The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition

Linn have just announced their 50th anniversary edition LP12. See here:linn.co.uk/us/

The price is going to be starting at $60K.

Looks nice, but the price, like so much in the industry these days, seems to be what they used to call ' a thumb suck' number.

Thoughts??

Hopefully ,the price of a new plinth with rounded corners will not be ridiculous; but knowing Linn's marketing....:0(

To me, there is nothing appealing about this TT that can justifies its tag price of $60K even if I have money to burn! IMHO, there are much better options out there in $60K range or below that are primed for bragging rights 😊
