Sadly the only effective theraputic modality for Linnies is group therapy, many Linnieopaths go through life adrift and undiagnosed ;-)I wonder if I'm the guy he is referring to ? Actually I spend about
3 to 4 minutes per LP on average.

I didn't find the article that you referred to, but it doesn't surprize me, as record cleaning like anything else in the world of the analophile can easily reach th point of either wretched excess and or absurdity., by Groundhog day you're talking about having a Deja V all over again ;-)
Since I may have contributed to this ruckus from my post below, let me say I am an LP12 owner also, but no hard core Linnie. The modded Thorens just sounds much better to my ears in my listening environment. Is the LP 12 bad? Absolutely, not! But, when I apply the law of diminishing returns to upgade the Linn to sound as nice as this old TD150, it just doesn't make sense to spends lots of money on the Linn. Anyway, I am enjoying purchasing and listening to old vinyl again with my new/old Thorens.
Exactly, I don't own a Linn but many of the guys I respect for their depth of knowledge and experience do, including my dealer friend, but I've never had an opportunity to buy a Linn at what I would consider a reasonable price.
Perhaps I'm reletively easily amused but I love buying nice Vintage equipment that has issues on the cheap, and then getting it back to at least it's former performance level and beyond with minimal outlay and complication the old Thorens decks are particularly well suited for the purpose.
Fred,
Those LPs will play longer if you play them at 33 1/3.
78 is too fast for the modern records. ;)
Thanks for the heads up on that one ! I tried it and Caruso no longer sounds like Alvin of Alvin or the Chipmunks, can't wait to spin Leon Redbone and see what he sounds like on 33 1/3 ;-)
