This is the first time I’ve looked at this thread in a month and it’s nice to see there is lots of activity. Yes, just for clarity about 1350 Aros were made. Plus an unspecified number of tops plus an unspecified number of staff builds.
Nice to hear some good news on the BBC this morning: vinyl sales this year are up 11.7% against last year, and this is the biggest volume (around 6 million vinyl sales in the UK) there has been since 1990!
It’s great to hear you guys are enjoying your LP12s so much .
It was launch in '87 replacing the Karma and it was eventually superseded by Arkiv in '90/91.
I remember a demo in April '87 at Audiotech Hq in Pisa along with Lp12/Ittok Nac 42.5/HC/250/Kan. I 've been so mesmerized by that system that i ordered a Troika for my recently acquired Lp12/Ittok/Asaka
P.s. I’ve just discussed with my Linn dealer in Cremona for the final spec. of the Sondek i’ll have in a few weeks.
I’ve been making this deck work hard since the upgrades I had done this year. It sounds superb and entertains me in a way that streaming and CD’s can’t. It is now my favourite among my sources.
Cheers, I’ve found one from Groove Audio that delivers to NZ. Will grab a black one I think. Will have to remove the double sided strips of tape - could be interesting if it’s stuck to the platter… nothing a bit of meths won’t sort out.
