Affording them is one thing. Affording the rest of the components to compliment them is another. This is one expensive hobby.

 

I bought a circa 1981 Linn Sondek LP12 that was sitting in someone's garage and restored it. No way in hell I would be able to afford one new. Linn and most of these boutique hi fi suppliers have gone completely off their rockers. These days I also build my own amps. Almost done with my Pass Aleph J replica. Also busy now with Pass Xono phono preamp replica.

Correctly restored and with a few upgrades not many turntables will touch a LP12.

Won't mention Linn's upgrade pricing. It might cause me an ulcer. I replaced the grommets and springs though, with new belt and P-clip also. Then I fitted it with a Hercules power supply. And new bearing oil. And that was it.

U2 - rattle n hum

 

I have U2 - Unforgettable Fire on vinyl which is pretty special since I managed to catch them live on the tour of this album at the Mannheim City Hall - totally by chance

I was into the early albums War, October, Boy etc this one was more melodic, transcendental

I believe this one and the next album, The Joshua Tree, were their best ones. Pity the recording engineer was asleep behind the console when they did this one. Could have been better engineered.
