Stiletto is about £2k, it needs to be good.
I think you will find it’s £4900...

Can you explain the purpose of the shim? Is it because the flange of the GS sub is not thick enough?@James Just check with David Genther at Greenstreet. He is very helpful and responds quickly. I had the first GS shim and the Karousel sounds amazing. It also works with the Khan
That is quite simply ridiculous & I would never pay it. I’ve had an LP12 for about 20 years, I really like it but if I was chucking that money around I would look at other options. Personally, I’ve always fancied an SME but people are free to make other choices.I think you will find it’s £4900...

Even though I ordered a pre-Cirkus GS sub, I'm now more convinced I have the standard Cirkus sub because my platter rides about one or two millimetres lower than it used when I had the original Linn sub. I guess I'll find out for sure when I tear down my LP12 and measure the flange. Is your shim installed below between the Karousel body and the sub, or above between the sub and locknut? That would also affect the platter ride height.

I've done that and David has replied too. It seems like you were one of his beta testing subjects. He's finalising his shim soon and I'll get one of those before I pull the trigger on a Karousel.No idea how the shim fits to be honest. My dealer explained to David what the problem was, he engineered a shim, and sent it direct to the dealer to save time. I’m a simple chap - I don’t need to know how it’s fixed - as long as it sounds great . David at GS will be able to answer your questions - he’s bought a Karousel too! Email tonight and you’ll have a reply waiting for you in the morning.....
I see that the Karousel comes with new grommets and springs. Is a new belt also included?
Yes one of the good guys definitely !This has just made me very sad. I wanted to learn more about Stiletto and found this page, which promises a demonstration from Derek Jenkins (http://www.kjwestone.co.uk/collection/stiletto/overview). Such a nice geezer. Only the good die young. How I would love to have a chat and a cigarette with him now. You don't know what you have til it's gone. God rest his soul.

US$35 plus $3 postage. I suppose it's fair enough that he needs to recover costs, time and effort.@James Is David charging for the shims or free to existing GS owners? Any idea whether he's changing the design of his GS in future to be Karousel Kompatible sans shim?
I did not ask whether he was going to change the Klone design to be fully compatible with Karousel.
Yep, your right, every five bloody minutes Linn come out with another update!I'm not sure if the Karousel improves the LP12 sound but I'm sure, the first reason of this upgrade, is to increase the firm profits (if many fishies bite). I have cirkused and late pre-cirkused LP12s. I like both even if they sound different. The endless chain of updates has been boring me for some time.
