Great video, very insightful info, didn't know so much dedication goes into a Linn TT, considering it looks very plain and simple!
I am currently seeking some advice once again from the analog gurus...
One of my trusted mates, who actually used to work for the dealership I bought the RP8 from, was in recent contact. He asked me several questions about the set up of the RP8, and who had done the job, plus the fitting of the BM glider onto the RP8. I told him the necessary info, and this was his reply:
1. A 2mm "spacer" is required for the BM glider to perform at its optimum on the RP8, this allows the arm to be slightly lifted.
2. This spacer is a must and the person who didn't include one whiles setting up the BM glider is clueless about proper TT setup!
3. The whole arm needs to be dismantled, and the spacer fitted, then final tuning and finer adjustments are done by ear, not really according to the specs of the book, which is what the previous chap followed.
4. On final note, he claims once this is installed properly, and finer adjustments are made, there will be a dramatic improvement in the sound quality, such that the overall performance of the RP8 will increase by 50%!
Currently what I'm hearing is only half the potential...
Is this true?
I'm also starting to worry that if this chap dismantles the arm, I'm affraid my warranty will be void, simply because it's being done by a 3rd party...
What should I do?
