Linn LP12......That good??

what you own is arguably as good as the lp 12. the vintage thorens models have recently become quite popular, the td 160, 166, 147 as well well as others from the 1980's are just now getting the respect they always deserved. your ariston is also a gem. if these designs where made today, they would be thousands of dollars. many spend 2 to 3 thousand dollars on new tables that are at best average, and do not come close to the performance of what you own. i have a thorens jubilee and an oracle paris, and both keep me a believer and a collector of vinyl.

do not take offense, but the 125 is a far cry from the mid-80s models.

the guy's got an ariston and a classic thorens. i don't think he's missing much. the odds of coming across these tables in cherry condition are just gonna get harder and harder.
