I don’t know why people keep saying that the Linn easily goes out of adjustment. Once properly set up, the setup should last for years. However, the Linn is VERY sensitive to footfalls and if you have springy floors, it will skip if you look at it the wrong way. I had to put in a wall shelf, which worked wonderfully. That said, if you’re not overly curious about anything else, the Linn can certainly last for many years, as all components are replaceable and upgradeable. I would not suggest buying a Linn unless you know a good setup person, as setup is tricky. OTOH, Basis turntables were designed to be set up properly by anyone with reasonably decent turntable skills. Something to think about. I replaced my Linn with a Basis, which I prefer, but I certainly could have lived with the Linn. It's a classic.
