I've had a Linn Karik for many years now and am VERY happy with it. Trouble is, I'm getting nervous about the thing breaking: I hear that the transport is impossible to replace if it goes wrong.....? So, what do you think: Keep it until the fateful day or sell on while it's still working perfectly? If it's the latter, what's out there to consider? Is the recently mentioned Marantz SA8500 in the same category?

All opinions welcome :-)
