Illuminati (13th Degree)

Any Linn owners on board? I have owned mine for about 12 years, I decided it was getting old and bought an Aries used with the 10 inch arm. Sold the Aries and went back to the Linn, slow, fat bloated bass and all. Something about them. Any opinions on Direct dr. vs. belt? I know lots who think DD is verboten but I have heard some older Denons that sounded pretty good, the ones with the S-shaped arm. Also I am thinking about rebuilding my old Fidelity Research cart. MC 202. Anyone ever had an old MC done? My humble opinion the VPI jr. is best value in TT since you can upgrade so cheaply. They sound nice and full without that chintzy two dimensional sound lots of lower priced tables seem to exhibit. Weisfeld will sell the bearing and platter so nothing to stop you from building a platform and using an old TT motor. Stream of concious to avoid working today.
