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,

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

Can you explain what that means? I’m not understanding what you said.

And yet Linn has sold all 250 of these in just a few weeks! One could argue that they priced them way too low!!!
