...The rhythm has Control
If you read between the lines of the new LP12 Klimax reviews it talks about Linn remedying the the mid/upper midrange- the past fundamental & inherent LP12 artificial fatness/bloatedness flaws which surround all recordings played back upon them, this has really come to light with the advent of new & uncolored decks such as the P8/P10. I have no doubt that the newer P8/P10 Regas will outperform your 1985 LP12 in all ways, Tune, PraT, long term listening pleasure and hearing playback that is un-colored and accurate to the master, you just need to have an open mind, and not worry about what your friends might think. I have personally owned many LP12s over the past 35 years, and have heard many others at the Linn/Naim shop I used to work at and thought nothing was better. But my P10 over the past year and a half has given me more enjoyment listening to my LP collection than any other deck I have ever heard, I recommend finding a dealer and hearing one for yourself, better if you can bring it home for a week or so and live with it for a little.
People here talk about the RP10 which is a 10 year old design now, give a P8/P10 a listen as they are much more refined decks.
