What is the exact bit type and size required for removing the two set screws on the casing (and the internal screws)?

Very detailed presentation, thanks!

I like this brand of speakers, but I don’t care for the active speakers. I rather have the passive bookshelf speakers in this brand which I haven’t been able to find so hopefully I will cause I would like to hear how they sound.

The switch really kills the design. Try to fix the soundtrack to the video, it is completely off.

I owned the Linn jig and did my own maintenance, its not rocket science like some Linnies would have you believe. Its actually a rather simple device.

I'm looking for an alternative to the cocktailaudio X45. I found her!

That was excellent. Well done.

You're the first one explaining the Linn LP12 Upgrade Options in detail. I've upgraded to Lingo 4 in 2023 and in 2024 there was a promotion to upgrade the chassis plus Karousel which was performed by my dealer. The recommendation for the last upgrade was to run an 200 hours running-in period. I can say the upgrades made siginificant changes in playing LP's from a sound point of view. Take care and have a great time. Martin

Thanks for a super Video. I've enjoyed how you performed with passion the different upgrade steps. Subscribed from Southern Germany

Thank you for the video. Excellent production. You are the audiophile version of a surgeon. As I look across the room at my 80's Linn, I fear I've missed the boat for those type of upgrades. Nice to dream though. Subscribed from Australia.

i'm interested by the prices of all this components

What an unbelievably stupid product

Thank you for the video, helped me step by step install my new utopik psu.

Based on your experience with respect to the Linn cartridges having a Krystal in use at an Ekos SE tonearm: would you recommend the Kendo or save more money and shoot for the Ekstatik? Where is the bigger sound quality delta, from Krystal to Kendo or from Kendo to Ekstatik? Cheers Andi

50K though?

Thank you sir for your tutorial…much appreciated from USA…I recently purchased Muranos and am considering pairing with Abyss.

Aah...Cabasse...great products! 🥰👌

I would be very interested to know what was the final upgrade cost in UK ££££££

Can this be used as a pre amp/hub with active speakers from another manufacturer? Are the outputs true balanced?

Great information 🙏 I’m surprised Linn would put a Phono Preamp in a table. Most spending that kind of money wouldn’t be going for a Preamp at that level. Wonder what their logic was for that decision.

Brilliant, Love that colour. 🫡

Did you really say Radio four play at 14.05 😂😂

If you question replacing parts after 40 years you’re in the wrong hobby. You toss a car after 10 years but a mechanical device in the home should last forever. 🤔

Brilliant 🫡

Amazing, didn’t realize there was so many upgrades. I’ll have to look into some of these. 🫡

Just about to get an sr25 Mkii - but just wondering if the tidal work around is still required (if all the latest firmware is installed)and if yes what version of tidal do I need to get it functioning properly?- also for Apple Music do u just need to install the app?

Great video!

Good day, I'm racking my brains what is better to buy Cabasse Murano and Cabasse Abyss All-In-One in a pair, or Cabasse Rialto what will sound better and louder, please tell me? Thank you

Nice video, the custom colour of the speakers are lush

does linn have a house "sound"? is it warm? analytical? could you try to describe?

what kind of frequency response can you expect? its a big secret with linn

I have the Abyss, it sounds incredibly good for a Class D amplifier, and the streamer is solid, I find it better than the BlueSound Node N130. I have my Abyss paired with the Murano bookshelf speakers and a trio of REL T-Zero subwoofers. The room correction works, very happy with that. Again, the sound is more Class A/B to my ear, they did a very good job here. The software could be improved, it is not that intuitive when compared to others, but I am getting it figured out. The software is at least stable, no issues there other than one major issue I will get to. Streaming, Tidal is via Tidal Connect, which is annoying. Qobuz works seamlessly in the Cabasse app, very happy with that. Those are the only two I use. Connections, at this price, a pair of XLR would have been nice. The TV HDMI, no clue what that does, it does nothing functional that I can tell. I had to use an optical SPDIF to connect to my TV. My niggles, there is yet to be full Roon certification, so if you use Roon, you are stuck with AirPlay. The Abyss needs Roon certification, I cannot believe they are not there yet. Then the elephant in the room... THERE IS NO REMOTE CONTROL! This NEEDS a remote control, I hate using my phone or an iPad to control volume. And this is where the software has issues. My volume control jumps, it is not smooth on either my iPhone or iPad. I thought I blew my speakers when it jumped all the way to full volume. This is a deal killer in my book, and I wish I would have known that before purchasing. I am seriously considering returning this, but I will more than likely keep it. Why keep it? Well, it sounds incredibly good, and I have wanted another Class D amp in the house since selling my last one. I am using my preamp and Volumio Rivo streamer out to the Abyss so that I have volume control for now, and a useable Class D amplifier. I will order a iPad remote for volume control and see how that goes, they sell them on Amazon. Then, if this ever gets Roon certification, which they say they are working on, this will take the sound quality to another level and may be worth recommending. So, there you have it. If you are looking for a standalone unit like this, I would look elsewhere due to the remote issue, but that is just me.

Thanks for the video. The adjustment of the tonearm was not shown unfortunately. I would be grateful for instructions on that. Also just a curiosity question - how did you adjust to 33 1/3 rpm ? My thought is to use a scope. Also what weight does the tonearm need to be at? Thanks

Very interesting, very well put together. Which of the 10 configurations is your favourite for sound quality?

Thanks for this video! You are lifesaver!

This is a really great video, lots of good ideas...! In the end I was able to solve my problem by using Linux Reader on Windows, although depending on your use case, this might be the perfect solution. Cheers

I wanted a Linn Sondek LP12 for many years until I saw one at the dealer. The on/off button was crocked and made me feel that this brand is way overpriced. But heir marketing department are very very clever because they can get enthusiasts to pay enormous amounts of money on something that should have been in in the decks from the start. I got the feel that I could make a LP12 myself just from bits and pieces from the shed. I got myself a Technics SL-1200G instead. Sorry Linn.

all that money and the mains goes in on an iec connector like a kettle.......

29:30 The moment this gets silly.

Hi is there a Linn dealer in Leicester 🇬🇧

Excellent video. Thank you. When I visit APKMirror I can only find Tidal on bundles. Could you advise please?

Do you need a subwoofer for rock?

ASMR for oldies - love it

Looks like a great speaker. I’m just not crazy about the big base, that many speakers have adopted. Just not nice looking to me, compared to the KEF R7 feet or the built in base in my Thiel CS2’s….just saying. Thanks for the update.

@ripcaster I am curious… could you share which number turntable this was, and was it just delivered (or was this recorded some time ago)?

I am assuming that this was designed with a pair of passive Linn 360s in mind. Just curious what would be better, to integrate the entire system into the speakers or having the DAC sit in the Klimax DSM and the amp outside the speakers.

I have the following... Majik Isobarik (2011) Akurate System Hub Akurate Exaktbox-I8 Can I replace both my System Hub and Exaktbox-I with a single Selekt DSM configured with Utopik power supply, and Organik DACs, with 8-channels of amplification, and still be Exakt ? If so, what would be the approx cost for such a Selekt DSM ?

Can you please verify if you can install amplifier modules in there as well and a DAC? I would assume though that you could not go Aktiv is that's the case.

What are the differences between the 2018 classic model and the new model beside the new headphone socket and the subwoofer out?
