Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade

@newton_john  I think you misread a lot into my posts. I did not state that all Bedrok buyers are 'blind and besotted'. I did say that I am not 'blind and besotted' when it comes to the various Linn products. There certainly are, at least IMO, a lot of Linn consumers who this applies to ( blind and besotted when it comes to the line). Not necessarily all of the Bedrok consumers, like you assumed I stated. 

Also, notice what @yoyoyaya  posted above. The price of the table he references equates to JUST the price of the Bedrok plinth in the US! 

@daveyf

Humble apologies. I got that totally wrong. I should have realised it would have been out of character for you to say something like that. Sorry, I’ll read more carefully next time.

I look forward to a company such as Tangerine Audio bringing out a cheaper version of the Bedrok.

@newton_john No worries mate, it’s just a hobby. Now back to discussing the many attributes of the Linn LP12 table.

@daveyf - btw, that price I quoted includes 20 percent EU sales tax!

@yoyoyaya That aspect makes it even worse! I have to question how many folks will pony up for the Bedrok, vs. simply going in another direction with another table, at a price like you brought our attention to.
Interesting thing, and I’m not sure if this is totally correct, on a Linn forum, there is a well informed member who informed the group that Linn do not actually manufacture the Bedrok plinth themselves!  Instead it is farmed out to a secondary vendor, who specializes in woodwork. Apparently, Linn do no woodwork themselves. This might explain some of the price attributable to the Bedrok..maybe?
