One of the most genuinely kind, decent people I've ever met, in or out of the audio community.
Linn LP12 turntable
I was in my favorite audio store yesterday talking turntables… Rega P10, MoFi MasterDeck etc, when he stated he had a Linn LP12 he was selling for a customer at $2,400 & the customer had $14K (with upgrades) into it. Intriguing, but knew nothing about Linn. After my research, people seem to love it or hate it. But it is installed in many fine audiogon systems.
I would like your thoughts and recommendations.
I have asked the following questions of the dealer:
1. Date of production
2. Upgrades that have been added
3. Power supply / tone arm
4. Condition
5. Recently serviced
I have not yet seen it, but it is there now. What other questions should I ask?
My current analog system:
Pro-ject 1xpression carbon classic with Hana ML
Rega Aria
PS Audio BHK pre
Simaudio Moon 330A amp
KEF R11’s
Advise would be greatly appreciated.

@mylogic You seem to have misinterpreted my last post. I am saying pretty much the exact opposite to what you wrote! I am a big believer in the upgrades that Linn has come out with over the years. While I agree there is nothing wrong with owning an old LP12 model from any era, and being happy with it, it should be noted that the older model is not close to where Linn is now with the current upgrades. This is, at least IMO, one of the biggest strengths of the LP12 platform...if funds allow, the table can be brought up to the current spec; which applies to all vintages. There are no other tables that i can think of that allow for this aspect...with them once you have bought your turntable platform, the only way to upgrade is to sell and buy something better. Most times incurring some loss of original investment. |
