    Do they have their own upgrade line then?

    Have you considered a Well Tempered deck? Loud and Clear are stockists in Glasgow or Edinburgh.
    At the very least they're worth a listen. I’ve gone from a top of the LP12 to a Versalex and couldn’t be happier. They might surprise you?

    I'd much rather keep and upgrade what you've got than end up with a bloody Linn LP12 fruitbox, ugh.

    Not sure I will be going down the Linn route, too many upgrades involved for me, but you never know. I did like my Linn when i owned one but that was nearly 40 years ago, and there were only a couple of upgrade options then.

    I understand the generation who grew up with them, but there's so much choice at the OPs budget it would be a shame to go down the path of something that requires a lot of 'upgrades' or fixes more like, to sound competitive. YMMV of course but I consistently fail to be convinced by the sound and value of LP12s.

    I hear you, I actually switched from the LP12 full fat version to a Idler and have not regretted it but i must say the LP12 gave me great music and unfortunately
    gets a bad rep for going out of tune and such, but that was never my experience. I still have a soft spot for them.
