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??

If Linn utilize the new design aesthetic across the whole LP12 line, I think this is actually a very nice update. Hopefully ,the price of a new plinth with rounded corners will not be ridiculous; but knowing Linn's marketing....:0(

The greatest benefit of a free market is that if you don’t see the value, you don’t have to buy it.  Good luck Linn.  

If you can’t afford one, go for it.

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 😊

Where Linn get the idea that their Anniversary 50th LP12 equates to a $60K price tag is beyond me? 

 

However, like always, they probably figure that there are folk with money to burn who will pony up for this model. This kind of segue ways into my thread in the speaker section wherein I asked, is there a price that a manufacturer can ask that will be too much, resulting in zero sales...seems that there is not???
