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.

Really bad turntables can cause really bad sound, but like everything else,
all good turntables sound the same.

It is well known among people who have studied Linn turntables with a good
engineering background in relevant areas that there was nothing that was
unique or exemplary about the Linn products other than the marketing and
hype.
