8 January 2007 - Installation of Power Supply Unit |
 |

The LP12 comes with no power supply unit which has to be separately installed. The exotic Lingo PSU is the ultimate choice but it digs deep into your wallet. |
¡@ |
The next choice from Linn is the Vanhalla Power Control Card for installation underneath the deck but it is out of production and can only be obtained 2nd hand. I have this one to spare and anyone interested can contact me. |

| Until recently we are glad to have the alternative option - The Hercules Power Control Card designed specially for LP12. It is a 3rd party product but the best alternative to the Lingo PSU. | ¡@ | The layout is adopted from the Vanhalla but components used are of higher grade and durability. Installation is simple plug in with the motor wires go into one terminal and the power cable the other. Here I have not installed the power cable yet. |

| Comparison of the Hercules and the Vanhalla. The Hercules has 2 crystals for controlling playback speed of 45rpm and 33rpm. The Vanhalla has only 33rpm control. | ¡@ | The electronic components used in the Hercules are of a higher grade. |

| The 45 and 33 rpm power switch of the Hercules. Red LED indicates 33rpm and blue LED indicates 45rpm. This dual control is only available from the Lingo PSU. | ¡@ | The Vanhalla has only the 33 rpm switch as seen from its single LED switch |

| Now this is the original Linn armboard for SME tonearm. | ¡@ | And this is the SME IV that is going to be installed on the LP 12. It is now sitting on a Thorens 126 Mk II TT. The cartridge is Ortofon Rohman. |
