I hope they work I’m on my third set.

Some nice changes there, but the spiel is a bit gimmicky. Why has it taken 50 years and some outsider to design an aluminium hinge? The plastic ones have been garbage for decades and clearly Linn have had no interest in producing something that works. These new ones allow one to have the lid at any angle. No, the answer as always is to remove the lid, not have it hanging there vibrating to pieces.
This amazing new composite wood that doesn’t resonate. All things resonate and if they don’t, they must absorb and affect the sound in a presumably bad way.
Can’t see what the top plate is made from, but the new shape makes it specific to that model.
Switch looks good, as long as it’s done for sound and not cosmetic.
Price is a farce and typically done for collectors.

I know how to spell bedrock, but Linn - with their fondness for eliminating the letter ‘c’ in all that they do - klearly do not!

There’s an article in the FT about it (currently open access):

I can’t find anything about the new aluminium hinges anywhere.
Over a series of meetings, we worked through a range of design options for new, precision-machined metal hinges that would make the dust cover ultra-responsive to the user, and for a new, circular, machined-from-solid aluminium power switch.
Have a look at the Blog page (in the About Us section) on the Linn website.
Oh, missed the fact that it is a limited edition!
How I hate limited editions as they come across to me as a marketing scheme to tempt fans and generate a lot of noise, some relatively easy, in some cases, quick revenue!
But hey, that’s business,

The hinges, also machined from aluminium, forgo typical dust-cover behaviour (ie, locked in the up position, or shut) and keep it at the angle you desire. The switch, the hinge and other subtle aesthetic changes have been beautifully conceived by LoveFrom, but came with a side-order of anxiety.

Very pretty, very expensive. I could live with the looks, unlike the Solstice. Can’t afford either!

I wonder what from this TT will trickle down into the standard LP12 range.
Just when you think there couldn’t possibly be any misinterpretation or confusion about a very simple statement, along come the general public. Thank God I don’t work in the high street. If I did, my shop would be like the equivalent of Faulty Towers.

Yes, I wondered that as well. I would imagine / hope the LP12 50th may form basis of the next itineration of the range topping Klimax.
Agree, the video is interesting and I thought it amusing that the production values were decidedly Apple-esque!

At least the sticker on the back says who made it. Personalises it; but at a price!
Every Linn product has that.
