@ghdprentice Your post makes sense, except it might assume that there is no direct competition for the Linn 50th at its asking price. Problem is, at least IME, there is competition at and slightly above this price point that will put the Linn to shame. On another forum, i mentioned that I recently heard a super nice Basis Inspiration with the Superarm 9 arm...similar piece point ( albeit the Basis was slightly higher, but not that much) and the Basis was in an entirely different league to any LP12 I have ever heard. The new SME 60 also is at this LP12's price point, I know which one i would entertain, and it is NOT the LP12.
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??
