Why so many linn lp12s for sale

As I said above, I am going to keep my LP12. But ........

I am having a new Technics SL1200G modded to take a new Triplanar tonearm. The Lyra Kleos that has had 60-70, maybe 80 hours put on it ( on my Linn) was just sent an hour ago by FedEx to have it mounted on the new Technics / Triplanar rig.

I plan to do a shoot out with Tom O’keefe at Ovature in Ann Arbor, MI.

I have heard that the full Linn rig is really good. It better be. I weighed the cost of updating the Linn vs a new Technics / Triplanar rig. The Linn lost there.

Just my Opinion at this point; I do Not think the Linn arm can take on the Triplanar arm. Also, I think the Radikal PS “might” compete with the Technics but If you lose by a “Nose” ; you lose.

We will find out in the near future, Tom and I are both up for this shoot out.

The Linn and the Technics are two different animals.  both have their virtues 

Life moves on .....and so does Linn

Have you guys seen what Linn is charging for a new LP12? Has to be the biggest rip off in audio today. 

invictus005, have you been looking at what other manufacturer’s are charging in this hobby?? There are numerous tables out there that are far more expensive than a fully outfitted Linn. Many of these TT's fail to hold a candle to the SQ of the Linn.
Look at some of the cabling prices in this hobby...and you claim that the Linn folks are the biggest rip off artists????
