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.

@cleeds

l never actually said that you can’t ask questions if you own a LP12…..that would be illogical !

l never actually said that

I quoted you accurately. Literally cut-and-paste.

@cleeds 

You may have cut-and-paste but there’s nothing in there that says (I say) if something is owned you can’t ask questions.

You may have cut-and-paste ...

I quoted you accurately using cut-and-paste. You seem to get uncomfortable when your arguments are quoted and questioned. Perhaps you are just looking for an argument.

@cleeds 

l just can’t see the argument in your cut-and-paste, tried to see it from your perspective…it’s maybe lost in translation here.

l’m not arguing here, you are. Please educate me with this wisdom.
 

l for one like a nice debate.
