Sorry if this has been covered before but I always struggle to find any like subjects whenever I do a search on the Linn forums.
I am thinking of building an LP12 turntable from scratch by buying the various bits needed as and when I can afford them or as and when they may come up for sale on the dreaded fleabay. Has anyone else done this and if so do you have any comments to make that might help to know before starting.
Yes I do realise that it would be quicker and probably cheaper to buy a ready built one but so far ones that I have been interested in either sell for far too much for my pocket or are collection only and are too far away from me or there is always something that needs replacement anyway.
This way I can add a piece as and when I have the cash and it will make an interesting project. I have owned three LP12's over the years so setting one up is not a problem for me.
