Suburb or Town: Glen Waverley State: Victoria Payment Method: Paypal, EFT, Cash on pick up. Reason for selling: NLR need funz Further information: Immaculate condition Linn Sondek turntable which has had full Cirkus upgrade comprising: New Bearing Housing, sub chassis, sub platter, New springs & grommets all purchased around 4 years ago. Mose & Hercules external PSU Box 33/ 45 speed controller with internal circuit board & switch fitted to LP12. (think were around $650 new) (This is a huge step up sonically and in terms of reliability over the standard Valhalla power supply board) Silent base Acrylic base fitted with 3 spikes & cups. (normally $260). I was using this deck with a Wand tonearm for the last 4 years, just after I bought this deck - and have refitted the Ittok LV11 Arm & Armboard which are in immaculate condition. Deck has been stripped, cleaned and assembled with bearing fresh oil replaced - arm height & hydraulic lifter adjusted. It has been fitted with am EEI Moving magnet cartridge 3.5mv with a new tip replaced by Garrott Bros. I believe as have never used it. Tested and playing records beautifully, and operating flawlessly. I have the original carton with accessories, original receipt (from Secher Audio) ,and owners manual still in the box. It looks even better condition than when I bought it around 5 years ago, and it was very good then! I have priced this very fairly for a quick sale - nothing whatsoever needs to be done, except if you wish to update the cartridge. Preference given to a local buyer, although theoretically could be posted in original carton. Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

Dawso8 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hey Clive, It looks beautiful! My mate @dalyjoe will take it. He has sent you a PM, he is a bit computer illiterate and cannot work out how to respond on here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willmax Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) My Linn is about 2k units younger with a very similar setup and I love it. It does not have the Silent Acrylic Base with spikes though, which looks pretty neat in yours btw. What are you going to be using as spinner after the Linn is sold?

Herbs Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Everyone froths over these decks and have for many years. Never heard one myself just curious what makes them so great and appealing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Lovely TT having heard it a few times and it's been updated and lovingly cared for. It's cheap as chips for what's in it and with the Ittok back on it it's very very Linn. It's a lucky buyer to get this at this price, WD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard one myself just curious what makes them so great and appealing They are dynamic and sound great. No other words. Too many people go on about colouration, but colouration is everywhere. Look at speakers for example and the same person will tell you speakers are the most important thing. Why? Cause they are coloured. Everyone should own one for a while in their life and set it up themselves. If they can't do that and are negative, they are talking ****. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah has been a wonderful chapter in my life, progressing from a Pimped Rega, Thorens and then the Linn . Teaches you a lot about the finer details involved in extracting good sound reproduction ! Will miss the hands on aspect with future decks, more set and sit back from now on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
