This is mine. I sold it a couple of years ago and bought a new Technics sl1200gr, which of course makes me happy, but the LP12 is a completely different story…

OK, so you want redder? I’m not sure if this meets that requirement, but this is one I downloaded from Twitter some years back and kept the image for its exceptional beauty. If I I recall correctly, it’s a Chris Harban plinth in Koa. I have a suspicion that it might belong to a well known U.K. dealer.

No! That just brought on a dizzy spell. :joy:

The wood grain is far too ‘busy’, to my way of thinking. It detracts from the clean lines of the LP12.

What about this one. :wink: :+1:t2:

No! Bay city rollers have just entered my head and I don’t want them there. :nauseated_face:

I know that that’s a mock up, thank goodness. Linn are rightly proud of their Scottish heritage, but that is several steps too far down a blind alley.

Not even Jonny Ive (recently involved in an inglorious attempt to ‘update’ the LP12’s design) could come up with something as appalling as that!

I quite like the Eddie Van Helen LP12 (NOT a mockup)

I don’t think calling that ‘garish’ would be entirely inaccurate :face_with_spiral_eyes:

I think a bit Sh.t would be appropriate. :face_with_peeking_eye:

Are you only allowed to play that matching record when you use that LP12?

I wonder why they didn’t bother to crazy paint the Ittok (?) tonearm while they were at it?

Wrong tartan for me !

When someone starts a thread in 2024 recalling the best albums of 50 years prior, the lads might have an entry. And for every subsequent year to 2031….
