The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition


Linn have just announced their 50th anniversary edition LP12. See here:linn.co.uk/us/

The price is going to be starting at $60K.

 

Looks nice, but the price, like so much in the industry these days, seems to be what they used to call ' a thumb suck' number.

Thoughts??

The Linn 50th, is say $15K for nostalgia.

And then there are the @noromance types that have old stuff and think it doesn’t get better.

@ghdprentice You kill me! I hope you have the V6 Lexus and not that awful new 4 pot turbo. The white LP12-50 looks like an iMac.

These figures seen in the link are the figures the Public are allowed to see.

It is easy to work out why there are High Price Ticket Items, they work very well for massaging the profit line in an ascending direction.

V6 👍 😊

 

Honestly, I don’t know what the 50th anniversary edition sounds like. So, this is all complete speculation.

Now the LP12 has gone from junk to really stupidly expensive junk. There is a sucker born every minute. 

Not junk, but also, at least for the LP12 50th Anniversary, hard to assign that price to value.
