OTOH, could it be that Van Den Hul’s Build quality suffers from some lack of QC.as the other Linnie basically insisted. Just curious as to why you believe in the requirement for Azimuth adjustment.and I suspect it is for a very good reason. other MC’s in this regard.isn’t the build accuracy sufficient to not have to concern oneself with Azimuth adjustments? Now on the face of it this seems like a crazy point of view, however, on some reflection I actually wonder if that is a very valid point! Therefore, why are you so concerned about your Colibri cartridge vs.
#Linn ekos silver upgrade
The documentation on this Linn LP12 upgrade is extensive. To tie all your improvements together, improve speed, timing, stability and add easy button control to switch between 33/3 and 45 fit the ubiquitous Origin Live DC motor kit. The Ekos Se doesn’t need to include Azimuth adjustment, because only faulty cartridges from the factory don’t have their stylus aligned in a correct perpendicular manner! As such, adding another connection or adjustment would interfere with the arms rigidity. The sonic gains of these 3 Linn LP12 upgrades are out of all proportion to the cost. Why do we like the old fruit box so much.īooker, on the other forum when I posted a thread about the importance of Azimuth adjustment and asked why the ‘best’ Linn arm doesn’t include this.I was told the following.( with considerable insistancy and some amount of frustration with my OP, lol): Right now, if I remember, you can acquire a Keel with SME cutout, Naim Aro cut out ( works with the Javelin) and lastly.Linn cut out, lol. The AMG might be a contender.haven’t heard it.and some are saying it’s pretty meh. The Vertere arm might be a contender, but same thing, haven’t heard it. The new Tiger Paw Javelin might be a contender, although I haven’t heard it. Sweeps across the horizontal plane with only a small anti skate force applied. It will remain to be seen if that arm is the new AMG 9, or something else. However, I think the table is superior to the arm.and deserves a better arm than the Ekos SE. Both dials move freely and both vertical and horizontal bearings are smooth. Sure the Linn Ekos SE works well with the table, as it should. Versions also available for Rega, SME & Naim tonearms. Compatible with Linn Ekos SE, Ekos, Akito, and Ittok tonearms. Nice clean example of an original (NOT upgraded) Mark 2 Ekos. Versioner tillgängliga som är anpassade för Rega, SME och Naim-tonarmar. The Graham is too, although closer, but I think the geometry is what the lil darling dislikes. Linn Ekos Mark 2 (Preowned, Ref 001664) Regular price. Unfortuntately, as you well know, the dear old fruit box doesn’t like most of the great arms out there.she’s a real persnickety little bugger. Your Johnnie arm would be on my short list.

While my experience with the arm isn’t as great as some other Linnie’s.I do wonder if there is a better alternative. However, like you, I question the lack of adjustability, the poor tonearm wiring and other issues with the Ekos Se. To which I was basically castigated,as in the minds of the followers.there simply is nothing better than an Ekos Se.and to think so is blasphemy. Booker, as a fellow Linnie, I have asked the exact same question that you posted in your OP.
