As A Linn owner of 38 years, my view is that at every price level that Linn offers a table, there are many superior tables, often cheaper than a Linn. I have spent several times the original price of the table to improve it. It is an outmoded design that will be a money pit for you if you buy one.
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
I don’t see many discussions that include the Linn Sondek LP12 turntable and was wondering why? They’ve been around since the late 70’s and other then power supply and a few other minor changes (IMO) are relatively unchanged. I had one in the early 80’s and another in the late 90’s. They are somewhat finicky to get setup correct and once you do, they sound great. That being said I know there have been a lot better designs to come out since the LP12’s hey-day. Are they worth considering anymore or has the LP12 just become another audio vintage collectors item?
