Prior to the Linn LP-12, turntables were considered to have no real sound save for the effects of wow and flutter and rumble. Mr. Tiefenbrun was the first to realize (and exploit) the fact that turntables did sound different in ways that weren't reflected in a couple of measured specs. Essentialy there was no such thing as a high end turntable before the LP-12. The machining of the Linn's bearing and platter established a new standard for such things, too.
