Michell Focus One Turntable / Linn Basik Plus Tonearm

Michell Focus One Turntable
With sales growing steadily, it was decided to introduce an entry-level product so that the Michell brand could reach out to a wider audience. The Focus One consisted of a simple plinth suspended on sprung feet. The improved ‘S’ version followed quickly and was fitted with an improved drive system and heavy aluminium platter.
The Focus One Turntable represents the very latest in record player engineering techniques and is designed to complement the finest high fidelity reproducing equipment. The complete unit is free standing on adjustable acoustic feedback legs.
The baseboard of the Focus One turntable is pre-cut for mounting the SME arms and adaptor plates are available for the fitting of most high quality tone-arms.

Linn Basic Plus Tonearm
The Linn Basik Plus and Basik LV-X were designed according to many of the same criteria as the Linn Ittok LV-II. The Basik arms are intended to provide substantially better performance than has heretofore been available in a moderately priced tonearm, and will outperform arms which are vastly more expensive. They are the obvious choice for use on the Linn Sondek turntable, where monetary or other considerations preclude the use of the Ittok. They mount on the same armboard template as the Ittok, making a later upgrade extremely easy. They are also compatible with most transcription turntables, but it is well to remember that the turntable is by far the most important component. In our experience a Linn Basik tonearm with its original cartridge mounted on a Linn Sondek turntable will outperform a Linn Ittok tonearm with an Asak cartridge, mounted on any other turntable.
The Basik arms incorporate full gimbal ball bearings, and a large diameter straight arm tube. The Basik Plus utilizes a non-detachable headshell. The Basik LV-X incorporates a special detachable headshell which uses a C-clamping arrangement. This approach allows the headshell junction to be almost as rigid as a non-detachable type, at the cost of a slight increase of the effective mass of the arm.
The Basik Arms are suitable for use with a wide range of magnetic cartridges. The Basik Plus, with its more rigid non-detachable headshell, is suitable for use with a variety of moving coil cartridges.
