New Scout & MH MM-7 or old Linn Sondek. ?????

Hm, interesting answers.
Personally, from my own experience the last 10 years, I never had the 'luck' to listen to a good sounding LP12.
Well, maybe the two above me have absolutely no idea about a good sounding turntable ot they have found the wonder I always was looking for.
Normally it is coloured, low dynamic and is super sensitive with set up, when opening a window, the sound changes and and and.....
One time a found a real competent Linn dealer who made the best set up with the Lp 12 I ever listened to. That was acceptable, well, at least for me.
That's my opinion, I know, there are some out, who think different, and for some it's maybe a kind of religion, was never able to follow this line .....

I knew that something like this was coming, and I don't care.
I think, it is more important to know what is going on, and personally I think, it is more silly to invest in crap than in things, which work.
Some designs are better than others, independtly from price. Why are you crying about a 10k turntable ? A full modified LP 12 is expensive and it that good that most of them were sold from their owners, for super low prices, any idea why ?
Just my 2c.

At that time owned a cheap Roksan with a Tabriz Zi and a Chorus Black, a Michell Gyro with a Rega and later one of the normal Well Tempered's .....
Most bought used, each one of these sounded much more real and balanced, and the Dynamic Range was something total different.

Any way , I am intelligent enough to know in what direction a question is going, and I never pushed a product in my mails and I never was a dealer or made money with that. And But I still think, a Linn player is nothing remarkable ....
And a good design has nothing to do with a price ?
Or ?
