Linn Sondek LP12 Transcription Turntable with Ortofon 2M black  stylus . Great condition Linn LP12 released in 1972, light scratches on lid from improper cleaning (as seen in photos) but no other damage to mention. Professionally modified with a Ortofon 2M stylus ($900).The Sondek LP12 was Linn’s first product and helped demonstrate that the most important element in any quality music system is the source of the music itself. Launched at a time when amplifiers and loudspeakers were seen as being most critical to the performance of any system, the Sondek LP12 showed that extracting more information from the record itself was the most critical challenge. Quite simply, information lost at the source is lost forever./lp12-overview/It impossible to imagine the high end industry without the LP12Specshttp://linn.jp/c/uploads/2014/06/Linn_Sondek_LP12_Product_Information.pdf
