I've got the Linn and has got several other TTs.
The Linn Lp 12 is really difficult to set up .Failing a one step of the set up procedure and a 100 usd japan play better than the Linn.
It has not the final word as far as timbre accuracy and details retrieavals. Are subtle details very important ?
It depends on you . If you like listening to classical music I don't think could be a the right choice .
Why does Linn is still alive ? It is euphonic and mesmeric such few other. It is a juicy hi fi product.To me in a certain way it equalizes and boost the record vinyl intrinsic problem and cures them .Do you prefer enjoyment above Hi- Fi accuracy ? You definitevly can buy a Linn.
Then twice a year or so call your Linn expert to check the Linn Set up. It does require a good isolation support.
Now One good news If you a buy 30 years old Linn Lp12 for 1000 USD that required just a little service you make bingo. It is a nearly as good as new one that worth 15.000 USD . I know most Linn fans disagree but I find elusive every upgrade Linn 've made after 1980. On late 80 I've a bought an inespensive good alternative to The Linn, It was a systemdeck. It requires a bit less attention than the Linn. The Xerxes is another good alternative but again you need the Xerxes expert. Once correctly set up you don't much miss a Linn even as far as the enjoyment concern.The Rega 3 and Project are really best buy and you don't need the TT expert.
