I don't want to mess with them, but here goes: Do an online search on the word "Sondek" and you'll confront the "true believers" head on.

Three decades later, the LP12 continues its strong hold on hordes of Linnies. This may be a review of a system, but the LP12 is still the central component, and it's somewhat intimidating writing about the turntable that, in 1972, turned audio upside down and sent turntables back to belt drive. Linn also suggests siting the LP12 on "a small light, rigid table, e.g., small coffee table." I don't have such a table, so the Sondek was placed on the solid-maple top shelf of my Finite Elemente Pagode stand. We feel the best method is to let the stylus remove any dirt which may be in the groove, then clean the stylus." Right.) Let them also swallow Linn's line about cleaning records: "Most record cleaning devices do more harm than good. (Linn suggests using double-stick tape if the mat comes up. The Ringmat sounded better, wasn't a dust magnet, and didn't come up with the record and head eastward, threatening the cantilever's health and well-being. Instead, I used a Ringmat during the break-in period, and only after that did I substitute the felt met for a spell so I could listen to the "stock" system. That left Linn's orthodoxy-a felt mat-free to catch dust, so I didn't use it either, since my job description doesn't include ruining my records from dust infestation. Perhaps it's just my analog orthodoxy, but I left the LP12's dustcover off: I don't like large soundwave-catching resonators attached to turntables. It has three pairs of RCA jacks: one input, two outputs. Linn says it took two years of research and experimentation to get this to work.Ĭonnecting the Linto is easy. Instead, it converts incoming AC to high-voltage DC, then "chops it up" (Linn's words) at a very high frequency before feeding it to a small (30mm square) transformer whose output is then converted back to very smooth DC. The Linto's small size and weight results from Linn's use of its Brilliant (their name) switch-mode power supply, which uses neither a large transformer nor soda-can-sized capacitors. The Linto's fixed input impedance is 150 ohms. A red LED on the front panel will light up to let you know if you need to snip. Linn's only concession to "flexibility" is to include an internal wire you can trim to reduce gain by 10dB to 54dB, should you use the Linto with a high-output cartridge that overloads the circuit.
