Just for the record, I loved the sound that my LP12 gave me for 9yrs, but I was made an offer that I could not refuse.
In no way was I knocking the Linn and even enjoyed the set up process, which in fairness did need to be done a little too often.
Other wise I agree with Beobloke's comments totally.
