Linn LP12 turntable

There is an engraved with Ivor Tiefenbrun signature 25 year anniversary edition SME tonearm, Majik power supply on eBay for just over $4k. I can only imagine the long term depreciation of this 50 year anniversary model. 
I am not sure why, but the internal phono stage for both the 50th anniversary & Klimax does Analog to digital conversions. I am sure they have their reasons, but not something I would ever want… regardless of how well done, turntables & phono stages should be pure analog IMHO. 

don't get me started on the Jony Ive 60K turntable. There were so many things wrong with the LP12, thank god he fixed it

The old saying……

‘It is easy to part a fool from his money!’

Springs to mind Tulip Mania (Dutch tulpenmanie)

The golden age of collectable bulbs began in 1634 and reached extraordinary levels of fashion and became a form of currency. ‘The Emperors Clothes’ story all over again because in 1637 the tulip prices dramatically collapsed. Fortunes were wiped out and peoples lives ruined.

This may not bode well for Deluxe, Anniversary, Special Edition (or however you want to dress it up) LP12 owners l fear.

Thats my logic by what has been posted lately.

I strongly doubt anyone who stepped up for the 50 year LP12 will be financially devastated even if the resale value goes to zero. Relax, guys.

True to form.

l have always found it to be very profitable to be just behind a self titled audiophile (is as good as it gets) and snap up the bargain second hand equipment.

Wow….that is logical!
