I wouldn't give any of those hideous great lumps of metal decks people are offering up house room. They are just ostentatious figure pieces of bling. As a mechanical engineer they look very unimpressive and pointless to me.
Dropping one large sum on such a deck makes them unobtainable, therefore irrelevant. Upgrading over 10, 20 years to such level is obtainable... It's like buying on credit, it may cost a bit more but you can manage it. Why some people fail to see it and why the Linn/LP12 is an achievable way to get to these crazy heights is beyond me...
Would I buy an £18K LP12 in one go, no, would I buy a 10K deck in one go, no.....
Would I pay 20K over 20+ years to get one...yes..... Or I could make do with a £1K deck, swap it regularly and bitch about all the people who have an £18K Klimax LP12...... I'd rather be an achiever not a dreamer.
You must feel lots calmer now you have that of your chest ,
And relax
