Alison and I flew out of Heathrow on British Airways at 11.00am and arrived in San Francisco at 2.00pm local time. In actual fact it was 11 hours later! We spent an interesting two days exploring San Francisco and acclimatising before heading north about 50 miles to the Santa Rosa area where my first client lives.

I thought it was about time to share some details and initial impressions about the new Radikal/2 upgrade which was launched by Linn Products Ltd at the end of October. All Radikals can be updated with this kit through a Linn retailer such as ourselves and we here at Cymbiosis have both versions set up on two otherwise identical Linn Sondek LP12s for clients to compare for themselves!

For anyone sat at home looking for something to do during the ongoing coronavirus crisis, Linn are hosting a selection of virtual events, which you may be interested in engaging with.

The first events are listed here and there will be more to follow, which we will post here for you when available.

Flying out of a rather wet and windy Heathrow airport on the 25th of January just seven hours later we were in sunny and relatively warm Dubai.

This was the first port of call and en route to Hong Kong we were able to stop for a few days, take in some of the sites and service one of my client’s Signature LP12s along with fitting and commissioning a new Urika 2 for him.
