I appreciate all the inquiries.  I wanted to add some information for those who are new to LP12 and looking to purchase one of these legendary decks.

Not all LP12 are the same.  There are many upgrade options that make these decks perform better, get more information out of the groove, become less prone to the outside vibration, etc.  The deck you are looking at is a higher end LP12 and it is very unique.  To begin with, it has a brand new black fluted plinth manufactured by Linn, which is a rarity. The Ekos2 tonearm alone would cost you about $2K used (look it up).  Add to that a $2K Krystal cartridge that hasn’t been broken in yet.  And in combination with the new Kore sub-chassis, new Trampolin 2, new motor, and all the other upgrades, a deck with similar features would cost you way over $13K if you purchased it brand new.  Add to that the fact that I spent over $1K to make sure that it was tediously set up in every aspect by one of the best LP12 techs in the US who was trained by Linn, you can probably see how reasonable my asking price becomes.  This isn't just a used LP12 that has been sitting in a garage for decades and then brought to life. This is a gem that embodies everything that we love about a properly setup LP12, both aesthetically and performance-wise.

Thanks again for your interest and inquiries.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

This is an all-Linn package, everything from the baseboard to the cartridge.  The deck is outfitted in Linn's gorgeous limited edition fluted plinth in black. The images don't do it justice, you have to see it to appreciate its beauty. All components with the exception of the tonearm, the power supply, the bearing, and the platter are brand new. The deck was meticulously brought to the Linn factory standards by Jim Fuller at Goodwin's High End in Waltham, MA.  

The components are: 

- Linn Ekos 2 tonearm;
- Linn Krystal cartridge with 30 hours of playback (very accurate estimate);
- Linn Lingo 2;
- Linn Kore;
- Linn Trampolin 2;
- Linn Cirkus;
- Linn 1.7m XLR T-Kable (Mogami).

The motor, belt, and the felt mat are new as well.  The Linn dust cover and the top metal plate are also new.  If you don't have a balanced system, no worries.  I will include a 1.2m Linn RCA tonearm cable as well. The only cosmetic imperfection on this deck is a couple of nicks on the outer platter -- the middle screws on the baseboard were accidentally forgotten to be removed prior to shipping, which caused them. The nicks can't be seen under the felt mat.

But all those details aside, and most importantly -- THIS DECK CAN SING! 

I have a Linn shipping box for the deck.  The Ekos 2 tonearm has its own black wooden storage case, which is included.  I have the original box for the Lingo 2, but unfortunately it is not very sturdy for ground shipping, so I'll ship it in a thick box from an Ayre component instead.  I'll ship via FedEx Ground. The shipping charge will be significant -- it's a two-box shipment, and both boxes are quite large and heavy.  To make your buying experience more pleasant, I will cap the shipping at $65 and I will take care of the difference. If you live in the Philadelphia area, I'll gladly arrange the local pickup.

Thanks for checking out this listing and please let me know if you have any questions.
