I'm just going to reiterate what I said elsewhere; You're paying for an industrial artist's work, not improved performance. I never heard of him until this new Linn turntable and I'm not an Apple person. Frankly it looks cheap in the photos. You know, if Banksy designed and signed an Ion or Crosley table it could sell for a hundred grand and they all would sell.
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??

Dear @daveyf : As people say here in my country:
" Achieve fame and go to " sleep " "
Lamm is other example and nothing wrong with because manufacturers stay in the audio market for busines$$ as more the better always that been/be audiophiles to pay their audio items. It's a well defined market game, especially in audio " high end " niche.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
60k for an airpax motor turntable… if it were milled from titanium it still won’t be worth that with a markup. The LP12 is a fine deck and deserves its place in audio history. The best LP12’s I have heard are by The Funk Firm and Vinyl Passion and they come out waaaaaayyyyyyy less than £60k. It’s this idiocy that leads to the gradual demise of the audio industry |
