STYLUS CLEANING It is important that the stylus is kept scrupulously clean. The
traditional soft stylus brush is completely useless. We have found dry vibrating pad
cleaners to be effective devices. Alternatively Linn Dealers can supply cleaning
paper which is easy to use and gives excellent results.
TRACKING WEIGHT AND BIAS
Correct tracking and weight bias: every arm and
cartridge combination has an optimum tracking weight. This easily set by ear.
Increments of 0.1g can produce significant differences. Test records are of no use in
establishing this. Temperature can alter this value, which will be lower in hot weather
and higher in cold.
CLEAN CONT
ACTS It is important that the electrical contacts in a hi-fi system are
kept mechanically sound and clean. A poor contact, especially at the first connection
in the system between the cartridge and the arm will degrade the signal substantially.
Check on all contacts should be performed periodically.
INTER CONNECT LEADS
The correct cables should be used. We recommend and
supply good quality copper cable for interconnect leads and advise 4mm sq.
multicore copper cable, such as Linn K20, for speaker leads.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The speakers should be positioned correctly (Linn
speakers are designed to be placed close to the wall) and they should be mounted on
rigid stands which are sitting very firmly on the floor and should not be subject to any
rocking movement.
RECORD CLEANING
Most record cleaning devices do more harm than good. We
feel the best method is to let the stylus remove any dirt which may be in the
groove, then clean the stylus.
