Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 22 hours ago, Dave (OnliestSmeg) - Joint Manchester AO said: A Michell Almost bought a GyroDec myself, but the ClearAudio just edged it for me. .... after trying to recommission my Linn following a few years storage during 'lean times' to find it knackered and repair totally uneconomical. I found after 20 years other brands had caught up and Linns prices unjustifiable, but the arm was still good and helped fund replacement purchase significantly. Despite my deck being German, I'm all for British 'nonsense' & the rest of my Hi-Fi components are British. Linn's record deck prices these days seem like they're not far off what it cost to manufacture bits on an almost individual basis! I remember selling their entry level tone arm, the Akito, for around £180 or so in the nineties. Last time I looked it cost more than my Ekos mk II did!

SootySport Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 The Linn LP12 prices scare me now. I think Regas offerings are far more realistically priced, and sound good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onliest Smeg David Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 It's no good having Vinyl without a deck........ So, I'll be happy to take Vinyl off your hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
