveal unwanted flaws in those older decks they were not designed for, such as the possibility that installing a new and tighter tolerance bearing could reveal faults in the sub assembly, arm and power supply of older decks for example.
Yes, but do owners enjoy the driving experience? Is it more enjoyable to them than an a clean sheet / cutting edge design like the SF90?The LP12 is the Porsche 911 of turntables - an ancient design kept current by throwing expensive engineering at it.
Absolutely beautiful deck, but I've never understood how something floating on air is supposed to resist the fluctuating force of stylus drag. It seems obvious on the face of it that none of the drag-resisting components should be made out of air, a highly compressible substance, and therefore not an ideal foundation for an invariant time axis. But I'm not an engineer. What have I missed?
