Definitely.

Welcome Andy!

Tell us about the LP12.
What cartridge are you using?
Power supply upgrades?

What's the rest of your system?

Hi Brad,

My LP12 is Circkussed and Lingoed (original narrow-case Lingo) but at some stage I will be doing a "renovation" to add the Cetech carbon-fibre sub-chassis.  As I will have to take it apart to fit this, I'm also going to get my afromosia plinth "piano-blacked" ... which I think should look pretty swish!  :-))

As I've got Lingo #1, I suspect something could be done about the power supply and motor ... but both of the current options seems to be expensive!  (Buy a new Lingo or swap to the Orgin Live DC motor.)  But a guy called Mark Kelly over on Vinyl Asylum is developing a 3-phase elctric motor and supply so, when he's got this working, if it sound good it might be a cheaper option!

The rest of my system is listed her under "Systems" ... andyr.

Regards,

Andy
