The plinth was heavily worn - as early black plinths tend to be - so this has been sympathetically refinished the plinth to remove the worst of the wear and tear. Nevertheless, it does show some minor signs of ageing and use.Originally fitted with a failed Valhalla, this has now been exchanged for a very nice Linn Lingo 1 power supply which is in excellent condition. This, along with the pre-Cirkus bearing provides a very musical partnership so we’ve elected to use a rarely found (particularly in this condition) Syrinx PU-2 tonearm. Claimed by many to be the better of the Linn Ittok, this cleverly engineered design allows for greater control of cartridge alignment and balance and provides a performance more akin to uni-pivot designs rather than conventional bearing tonearms.This is now set up beautifully and performs at a level that greatly belies its price point. OverviewPoints of note (pictured)There are some light signs of use on the top of the plinth.There is a crack in the lid at the rear right hinge but it still operates perfectly. There are some light surface scratches to the lid but it is presentable. Given the size of this tonearm, the lid does lightly foul in the fully down position so we would recommend using spacers in the long-term.This deck is hugely capable and is perfect for someone who really appreciates how musical - and esoteric - the LP12 platform can be.
