Installer spent 4 hours setting up the LP12. Adjusted the Fraim levelling and made sure everything was spot on.
Urika 1 and Radikal 2 Klimax are brand new. Out of plastic. Unopened boxes. So very happy about that as ex demo prices. Got some bits part exchanged as well. Will sell the rest on.
552DR is like new. Immaculate.
Kandid cart is spot on as well. I have got kit like new for good prices. All helps!

That is one stunning setup, very impressive.
Looking forward to hearing how the upgrades work out once you have had time to give it a good work out.
Enjoy the music.

It’s bigger than Wow! My jaw is dropping. I am in disbelief!
It sounds very natural and the word I would use is fast.
Very forward. More so than 52. It has alot of punch.
I don’t know if Linn stuff takes time to burn in as Urika 1 and Radikal 2 are brand new! Was nice surprise.

The “full on” is to be expected Dan. Not only new kit but not even warmed up. I heard an almost identical deck to yours on Saturday and it was soooo smooth. The 552 is defo less “forward” than the 52 so there again it’s only a mattter of time

First impressions of LP12 Klimax are Wow! Alot of changes compared to before. Sounds very fast, very forward. Stronger bass, more definition. Fuller sound, more detail.
Very low noise floor and extremely clear presentation.
552 is fast, forward, lower noise floor than 52. Amplification sounds more resolved. It clicks.
So overall extremely good, impressive and wow!
The difference is not subtle and it’s not burned in. The Linn stuff is new so will need to burn in.
The 552 will take a bit of time I am sure too.
Very very happy man here

I’m glad I got all the extra bits I wasn’t going to which include Ekos SE, Kandid and Urika 1.
Was just gonna go Keel and Radikal 1 Akurate.
It’s a very full on upgrade and isn’t for the faint hearted.

Well done Dan. My 552 was fresh out the box but straight away I noticed how much more defined the snap was on the snare drum, and we just went from there!
