    My System....TT Upgrade

    I just bought a Linn LP12 with a Grace tone arm from a friend who is also an LH member. It was set-up with a Soundsmith cartridge, and I am really enjoying the results. I have listened to an MSFL Donald Fagen "The Nightfly", Supertramp's "Breakfast in America", and an MFSL of Poco's GH/Legends. I am anxious to hear how good it will sound once the cartridge breaks in. Note: you can see the JBL 250Ti brochure in the background. I picked it up in 1986 when I was 16, and I still have it....they floored me even back then.

    looks cool.

    Hey, Punch, nice TT. Glad you're enjoying it.

    You may have mentioned this before, but I'll just ask anyway: Can you tell me about the bases you have under your 250Tis please? I'm thinking of doing something similar, and would be grateful to to know where you got them or how you made them.

    Thanks!
    Out.

    I have always appreciated the long line of Linn tables. Your new piece fits 'right' in with the other equipment... designed right, built right, and kept right.

    Thanks for the kind words!

    The bases actually came from the same friend that I purchased the TT from....He had them custom made for me by a woodworker he knew/knows. They came to me raw and finished on all sides but one, the bottom. I put the beveled edge on all sides and then finished them with stain. The footers are by Mapleshades.

    Tom...you have an open invitation! Please stop by.

    Beautiful! I love those classic tables. Linn is an excellent company and you can keep that table running for virtually forever.

    Is the Soundsmith cartridge a high compliance MM design? I ask because your tonearm is a design that is meant to be used with that style cartridge... most modern cartridges are a higher mass and need an arm with a lower resonance.

    Very cool set up. What preamp are you using?
