Brilliantly executed video! I’m 60, so remember records and turntables probably at their peak in popularity. Just feel now in 2023 we’re moving backwards rather than forwards with this type of equipment. Remember why records were originally phased out. Scratches, dust , wow and flutter It’s like going back to a starting handle with a family car! Anyway, it’s all probably just me, and some people do say that the sound from vinyl is warmer than digital Although I never could hear a difference myself!
hearing is so subjective and individualized, what your particular brain reported as reality is never processed exactly the same as another brains sonic reality. the measurable differences between analog and digital are in the reflected distortion harmonics, the inner ear reflection generated distortion undertones that the ear evolved to locate direction. digital creates third order harmonics , analog playback creates second order harmonic distortion, which some say is the difference, because the latter are found in nature. most people listen in such a way that this un-needed information is both unknown and discarded as non relevant to their listening..
There is a difference: IKEA furniture is build by yourself, the customer without training. Result is up to yourself ;) This is dealer build with special training to them und special tools. Result should be always them same.
The LP12 continues to evolve. Each upgrade enhances the performance. The last two updates to the Majik LP12 (Krane tonearm and Karousel bearing) offer significant improvements. See ripcaster.co.uk/Linn_Majik_LP12_Tonearms
Linn have got some brass neck charging what they do for this deck. Cheap rubber feet. Crappy on switching. There are a lot things on an LP12 that could be of better quality. Compared to decks by SME, Michell, Wilson Benesch. The package is a faff to set up and maintain.
@@ripcastercouk Heard the Linn on many occasions. Excellent sound. But from a manufacturing cost standpoint it is very overpriced. With the previous decks I mentioned, you can really see the quality of materials and engineering.
@@Fontsman ... with a very different sound. An SME will not sound like a LP12. The build process is done once and the joy of hearing music is done countless times. The maintaining of suspension or something else is by far not that horror that is drawn by some people. If I had not changed parts of my LP12 it would play since 6 years without any hand on internals and would be good for another decade or so. Belt and cartridge are of wear as it's with every belt driven turntable. The only thing which I don't like is the advise from Linn to change the cartridge with the arm taken out of the sub chassis to prevent damage of the delicate bearings of the arm. This is not easy to do since the cable has to be taken off the arm inside the chassis which is tricky through a tiny hole in the Trampolin base plate.

Strange conundrum, that.

It's like an audiophile IKEA. You not only get a legendary turntable to enjoy, but you also enjoy building it. Nice!

Very nice. Audiovector speakers in the background 👍
R3 arrete?
Yes 😁
Much love for the R3 Arrete
🇩🇰👌🏻
Buitiful stuff🍺💘
Interesting thanks. Which tonearm does the new one replace and does it make a sonic difference

The Linn LP12 is more than a sum of it's parts. You are welcome to visit ripcaster and hear how good the LP12 sounds.

@@tumenihits5438 absolutely right
I have no interest in ironing
