MrSchnitzer Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 SOLD Item: Linn Axis turntable with arm and cartridgeLocation: Adelaide (pickup only)Price: $650Item Condition: GoodReason for selling: UpgradingPayment Method: Pickup - CashExtra Info: I’m selling my Linn Axis turntable. I bought this second-hand somewhere around 1999 (maybe later). It includes the Linn Akito arm, the Audio Technica OC9 MC cartridge, the felt mat, original manual, and the perspex lid. Phono cables are built-in. Cosmetic condition is quite good; the lid is much better than other ones I’ve seen. The OC9 still performs well but is probably fairly high in hours by now. This turntable makes it easy to switch between 33 RPM and 45 RPM, many other turntables need the belt repositioned, but on the Axis it's just a button push. Selling because I’m gradually updating my whole system, finally. I don’t have any packaging for this turntable, so it’s strictly pickup only.

Lindsay, These are great TT's and with this cart its well worth jumping on. If you didn't like it you'd lose nothing if you sold it.

BATMAQN Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I'd buy it if I was anywhere near Adelaide and I don't even need it nice looking piece indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSchnitzer Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 @rantan was the first person to arrange an audition, so he gets first option. So no further callers for now I'll update this thread afterwards either way. It's heartening to see how much interest there is in vinyl nowadays! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wimbo Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Very good buy. There also a thread here on fixing the motor electronics if the motor fails. This was a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Triode Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I used to own one which I purchased new in 88. It is a very musical sounding TT like it's older brother the Sondek. Good value buying here. Early models had an issue with the switch but this looks like the refined later model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I wonder is how far I want to go beyond the looking glass, or if I want to inhabit a parallel universe I think it might be a bit like Paradise Lost but that's probably too deep in a TT thread Edited May 13, 2017 by rantan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 More like a Pilgrims Progress I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunyip Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I have this table, purchased around the same time. Love it, would never sell it. It's a trooper. For what it's worth Lindsay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
