At present, Ivor will be working towards a more stable future of Linn products...
That the LP12 refuses to die is a masterstroke in itself, but to suggest it is the ONLY deck worth having is a little naive with respect.
If you like what the LP12 does to the music in them grooves then fine, carry on and enjoy it. The rest of us looking at the classic section here can go and enjoy the Garrards, TD124's, Lenco 88/99's and certain vintage far eastern direct drives (there are some crackers out there if you know where to look) and smile smugly to ourselves...
