I still like my LP12

I'm an LP12 owner as well, and I still really like the table. Although LP12 bashing is fashionable for some on this board, I'm sure that there's an equal (perhaps larger) number of people who own and like the table... some of whom are probably busier listening to music than gossiping on their computers.

I tend to find that the complaints about the excessive midbass and lack of detail are more characteristic of pre-circus valhalla-powered decks from the 80's (and before). It's kind of like bashing a Porsche 911 because the early 80's models were prone to oversteer.

The circus, lingo and especially the keel all serve to progressively tighten (and deepen) the bass and increase detail. The question is where to stop, and that's a personal call.

I kind of wish I didn't hear a 'keeled' deck. The improvement in clarity and timing is substantial - probably moreso than a switch from a valhalla to a lingo, and definitely more than a tonearm switch. Value is a tough call. I'm holding off on the keel.

I can, however, heartily reccommend the boston audio mat. That works very well on the table. Similarly, if you haven't done so already, a neuance shelf and a Sound Organisation (or similar) support will make a substantial difference.
