Linn LP 12

In the good old days one could purchase an LP 12 SANS arm and outboard power supply and use a modified armboard to facilitate use of Rega arms. Can NEW LP-12s be purchased in the same manner? I ask because I've heard something about Linn force-feeding the "full-monty" to the consumer w/o offering the option of buying a BASIC model. I ask because I want to purchase the LP-12 to use with my Rega arm. I do not want to buy into the Linn arm or the Linn PS.

I have an LP12 w/lingo (circa 1991) with a Rega RB300 arm. I love it dearly, so I am not by any means a Linn-basher.

Having said that...

I have compared it to several new LP12's with all the trimmings, like the cirkus and trampolin and most of the Linn arms. I can honestly say that I like the pre-cirkus table better, and I am highly suspicious of the Linn arms (like all Linn products). I think you are better off with a used LP12 and Rega arm. Plus you will save a ton of money. However you really should find an HONEST Linn mechanic to set it up. I know that's hard!
