Quite a balanced review - probably more favourable than I was expecting. If they hadn't been pretty damning on the pricing I would suspect that Linn had increased their advertising budget.
Shame that they didn't cover subsequent upgrades like Harban plinths, Tiger-paw / Tangerine top plates or Chord cables. The Naim Aro is no longer produced and would involve a Keel change as well, so probably right not to mention that one

Currently Cymbiosis LP12 Woodsong Wenge, Klimax Radikal/Chord Sarum T, Keel/A, Khan, Tranquility, Urika/Chord SSA, Aro, sKale, Lyra Kleos SL - Sondek owner since 1982 - the rest is Naim, Chord and Kudos

What do you mean by this post? I assumed you had already adopted these upgrades, although maybe not the Aro owing to its scarcity.

Agreed, the cherry plinth is not the highlight ...
Good to see a LP12 being reviewed though

Good to hear from you Paul
