The Linn is purchased piece by piece - the plinth, the baseboard, the power supply, the arm. Unless you know how to set them up, I would strongly advise you have secured the services of someone who knows how. People with the requisite skill are not cheap, so count this into the price.
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.
