The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition


Linn have just announced their 50th anniversary edition LP12. See here:linn.co.uk/us/

The price is going to be starting at $60K.

 

Looks nice, but the price, like so much in the industry these days, seems to be what they used to call ' a thumb suck' number.

Thoughts??

Until they release another batch. The speculators will be ticked off.

Apparently, all 250 LP12 50th Anniv tables are now sold!

@ghdprentice Speaking of automobiles, you can get a new Lexus RX350 or Volvo XC90 for the price of that turntable. We both know what is value for money and what isn't. The beauty of my well-fettled vintage gear is in the maximal bang for the buck achieved. That I can put together a great-sounding system for less than the nostalgia tax you may be willing to pay on that Linn gives me great satisfaction. I'm well aware that it can be bettered, but I prefer to allocate my funds on other endeavors, and not by lining the pockets of the likes of Mr. Tiefenbrun.

The Linn 50th, is say $15K for nostalgia.

And then there are the @noromance types that have old stuff and think it doesn’t get better.

@ghdprentice You kill me! I hope you have the V6 Lexus and not that awful new 4 pot turbo. The white LP12-50 looks like an iMac.

Linn might as well jump on the massive-profit Nouveau Aristocracy bandwagon—which is increasingly prevalent in the audio biz.
