LP12 at Klimax level is the one to go for. Go down Aro route like Cohen with heavily upgraded plinth and top plate and baseboard. I have gone classic LP12 Klimax, all standard Linn with Ekos SE/1. Radikal 2 Klimax power supply. Tangerine Audio make interesting products.
I didnāt want mine modded to start with. And I am more than happy with it.
I think you will enjoy it Holger!

Peter from Cymbiosis will come out from UK and install an LP12 for you. Makes life easy. Book it in and then you will be the Gold winner joint with me!
No contest !
My phonosophie is really good. With aro and new cart it will be perfect. Maybe superline.
Or Vertere
But not today and not tomorrow - but vinyl must be next!
And lp12ā¦ nice!
All my energy had been focused in the digital chain, but I have collected a lot of vinyl. And love the sound very much.

The Karousel bearing and Krad2 are the real LP12 game changers IMO Dan. The Stiletto/ Scorpion are expensive but a clear and obvious upgrade. Whether Iād move over to them if I owned one of the lovely timber plinths Iām not sure. I just happened to be buying a complete new deck so it made sense to go with the S/S as I only had to find just over Ā£1k to make up the deck with bearing, lid etc. I went for the best SOUNDING LP12 that I heard. The stealth look is pretty cool though right?
Interestingly my LP12 (admittedly with a second hand ARO/ Urika) didnāt cost me any more than the tricked up Solstice or SME 20/2 and Cymbiosis (top service from PS) donāt discount. This LP12 is the best of the three. I had a three hour listening session yesterday. Lotās of traditional Jazz. Miles Davis, Duke Ellington etc. Intoxicatingly realistic! I canāt wait for the next listening session which is a tell tale isnāt it?
