Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade

@newton_john   I believe there is a LP12 50th on this site for sale. Has been listed for a while now, and at a discounted price. Also, I have heard that they are actually not sold out yet.

"No way Linn would charge more than they have to for an upgrade"??? LOL. OK.

@newton_john  Look again at the sentence you posted. Unfortunately, it is common practice these days for companies to want to maximize profits. Linn are no different in this regard. The fact that Linn outsources the Bedrok plinth means that they are at the mercy of their supplier. ( yes, supply is limited, limited to the amount they can make!)  The price asked of a wooden plinth, particularly here in the US, is bordering on an insult. Why, because among other reasons, there are several respectable complete turntables that one can acquire for similar money, or even less.

We have to remember that there are also numerous middle men involved in high end sales, these folk are absolutely interested in only one thing...maximum profits!

The comments are not ’smart ass’, but they are not naive either!

@newton_john  In your above post you stated this..” all other things being equal, there’s no way Linn would charge more than they have to for an upgrade”.

Have you seen the price of the new Linn Bedrok plinth! Or, the price of the LP12 50th in the US! Seems like Thomas O’Keefe is having a hard time selling his…on this site at a significant discount! Maybe that should tell us something?
 

@mylogic   Your logic on tariffs is correct.
