    If you went into a LINN dealer and asked for the top spec LP12 , have you seen how much it will cost ?

    Out of my price range. I'm looking to spend between £2 - £3,000 this year, on deck, amp and speakers.

    If I didn't have the LP12 , I would not even go there , but have owned it since 1983 and it's ended up back with me .



    If I was starting afresh , I would look at an all rega set up , or perhaps Project / Rotel ?

    Yes they can , and they always have been able to .

    It's a more mellow sound IMHO , but one that I prefer .

    Go easy on him Jasper... Kustard spent two weeks running in circles around his first CD shining a light pen at it ... until somebody took pity on him and mentioned that he would need a CD player <whistle>

    Indeed ... the cover of Gary Numan's "White Boys And Heroes" should have made it clear <whistle>

    Also , and I an only speak for myself , I like taking the LP out of the album cover , cleaning it , etc .

    In the same way I miss Photo Albums that you open and flick through the pages .

    Not having to fire up a PC first .

    I don't use vynyl or cd's I don't own even 1. I just use spotify, the quality is good/superb depending on what you play it through.

    Using a PC is for MP3 is a bit old nowadays you carry around a computer in your poket and can stream music film and tv from it.

    I thought everyone knew? Not the dog's name, or the painter's, but the His Master's Voice bit was pretty widely known, I thought?

    Anyway, CD's are **** <ok>

    i-pods are better, but digital sound will never achieve the depth and texture of analogue.
