This is what Art Dudley (now with Stereophile) wrote about the Linn when compared to the VPI Aries/JMW 10 combo in Listener Volume 6 No.
3D * (see " The Audio Press" file for the complete "Rules"). There is even the added bonus of an excellent example of the use of The (Secret) Audio Reviewer's Rule No. *For those skeptical readers who require further confirmation of this characteristic, from an actual, well-known "Linn Lover" no less, you are in for a rare treat. This ploy epitomizes the most cynical and misleading marketing strategies those which turn actual weaknesses into "strengths". This is because "the tune" and "the beat" will always be relatively easier to hear, in comparison to superior turntables, when the natural musical complexities have been compromised (by being subtracted). The Linn actually does "excel" in these areas. This is the reason why Linn, and its dealers, usually stress focusing on the most basic and simple audio goals ("follow the tune" and "PRaT") when it's auditioned. The frequency extremes (especially the bass) are also substandard. The Linn simplifies * and homogenizes the music, and it is also noticeably colored compared to its competitors.
