In Reply to: Thought I'd be buying a power amp, but NOOOO... Speed control issue with my DIY FrankenLinn. posted by Dman on April 8, 2015 at 12:00:03:
Three years ago, I installed the Hercules II in my Linn Axis. The original had been destroyed twice by a power line spike and I wasn't about to spend money to fix it again.
Installing the Hercules was fairly straightforward and took perhaps two to three hours. I only checked the speed with a strobe but it was spot on.
The sound was somehow fuller, there was more "there" there. Bass had slightly more impact but was in no way boomy.
I'm a happy camper. There's another advantage in that, unlike the original Linn PSU, the Hercules does not turn the motor on when the power returns after a power failure.
