Are you seriously suggesting that using a Linn turntable rather than a
Technics one makes any difference at all to the "dynamics, imaging and
tone"? The cartridge, and to a lesser extent the arm will make an
audible difference, but not the turntable. Any turntable that goes
round at the right speed, with minimal speed variation (wow) and
rumble, will sound the same as any other.

Not my experience.

I did own a turntable between the Technics and the Linn an Ariston. Yes, I
know, washing machines. Anyway, I changed from the the technics to this
high mass belt drive purely for dynamics and for some time the arm and
cartridge were the same as on the technics. So yes, I am suggesting that.

I would say if you think turntables sound the same, you've not listened to
many. What more can I say that's how it is for me.


I would be fascinated to know if you could tell when a turntable had been
changed in a blind listening test. I suspect not.
