Linn BASIK Turntable User Manual


 
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.
