Not too long ago I auditoned a souped-up LP12 against an equally maxed-out Basis 2001 Signature.
The verdict: Basis 2001 - which was more refined and quieter. The Linn, on the other hand, sounded thin - more like CDs. (I've heard the older LP12s are warmer, albeit, not very balanced.)
But people still buy them! Go figure.
Cheers,
George
