I like this (old) review: honest, pragmatic and showing that:
"But the real revelation is this: so close are the overall scores that Linn's designers and staff can be satisfied in the knowledge that they got it so right so long ago. By all means, make your way through the extensive upgrade path. But if you can't afford to upgrade a vintage example, you can sleep just as easily as the owner of the 1997 vintage."
(Disclaimer: I bought a 1974 LP12 (serial number 002129) "project turntable" with an SME 3009 arm (serial number 143122) today - will keep me busy during the cold and wet Cape winter ahead of us!).
