The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition

So half the production already sold? Good news for Linn! There will always be some really expensive shiny new toy to catch the eye of some new dot.com millionaire! Too bad it can't be worn on the wrist!

For $65K here on Agon you can buy a Caliburn Continuum DD TT with Cobra arm and Castellon stand. A way better choice than the new LP12!

It's a lot to pay for Linn's interpretation of a Panzerholz plinth and a fancy button and hinges.

$60k for an LP12? Well that’s fine by me, I’m just curious as to how long it will take Ivor to offer expensive ’upgrades’ to this TT.

BTW: My 39 year old Heybrook TT2 has metal hinges.

So that this is not taken in the wrong light, I am a fan of the LP12 table, and I own one.

However, I fail to understand the value of new hinges and a new shaped button or logo? I never use my lid for anything but a dust cover to be used only when the table is NOT in use. To add $30k for the benefit of a different plinth ( assuming there is even a benefit) and for the different shape of the sub chassis and power button, plus the “exclusive “ badging, makes zero sense to me.

The crazy thing is, Linn has apparently sold 120 of these 50th Anniv models already, which tells me that there are quite a few ‘unaware’ folk out there…with more money than sense, imho.
