upgrade advice from a Linn LP12

Linn upgrades may be one way to go but they are quite expensive. To my ears, the Townshend Audio Rock 7/RB202/Lyra Delos sounded MUCH better than the stock Linn Majik LP12 for about the same price. You will need to double the cost to get it to Linn Akurate LP12 standards which is past the $8,000.00 mark.

You should be able to get decent money for your vintage LP12 provided its in pristine conditions. Having the original box/papers/etc really helps kick the price up a notch.

Before you do anything, visit your local dealer and try other TTs. Who knows, you may end up keeping your LP12.

If you are looking for simplicity, the $2,395.00 Wow XL is one solid piece of precision German engineering with easy switching from 33 to 45 RPM that sounds too good to be true.
