Linn LP12 ..still a good table??


After 15 years of digital Ive decided like alot to get back into analog.I have been offered an older 1970s LP12 w/Grace arm just serviced with new belts etc for a tad under what the market will support.My question is simply this..Is this table still considered good or should I pass and move onto newer production tables,if so what should I consider (under 1500.00 new or used)..thanks

I just bought on with the same arm last summer. It is still a good table, the new ones fully equipped are still competitive with everything short of the megadollar ones. The older ones will outperform most contemporary tables but we each have our own taste. I sell VPI because I think that they are good and a very good value but at $1500 used there is a wide choice of tables that if set up well can give very good performance. If you get the Linn get the new mat, thin and black as opposed to thicker and gray, improves performance considerably for $25.
