For me the LP12 with the magic is the pre Cirkus 80s deck. It has that warmth and it boogies. The Cirkus makes it more accurate and "better" but it loses the magic. At that point there are any number of decks for less that are better. But the 80s one doesn't have competition that do what it does, if you like the trick.
Same goes for Naim amps. If you like it, great. Nothing else will do.
Mot sure I totally agree having moved from a a pre-Cirkus dexk to a Karousel.
