In Reply to: Turntable design & audio snobbery - What is a turntable supposed to DO? posted by soundnut on September 7, 2006 at 17:53:18:
*But I've heard Linn LP-12s played through $12,000 amplifiers & a $6000 preamp. I've also heard a well-setup Dual idler drive with a Shure V15-III played through a big ol' Pioneer integrated amp from the 70s. Sure there was a difference. Again, I didn't think it wasn't huge.*i've heard an ill-set up an all Linned LP12 ( Ekos II/Akiva/Lingo II, the whole works ) complete with 12k amp and 10k pre., who shall remain anonymous, and it was just horrendous. It was so bad I thought that the table's bounce was off. ( it wasn't ) I don't think this particular setup could have even competed with a run-of-a-mill Pioneer.
I had a stack of records I wanted to listen to this rig, but after few cuts, it was obvious, no point listening to it. I couldn't get the same level of involvement or satisfaction out of this system. I was simply a boring affair.
My Linn is much lower-specked comparatively, yet it provides much better sonic returns.
I've enjoyed even a garage sale found turntable in the past. There's an inherent goodness in all analogue playback.
But above system, I won't have it around even if someone gifted me with it. It simply was missing the very reason I want to listen to a record.
