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??

I own a LP12 Klimax, and run a Lyra Etna.  My sentimental side led me to a suspension TT.  I think many people (including me) get surprised by its sensitivity to vibration/footfall. I expect the 50th anniversary edition is no different. Sure, I have buyer's remorse knowing I could have purchased better SQ with a "newer design" TT.  Linn gear is overpriced across the board (IMO) but people will buy it without looking "under the kilt"  

Short answer, no, it's not worth it to me.
