Is the Lp12 best for Naim?

Posted by: faz on 31 January 2004

The usual tt for a Naim owner seems to be an LP12 and I guess this is because there is a certain amount of synergy between the Linn and Naim products.I'm looking at replacing my ageing Systemdek IIX/RB250 with something better.Is the Linn really the best way forward? Some of the reviews I've read are none too complimentary about the Lp12 but I wonder if this is because they've used non Naim amplification.I was thinking about upgrading the Systemdek with an OL motor kit but the vibe seems to be to go for the LP12.

Setted today a new lp12 for a customer with full Equipment (Lingo;Ekos,new akiva,Linto,Trampolin)mechanical very good;great prat ,but is linto akiva electrical the right thing to go in an naim integrated or preamp? for me it sounded a little bit pushy.looking also for a big Turntable and am interested in what eXperienced people think about this? personally never tried cartridges and Phono Stages from dynavector or naim prefix phonostage.Has anybody tried?(specially in connex Lp12- naim amp).
