Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade

@olskool

I am pleased to hear the BooPlinth was a success for you.

I did see one at an audio show. Unfortunately, it wasn’t in use at the time so I can’t comment on its sound.

My turntable is now back in action after a few weeks with a fault. It’s fantastic to have vinyl again. I just don’t get the same pleasure out of streaming Qobuz or local files on a DSM.

Here's a new video on the Bedrok:

Formed of orthogonal layers of beech placed under extreme pressure and heat to create... beech PLYWOOD.

I love my LP 12's but for this amount of money I would upgrade to an used SME Model 20. 

@weiserb There you have it…as the LP12 price increases, the options do as well.
I would certainly be looking at what the competition offers at the price of just a new plinth, never mind the full cost of the LP12 Klimax with Bedrok!

Linn must believe that their customers are so loyal that what the competition offers is irrelevant.

@daveyf there’s potential reasons why Linn are confident of that:

• Better the devil you know - Linn have never let them down before
• Many customers have Exakt systems and want to keep their Urika IIs
• They like the LP12 sound
• Linn know that Bedrok improves sound considerably and will bear comparison with the competition
• Despite the price tag, it’s less expensive to upgrade than to change deck, phono stage and probably cartridge
• Long established customer relationships with Linn dealers
