ENGINEERING YOU CAN VERIFY
Designed around the behaviour of the complete turntable.
Speed stability is affected by the motor, belt, bearing, temperature and stylus drag. Valhalla controllers are engineered to manage these real-world variables—not simply produce a nominal platter speed.

Installation was extremely simple and straight forward and took very little time at all. After running the initial set up which was clearly defined and set out, my LP12 was playing at 33 and 45rpm and showing as such on the digital display to within 3 decimal points – 33.333 and 45.000
Absolutely delighted with the upgrade to my rather ancient but perfectly performing early Linn LP12 / Grace G707 arm and Pickering cartridge combo. Speed is perfectly controlled at both 33.33 and 45 rpm and is clearly evident when listening – a relatively straightforward DIY proposition at a great price point and a superb service from Valhalla Electronics – what more can you ask?
Functioned out of the box exactly as described – it’s rock solid at both 33 and 45 RPM and my deck has never been quieter. I can honestly say I’ve not played as many records in years as I have since I fitted it.
I bought the Zeus internal controller to replace an aging external Lingo 2 power supply. The ancient Lingo was not providing proper voltages and the RPMs at 33 and 45 RPM were slightly off. Updating to a Lingo 4 or a Linn Radikal would have been extremely expensive, and options in the U.S. were limited. The turntable is now spinning at the speeds 33.33 and 45.00. Since I went with the internal Zeus setup, I have the added bonus of now having one less box cluttering the countertop next to the LP12. This upgrade gets my highest recommendation!!
Although my Linn Valhalla board was only re-capped about 4 yrs back there was a huge audio upgrade from that with the Zeus. Everything I have always loved about the LP12 from this deck’s era is still there but largely improved . Timing now spot on and a huge improvement in musicality. I have been playing and loving music more in the last few days than i have for many years.
