Cables, an advice

[porcy62]

Sadly, I have a Linn arm, and their new upgrades for LP 12 definitely cost too many bucks: the sub-chassis is around 3K and the new arm around 4.2 K, in euros...

They've definitely lost the plot.

"specify the Ekos SE tonearm, Akiva cartridge and Trampolin base board"

Definitely not ! (asuming they are referring to this damn suspension system as well).

I presume that these could be nice upgrades if you have a twenty years, or more, old LP 12 and you want to renew it, but my Ekos, that I paid 2.7 K, is four years old, so in the trade I would loose around 2 K, or more, and the trampolin , I am going to replace it with one of these: http://www.combak.net/feet&bases/FEET&BASES.htm even if it costs me 700 euros more

Which of those tuning feet optons would you use on an LP12?

My LP12 came with the Trampolin base board and feet but in the end I removed the feet and put on some alternatives. The improvement was immediate !

I don't know at the moment. I will borrow some of them from my dealer and will test them w/o removing the trampolin. I'll let you know.
