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.
Linn LP12 turntable
I was in my favorite audio store yesterday talking turntables… Rega P10, MoFi MasterDeck etc, when he stated he had a Linn LP12 he was selling for a customer at $2,400 & the customer had $14K (with upgrades) into it. Intriguing, but knew nothing about Linn. After my research, people seem to love it or hate it. But it is installed in many fine audiogon systems.
I would like your thoughts and recommendations.
I have asked the following questions of the dealer:
1. Date of production
2. Upgrades that have been added
3. Power supply / tone arm
4. Condition
5. Recently serviced
I have not yet seen it, but it is there now. What other questions should I ask?
My current analog system:
Pro-ject 1xpression carbon classic with Hana ML
Rega Aria
PS Audio BHK pre
Simaudio Moon 330A amp
KEF R11’s
Advise would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the before and after photos. https://i.postimg.cc/Bn9jHG7v/IMG-0249.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/43Xn2Qgk/IMG-4074.jpg On the subject of plinths, Linn have just launched the Bedrok from their LP12-50 for all LP12s. It’s now available for a mere £8,750. By the way, the LP12s with conversion from analogue to digital sound amazing. That’s because they significantly reduce the distortion, noise and interference that arises in analogue RIAA processing, pre-amplifiers and potentially crossovers. |
