The oil is lighter weight than the Linn bearing oil.Īs far as sound quality goes, the TT2 is like a Linn.
The TT2 bearing and platter are not so heavy as the Linn nor so finely machined. Later models had different power supply arrangements. It is non-laminated like the older Linn armboards, but unlike the Linn, the Heybrook arm board is made of a plywood sandwich not MDF.
LINN EKOS REGA FULL
The armboard in the TT2 is thicker but shorter while the LP12 arm board is the full front to back depth of the plinth. The TT2 has a transport screw for locking down the suspension when shipping. The top plate on the TT2 is much thicker than the Linn and black. The springs of the Linn are adjusted from below by nuts. The springs in the TT2 are stiffer and can be adjusted from the top plate using a 5mm Allen key. In addition, most of the cavities inside the chassis of the TT2 are filled with shaped wood blocks, in the Linn they are not. The TT2 plinth is constructed of 1" thick MDF with a wood veneer, the LP12 of solid wood, usually English ash. It is very thick aluminium compared to the thin steel Linn use. The Heybrook TT2 has a massive sub-chassis compared to the Linn. They both use a wood plinth which looks similar, a two-piece platter, and identical dust covers (except for the logo-LP12 Vs TT2). They are both three point sprung suspensions as both are based on the original AR white paper for transcription turntables. Turned left to go to Heybrook and right to go to Linn.ĭespite the apocryphal nature of this anecdote, the truth is, the two designs share a number of things in common.

LINN EKOS REGA HOW TO
The questions from the list about the LP12 and how to set it up have resulted in the compilation of this FAQ. The Linn LP12 has a long and varied history and requires to be "set-up" correctly to achieve best results. Some members of the list have produced FAQ's for their make of turntable. Many members of the list have high quality turntables and among these is the Linn LP12. The major musical source for the members on the list is the vinyl LP played on a turntable. Originally copied complete by permission, which was last updated with a date of 03 December 2006 Status: V1.57Īnd then subsequently edited by me to include some newer kit and remove some broken links.Īnalogue Addicts is a mailing list dedicated to discussion of the high quality reproduction of music by analogue means. Note that the Orginal Document "Analogue Addicts Linn LP12 FAQ" from Neil J Mackie is now a broken link so I've removed references to it. A LP12 TT with a homemade basic power supply ( a bit like the Rega board ) and a Rega 300 tone arm on a Linn ' Rega fit ' arm board. My dealer produced The Sound Gallery Special. Why not fit a Rega with a Linn Rega arm boardįor a few years when CD was taking over and you could buy a LP12 for a few hundred pounds there was no entry basik or Majik LP12, no basik or Valhalla power supply or entry tone arm. The Clearaudio ( it is them isn't it ) looks good I would not touch the Project Majik, the headshell alone disqualifies the Project is the Linn Lid £110 better ….Noĭifficult to tell if the Krane is better than say a Basic LV X because you will only get to hear one ( the Krane ) on a Karousel Majik LP12. Rega lid is excellent VFM but a bit flimsy compared to the LP12 lid. The Rega lid is good, I also have a pair of Rega's and one in bits in a box. The LP12 lid is nicer than a Rega lid, I know ,I just bought one for my LP12 only it's third lid in 40 years.
