I started with a pre-Nirvana model in 1979, and the last update I got was the Lingo, which improved the bass of the LP12 quite noticably - most of the Linn "bloom" was gone, and is replaced by a much tighter bottom end. I haven't bothered with the Trampolinn or Cirkus or anything since.
Did you actually get the Lingo, or was it the first upgrade you passed on?

My ATCs replaced a pair of passive Isobariks and Naim 135s, and I've been delighted with them ever since. The ATCs simply annihilated the 'Bariks. I've still got the LP12 and Naim preamp - they are used for vinyl transfers. You mentioned that Linn's service costs are reasonable. So are ATC's: the triamp packs in my SCM100As were fully serviced a couple of years ago (including replacement of all electrolytics) at the ATC factory for a total cost of £150. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38815
