Turntable Linn Sondek LP12 kit Valhalla + Lurne arm 2 + Moving coil cartridge Supex 900 super + Supex SDT 1000 pre-preamplifier. This turntable (pictures1-5), his tone arm and Supex 900 super (picture 6) and Supex SDT 1000 step transformer (pictures 7 and 8) are in perfect working conditions and come with several accessories including a spare belt, the oil for the tone arm in a syringe, a Decca brush for cleaning LPs and a Supex liquid for cleaning the stylus (pictures 9 and 10), the written instructions of Mr. Lurne himself (the conceptor of the famous Goldmund turntable) to adjust any cartridge (in French, but that I will be very pleased to translate, being fully bilingual, picture 11) and all original packages (pictures 12 and 13). The stylus of the Supex 900 super cartridge is in excellent condition as my Linn Sondek was only used to read brand new LPs (see last paragraph below) and has been reading only about 50 LPs. Most of my recording were made with a Thorens 160 with a SME serie 2 tone arm and a cartridge Shure V15 IV resold decades ago. I am a stereo maniac, with a McIntosh amplifier 7270, McIntosh preamplifier C31V, McIntosh CD player MCD 7007, McIntosh FM tuner MR 7082 connected to an external antenna, Quad ESL 63 Pro electrostatic speakers, Revox B77 reel to reel tape recorder, and Nakamichi 1000 ZXL K7 deck, both tape recorders connected to a DBX 124 noise reduction unit (see pictures 14 and 15). Connectic is by Monster cables, except for the Quads, which are connected to the amplifier by Leedh cables. My listening room is almost perfect with a height of 6.5 m in inverse V (see pictures 16 and 17), and thus with a huge volume. The Quads ESL 63 Pro are perfectly placed at 1.2 m of the back and lateralwalls in stone (0.7 m thick) and distant of 4.5 m. The insulation of the walls on the back of the Quads has been rigidified to avoid any parasite vibration as the Quads function in doublet. There is a specific electric line for the stereo directly from the electric counter. You may notice 1) that the amplifier at the bottom of my rack is sufficiently far away of the other components to avoid any radiation of the monstrous output transformers of the McIntosh amplifier 7270, and 2) that the Quads are on home-made metallic stands. They are filled with sand with cork supports on both the metallic plate bottom of the Quads and on the wooden floor. In my personal opinion the Quad stands are not high enough to get a perfect stereo image for a seated listener. I have plenty of test CDs including the Chesky volumes 1 to 3, plenty of friends who are musicians, and I regularly assist to live concerts of mostly Baroque music, blues and jazz... I had two turntables: This Linn Sondek LP12 operating in my main listening room with an AGI 511 A preamplifier (much better than my present McIntosh preamp for its phono section, already sold recently on eBay). Another secondary stereo system with a turntable Thorens TD 160 (also recently sold on eBay, not the one with the SME tone arm) was in use in my office comprising a Marantz 2225 receiver connected to the external FM antenna, a basic Sony CD player CDP-690, and a pair of French 3A Apogée Monitor speakers (see pictures 18 and 19).

Another secondary stereo system with a turntable Thorens TD 160 (also recently sold on eBay) was in use in my office comprising a Marantz 2225 receiver connected to the external FM antenna, a basic Sony CD player CDP-690, and a pair of French 3A Apogée Monitor speakers (see pictures 18 and 19).

Turntable Linn Sondek LP12 kit Valhalla + Lurne arm 2 + Moving coil cartridge Supex 900 super + Supex SDT 1000 pre-preamplifier. This turntable (pictures1-5), his tone arm and Supex 900 super (picture 6) and Supex SDT 1000 step transformer (pictures 7 and 8) are in perfect working conditions and come with several accessories including a spare belt, the oil for the tone arm in a syringe, a Decca brush for cleaning LPs and a Supex liquid for cleaning the stylus (pictures 9 and 10), the written instructions of Mr. Lurne himself (the conceptor of the famous Goldmund turntable) to adjust any cartridge (in French, but that I will be very pleased to translate, being fully bilingual, picture 11) and all original packages (pictures 12 and 13). The stylus of the Supex 900 super cartridge is in excellent condition as my Linn Sondek was only used to read brand new LPs (see last paragraph below). I am a stereo maniac, with a McIntosh amplifier 7270, McIntosh preamplifier C31V, McIntosh CD player MCD 7007, McIntosh FM tuner MR 7082 connected to an external antenna, Quad ESL 63 Pro electrostatic speakers, Revox B77 reel to reel tape recorder, and Nakamichi 1000 ZXL K7 deck, both tape recorders connected to a DBX 124 noise reduction unit (see pictures 14 and 15). Connectic is by Monster cables, except for the Quads, which are connected to the amplifier by Leedh cables. My listening room is almost perfect with a height of 6.5 m in inverse V (see pictures 16 and 17), and thus with a huge volume. The Quads ESL 63 Pro are perfectly placed at 1.2 m of the back and lateralwalls in stone (0.7 m thick) and distant of 4.5 m. The insulation of the walls on the back of the Quads has been rigidified to avoid any parasite vibration as the Quads function in doublet. There is a specific electric line for the stereo directly from the electric counter. You may notice 1) that the amplifier at the bottom of my rack is sufficiently far away of the other components to avoid any radiation of the monstrous output transformers of the McIntosh amplifier 7270, and 2) that the Quads are on home-made metallic stands. They are filled with sand with cork supports on both the metallic plate bottom of the Quads and on the wooden floor. In my personal opinion the Quad stands are not high enough to get a perfect stereo image for a seated listener. I have plenty of test CDs including the Chesky volumes 1 to 3, plenty of friends who are musicians, and I regularly assist to live concerts of mostly Baroque music, blues and jazz... I had two turntables: This Linn Sondek LP12 operating in my main listening room with an AGI 511 A preamplifier (much better than my present McIntosh preamp for its phono section, already sold recently on eBay). Another secondary stereo system with a turntable Thorens TD 160 (also recently sold on eBay) was in use in my office comprising a Marantz 2225 receiver connected to the external FM antenna, a basic Sony CD player CDP-690, and a pair of French 3A Apogée Monitor speakers (see pictures 18 and 19).
