Even a Linn LP12 sold in 1973 can be brought to current production standard. And with 150,000 LP12's in circulation, Linn has incentive to continue to improve the LP12. Linn is a substantial company with 150 to 200 employees, far larger than practically any other current turntable manufacturer. Linn has implemented a succession plan as Ivor Tiefenbrun's son now runs the company. So, the company appears to be here to stay, something that a much smaller company has a harder time assuring.
An LP12 with Cirkus bearing, Keel subchassis, Radikal motor and power supply and Ekos SE tonearm is a very high quality turntable, something toward which one can build if starting with the humbler Majik LP12. So as one's financial ability improves during a lifetime, the LP12 offers ways to improve, too.
