GENERAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION

TRACKING WEIGHT & BIAS

Every arm and cartridge combination has an optimum tracking weight which your dealer will have advised you of.

RECORD CLEANING

Most record cleaning devices do more harm than good. The best method of cleaning records is to lot the stylus remove any dirt in the groove, then clean the stylus.

STYLUS CLEANING

It is important that the stylus is kept scrupulously clean. We have found that dry vibrating pad cleaners work well. Alternatively, Linn dealers can supply cleaning paper which is easy to use and gives excellent results.

CLEAN CONTACTS

Electrical contacts in a hi-fi system must be kept mechanically sound and clean. A poor contact between the cartridge and arm will degrade performance. Checks on all contacts should be performed periodically.

INTERCONNECT LEADS

We recommend and supply good quality copper cable for interconnect leads and advise 4mm so multicore copper cable, such as Linn K20, for speaker leads.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Speakers should be positioned correctly and should be mounted on rigid stands which are sitting firmly on the floor and not rocking.

NOTE Linn speakers are designed to be placed close to the wall

TRANSPORTATION

Always keep all the packing for your BASIK turntable.

When transporting the BASIK turntable, remove the counterweight from the arm, remove the arm from the plinth, remove the inner platter from the bearing housing and place it in its position in the packing. Replace the bearing cap to prevent oil spillage.

If the deck is to be shipped anywhere it is important to pack it properly in the original packing, otherwise damage will occur.
