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??

I think the 50th anniversary LP12 is great- finally redesigned the hinges which is something that should have been done long ago. 

The rest of it- whatever floats your boat 

So, are the hinges retrofittable and if so, what is the cost on the hinges?

@zavato   Even if the hinges are retrofittable, do you want to pay the kind of cost that Linn would have in mind for a better solution to hold up your lid??? Since I only use the lid for a way to protect the table from dust when not in use, personally I would see little to no value in improving on it. YMMV.

I’m in the market for a pair of Linn Axis hinges that actually can keep the dustcover up if anyone knows of such a thing available.

@daveyf I can always hope that the hinges are merely ridiculously priced and not delusionally priced
