AMG V12
I love the fact that Linn provides an upgrade path for the older LP12, but does the path have to be so steep in price. Thousands of Linn LP12 owners have stopped upgrading their table due to Linn’s current upgrade pricing.The AMG brand is alive an...

My 2011 AMG E63 was a gas pig and had a very uncomfortable ride. Never again, back to a regular E class. I don't know anything about the AMG TT.

Temaad Audio Warlock is another free standing tonearm. 
Anyone know anything about new VPI Classic 3 arm?
