Re: (in)FAMOUS SLURPS
Not a single customer review. Wonder if they actually sold any.

Beats me that anyone with half a brain could fall for any of these. Are the buyers, if there are any, senile?

Re: (in)FAMOUS SLURPS
Go ask MikeMusic and MartinT if they are senile
This is the sort of stupidity they have bought.

In 2017 a new Linn LP12 motor and pulley was approx. £99 and apparently now £180!..how can that be justified?

Re: (in)FAMOUS SLURPS
Damn, I will have to be more careful, I left my LP12 running for a couple of days last week (arm lifted thankfully). I was wondering how much a new motor would cost, although everything seems ok.

Ive just bought a brand new one for a Rega £52.. All you need is a Pulley Extractor.

Re: (in)FAMOUS SLURPS
Have any of these characters put forward any scientific measurements or explanations as to how these gizmos actually work?
I realise NVA kit is a bit off-the-wall, but at least there's a sound scientific basis to the designs.

Re: (in)FAMOUS SLURPS
The motor is apparently derived from an electric clock motor of old, so a few thousand hours without maintenance shouldn't be beyond it... The bearings are get-at-able to lubricate if you're worried (not sure what Rega/Linn suggest these days but Signals may be able to supply a tiny quantity needed if you provide a small syringe with large-bore needle. The belt pulling and thrust bits underneath should prevent wear or slop in the bushes ever really being an issue.
Linn do a good job making their motor pulleys so of course you have to contribute to the lathe that turns them up and the person/tooling needed to fit it to the motor spindle - no superglue here as Rega use
While the sheeple with money buy into the LP12, it'll keep going up in price. Once demand stops being viable, they'll discontinue it methinks.

Re: (in)FAMOUS SLURPS
Elac AM 200 Active speakers released in late 2016 £530. Today £995.
Having been a happy user of Elac speakers for years I considered buying these until the price piss-take occured.

NVA amps, speakers, interconnects & speaker cables produce the music.
