Linn’s notorious marketing campaign and attitude to business strategy had a fair bit to do with it too.
It only really came to an end once the Linn / Naim alliance came to an end and even the staunchly anti digital Linn had to do an embarrassing about-face turn.
Seriously, those highly divisive Linn campaigns left such a stink that many have never forgiven them since.
The funny thing is that the LP12 remains a highly contentious deck to this day.
Can’t remember any other deck being so controversial, but then the Linn was controversial from its inception, through a lengthy court case and beyond.
As for the best platform, I recall Linn used to recommend a small coffee table with preferably slightly loose legs!
