Unlike your response, my comment was not personal..unless you are claiming that the almighty LP12 has feelings too...
I owned an LP12 for over 20 years. It was of 1993 manufacture, purchased as 'mechanicals only'. I fitted a s/h Valhalla, a Mk1 Akito and a K18. Not long after, I added Lingo 1 and the very last iteration of the Ittok.
(LVIII Mk2, iirc) and a succession of MCs culminating in a DV17D2.
I think I gave the LP12 a chance to shine, but it never grabbed me, or gave me the revelatory experience so many claim. I found it, frankly, boring.
I've sold Linn kit. I've used an LP12 in demos and let people draw their own conclusions. I have heard more LP12s than I care to remember, in various specs, in full active Linn systems and assorted others. None has ever grabbed me. I have friends who have LP12s in various specs. They like them and that's their privelege. I just dont hear the alleged 'magic'.
