Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy?

a 150 lb GIANT, LOL.

A long time ago, a Linn turntable was considered to be the top of the heap.  Now, in the midst of a major vinyl revival, they are lucky to sell even 500 tables a year.  They make much more selling "updates" to their older tables which maybe weren't so good after all.

Certainly not if you hear some of the other options available in this price range.

@gordon  You want us to believe that a 150 lb man walking on a concrete slab floor is going to cause problems with the LP12?? Is this concrete slab suspended by wire over a large open space, because if it is not and this is the typical concrete slab on a ground floor, I am calling 'BS'.
