| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Interesting that the VP of sales and marketing is now opting for a more ’customer friendly’ position than when you were apparently talking to his reps. I wonder if the bad publicity that you were attempting to expose had an effect? Pr... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @lewm Actually the cartridge was about $20K+ in the US. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum A few years back, there was an ’American importer’ who was importing a cartridge from Japan, which was readily available over there, and adding close to five thousand percent mark-up for the uninitiated in the US. Interestingly, this chap was not ... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition @zavato Knowing Linn, they will be both ridiculously priced and delusionally priced, LOL. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @cleeds I think there are a number of unfortunate issues here. Each of us has their priority. Personally, i would be concerned with the apparent initial non-disclosure of the warranty issue, additionally the cavalier attitude apparently given to ... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @jonderda Question....let us say that the OP had sent you the cartridge for inspection and you found that a defective wire ( and/or other manufacturing defect) was the issue.

| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition @zavato Even if the hinges are retrofittable, do you want to pay the kind of cost that Linn would have in mind for a better solution to hold up your lid??? Since I only use the lid for a way to protect the table from dust when not in use, person... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Perfect opportunity for you to explain away your Company Policy to add $5k to the typical arrive at the door price for a Cart' and then for the $5K upcharge get a measly 3 MONTHS WARRANTY. In the guise of being Transparent, why not have a Head... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The MoFi ’One Step’ Mingus Ah Um. While this record is good, I feel it does have a certain digital sheen to it that is obvious after one knows its ’history’. I say this, as I followed it up with the Tone Poet release of Breakin Point by Freddie Hu... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Should you had to have the attitude in your statement " as always it is consumer beware"?? With a company like MD and Jim Davis, based on just their non-disclosure digital step debacle, it is clear that you needed to. This industry see... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum With the OP’s example, unfortunately his cartridge was one year old, even though it had only 75 hours of usage. The problem is that this same circumstance would apparently have occurred even if his cartridge was only three months and one day old..... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum There seems to be some misconception about the quality control of a lot of these ’artisan’ sourced cartridges. The assumption being that each one is looked at by the maker and determined to be good. In reality, I suspect this is not the case at al... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @cleeds +1. I agree that it is odd that mijostyn continues to feel good about his dealer, given what you stated. That dealer would be the last guy I would use again, for exactly the reasons you pointed out. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Jim Davis and Mo Fi/MD have been in hot water recently. Their undisclosed digital step debacle ( with the lauded 'all analog' LP's) landed them there. The ethics displayed with the company and Davis is clearly lacking. They are now in t... | |
