| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john I am not saying that the entry level price of the LP12 Majik is any less competitive than it was before, nor the other variations up to the Klimax. But I do think that when you add the cost of the new Bedrok to the Klimax, or probabl... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john you seem to fail to comprehend that as the LP12 increases in price that it now encounters more able competition. To the more sophisticated consumer, that now leads them away from the Linn turntable. Remember that the table still has ... | |
| HumminGuru vs.Degritter @dogberry auto correct likes degauss. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john No question, you are correct that Linn’s target market for the new Bedrok plinth are existing Klimax owners. I know of one such owner who has ordered the new plinth. My point is that as the price asked increases to the sky, personall... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @noromance while I agree with you, the price of the new Bedrok plinth seems excessive, I also know that unless a very high price is asked for high end anything, potential buyers assume it is less worthy. Looking at the latest issue of The Absolu... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john You make some good points, but to the typical consumer, like Dover above, the idea of a high priced table that may or may not compete with the competition, and one that needs a specific set up, is an issue. i’m more in the middle of... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @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 bel... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john The term ’better’ is extremely subjective in our hobby. To one person, ’better’ means the system sounds louder without strain, to another ’better’ might mean the system plays softer with more realism. IMO, in order to truly determine... | |
| "...and I don't take any advertiser money..." @carlsbad2 The whole audio hobby consists of two parts, IME. One is made up of folks who are there simply to try and make a buck ( most if not all reviewers and others). For example, on one of the many forums I am banned from, one of the owners w... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @newton_john Agreed. With the added point that the LP12 at its Klimax level with the Bedrok plinth is expensive..in relation to its competition. IOW, it is then possible to acquire a superior product for a similar, or maybe even lower price. Are ... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable One other thing, IF ( maybe a BIG IF) Linn ever do get around to upgrading and replacing the old war horse EKOS-SE, I would suspect that their new arm would be priced so far into the stratosphere ( based on what they are asking for the Bedrok plin... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @newton_john If you take the LP12 Klimax and divide it into its various parts, then subtract some of these parts, you will certainly be left with a less expensive table. For example, one can utilize a Lingo 4 instead of a Radikal, but you give u... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade It is odd that the plinth would have such an impact on a spring suspended turntable. I can easily understand the power supply, bearing, sub chassis, but plinth? The fettlers I have talked to in the past all assured me that the plinth was the last ... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @zavato While I agree that the LP12 is an excellent table ,and I am a big fan of it, I also think that as the price increases, it begins to bump up against competition that would/should make one choose differently. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @noromance Agree. The banana junk was actually sold for $6.2M to a crypto genius. All of this could be considered as a spit in the eye to the waged, as you pointed out. |
