This is our Sound Quality Enhancement Kit for the LP12 complete with stage 2 mods. We guarantee it will significantly improve the sound quality of this iconic record deck!
The LP12 Enhancement kit is designed to reduce external noise breakthrough, motor noise, bearing rumble, platter 'ring' and vinyl 'chatter' to provide quieter, more detailed reproduction, and comprises:
1. Platter Damping Ring (PDR). 19mm deep to fit LP12 platter perfectly. This acts as a peripheral wave trap, absorbing vibrations and resonances in the platter and enhancing rotational stability.
2. Tripod Platter Support. Three small discs, which sit between the sub platter and the outer platter decoupling the platter and reducing resonance.
3. Twin Motor Vibration Absorbers (MVA). The LP12 motor sounds at it’s best with two MVA's fitted, top and bottom. These fit tightly round the casing of the motor to reduce vibration which would otherwise be transmitted to the plinth or (via the belt) to the sub-platter.
4. Bearing Damping Rings (BDR). Supplied as a pair, these fit around the main bearing housing, effectively absorbing resonance generated within the bearing, which would otherwise be transmitted into the subchassis via the housing or (even worse) into the sub platter via the spindle.
5. Main Bearing Spindle Support Pad (SSP). High Purity PTFE pad that sits in the main bearing housing eliminating metal to metal contact and consequently reducing bearing noise.
6. Ultimate Turntable Bearing Oil. You have to remove the oil from the main bearing to fit the SSP, so we include a 10ml bottle of oil with the kit. This is the best bearing oil available - known to Audiophiles as 'Black Oil' it contains Molybdenum Disulfide and Graphite. Makes the turntable bearing quieter, more efficient and drastically reduces wear.
7. Adjustable Motor Thrust Bearing. Performs better than any factory fitted thrust pad as it allows the motor spindle to run on a lubricated 4mm hardened steel ball, dramatically reducing motor noise. Fully adjustable with the allen key provided, this will eliminate any ‘ticking’ noise from the motor.
The kit comes with comprehensive instructions, and we guarantee you will be amazed at the sound quality improvement. It is easy to fit - you should have it up and running within the hour.
We have sold hundreds of our sound quality enhancement kits (and thousands of the individual items included in them) and have had absolutely tremendous feedback from users - they really do work. For more detailed descriptions of all of these items, or to buy them individually, visit our ebay store:
Hi-Fi Choice Magazine October 2004
'Remember LP player tweaking? It was once all the rage, and now it’s back with this neat little kit. Details vary slightly depending on turntable (kits are available for Linn, Rega, Thorens and Dual) but basically you get damping rings to fit the platter and motor and a ‘thrust bearing’ assembly which is glued to the motor’s underside. The idea is to lift the spindle slightly and thus reduce motor noise, which with the standard Philips motor used by most manufacturers was always a problem. Assembly is pretty simple and the results amply justify the cost and trouble: a sample Rega gained an impressive amount of extra detail, easily equivalent to a major cartridge upgrade. Highly Recommended.'
Customer Testimonials
" Everything is up and running and I would have to say the difference is staggering." R.P. (UK)
" Linn sounds sweeter and more detailed than before." K.S. (Germany)
" I've tried the products and find that the LP12 accessories are not really accessories more like neccessities. The reduction in surface noise and increase in detail is astonishing.The bass in retrospect might have been a bit muddled but has now tightened up considerably letting me hear more mid and treble.This is really noticeable playing a record like 'LIVE AT LEEDS' by JOHN MARTYN. Danny Thomsons bass notes are much more clearly defined and as a result JOHN MARTYNS guitar work and vocals are much easier to hear, the detail's amazing, the soundstaging being so much better. In fact i've been listening to quite a lot of music featuring Danny Thomson, one being 'The colour of Spring' by Talk Talk. I thought this record was knackered until I washed it, now it sounds absolutely marvellous. Thanks again Stuart." D.H. (UK)
