"I've never heard a Linn but I'm sure..." Taking everyone's word that the Ariston is a Linn in other clothing, I can say that simply replacing the 20 year old springs and bolts made a substantial difference in the "balance" of sound. And the Dynavector 10X5 reveals the good and bad of recordings, 'Spirit'. Great group. Can't say enough about Joni's 'Miles Of Aisles'; one of the great live recordings of anything. I'll be at a record ahow Sat morning surrounded by all the obsolete and dead vinyl of music unobtainable on CD unless at 2 and 3 times the price. "12 dollars? You overpaid for that Sonny Rollins." Right, and $18 for a CD is a good deal, right?
