A long time ago, a Linn turntable was considered to be the top of the heap. Now, in the midst of a major vinyl revival, they are lucky to sell even 500 tables a year. They make much more selling "updates" to their older tables which maybe weren't so good after all.
Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy?
Opinions, experiences, cartridges and preamps used?

"While recent sales of new turntables have been between 300 and 700 per year, Linn tells us the higher proportion of sales is attributed to upgrades. Owners can send their decades-old LP12 to the Linn factory to be upgraded to current day specification – yes, even those purchased over 40 years ago. www.whathifi.com/features/making-linn-sondek-lp12 With such a small yearly production, I am not surprised there are so few dealers and that Linn has taken over their distribution in the US. Technics makes more turntables in two weeks than Linn makes in a year! www.whathifi.com/features/the-making-of-technics-sl-1000r |
