    Linn worked with Jony Ive to create the Sondek LP12-50 turntable. It’s only $60,000 and there are only 250 in existence.

    LoveFrom has applied their design expertise to the new, precision-machined power/speed control button and hinges – providing delightful and precise interaction with the turntable. Further aesthetic refinements to the classic Sondek LP12 form have been made with deep respect for the quality and integrity of the product.

    The combination of performance, usability, and aesthetic improvements result in an historic piece with unrivalled sonic quality and beauty. Only 250 of these limited edition Sondek LP12-50s will ever be produced – with each bearing an embossed aluminium plaque celebrating this landmark collaboration with individual numbering.

    Imagine having 60k to piss away on anything and you choose a record player.

    Does anyone know if there’s a jack so that I can play my iPhone through it? I bet Spotify would sound great.

    Also; he hasn’t even changed much in terms of design so there’s nothing to even admire here (absurd pricing aside)

    Heh, if you've never looked at the batshit insane "high end" audio world before. Ohhhhh boy. Look at Linn's speaker prices. You could buy a car or a small house ... or a couple speakers!
