The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition

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

Bummer. 

I own a near Klimax LP12

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.

@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.

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

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