Unfortunately, your suggestion is not really a practical proposition with the Linn chassis - not if one intends to use the same geometry for the springs at any rate. The spring that sees by far the most load is the one by the arm - if the others were loaded in a similar manner the stock springs would be in serious danger of being overly compressed. Moving the positioning of the springs would require (at the least) a new top plate and even then stiffer springs would almost certainly be required (this is also likely to impact upon the horizontal compliancy of the system - a very important factor). |

Yeah - it's probably better that only 33% of the springs are overly compressed ...

Plus it has to be a 100% drop in replacement for the Linn original. No other changes should be required.

Prototype design finalised. Small engineering shop will soon be CNC machining the first few ones.....I'm excited.
Hopefully Keel+ performance with Keel-- price. |

Some folks lined up for prototype evaluation. First reviews in a month (ish).

I hope 'Rubikon' is not going to be the name.

I'm not a big Caesar fan; regardless what I hear is 'Kon', which doesn't seem a totally positive first reaction.
But I'm not a marketeer... Paul |

DXF files supplied to CNC company.
Hopefully this will get made this week and listened to at the weekend ![]() FWIW the CNC company looked at the Klone/Keel and reckoned they could make those for sub £100 in batches, the RubiKon is more to make! BUT we think that the RubiKon is actualy a more elegent solution to the LP12 subchassis than either of those. If it sounds better than the Keel................. ...............form a queue for the first batch of 20! The fit and finish will be exemplary and we will supply some nice accessories with the RubiKon to make the buying and owning experience first class. It will be made for Linn mountings first but an Aro mount will follow. andrew dot popely at audioflat dot co dot uk or PM Last edited by flatpopely; 16-11-09 at 02:40 AM. |

Good luck with your venture Andrew. I'm glad to hear it's not a copy of any other sub-chassis currently available. Interestingly, since I've upgraded my preamp I've found that tighter armboard screws are better with the Sole sub-chassis than with them just nipped up. Strange world innit?

Yes, there is nothing like it on the market. We could have easily copied the Keel but thats a current product of Linns and therefore a bad thing to do from an ethical point of view. We actually believe it will sound better than a Keel, lets see what the listening this weekend brings!!! Andrew |
