Somewhere on the Analog Discussion site there is a long, long thread on the highly related issue of whether the LP12 can be compared with or can compete with the best of modern tts. Try the search engine. You have hours of reading ahead of you.
Linn LP-12 compared to TW Acustic, SME, Nottingham
I am in the process of looking to move from my Linn LP-12 to another table. I found this link in another forum: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ranlg&1236291811&read&keyw&zztw=acustic but didn't find anything in the anolog forum section, so I was looking for some others who have compared the LP-12 to any of the the above tables.
Thank you.
