Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy?

You can do better

My objection to Linn (and $2400 IS a good price) is that it is an invitation to "audiophilia nervosa": constant upgrades available and hence "is mine good enuff?". I think of it as a kit. When you go to the supermarket you do not need 200 types of cereal.
