Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best?

Sell your table. Buy a VPI Classic.

What I like most about these LP12 'SOTA' guys, they really believe what they talk. And when I listen to their Systems it is so far away from SOTA that I really always ask myself, hey, is it really so difficult to l-i-s-t-e-n ?
The answer is: yes

Syntax, have you heard the latest itineration of the LP12/ Radikal?
If not, then maybe you are jumping to conclusions, no?
BTW, are you a dealer?

Daveyf, you are correct, and you can listen to the differences without seeing a dealer. I believe it's on the Linn forum(you might have to search elsewhere on the Internet.). The main reason(if you can believe it) I got the Linn was to eliminate too many variables. I'm getting older, and didn't want to mess with too many things. They are still in business, with a lot of feedback about the table. The Oracle was a downgrade(in my mind)from version I to II. The SOTA was uninvolving. My Ariston was not supported(BTW my tweakings had me interested in a wobbly motor, which only Roksan has taken up.). A few of those companies went out of business for at least a while.

Daveyf, yes I listened to all of them, the LP12 with Keel, Ekos SE etc. compared in the same System to another full loaded LP12, I was in so many Linn Demos that I would like to have some money for visiting them in future.
Lots of years ago I was interested in one of those, because full loaded ones were very cheap 2. hand, I compared them in Dealer shops among themselves and after a while I knew the reason.
I am not a Dealer. Just a regular customer.
