| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? @newton_john I agree with you, the Bedrok does seem to be priced at a point that is not that attractive. However, like most things in this hobby, I suspect one will come along on the used market, priced at a fraction of new. That would be the tim... | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? One of the best, perhaps the best, table I have heard is the Basis Transcendence. . | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @mylogic The interesting thing that occurs to me is that in this hobby, many times folk are not aware of the failings, or shortcomings, of their systems. Only upon an exposure to what they are missing can they discover what is either a) missing f... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm While you might expect that a dead silence be portrayed by any decent table when placing the stylus into the lead in groove, you might be surprised how rare that experience is. I have heard numerous high end tables that cannot do this 'tric... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm Obviously if the record has pressing defects or scratches etc., it will sound. I am talking about a clean pressing that does not have these issues. The bearing of the Linn ( and I think in reality, all turntables) is probably the most impo... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @mylogic Your friend was 100% correct. Noise generated from the table is not beneficial. Which is one of the reasons why Linn has gone to significant effort to minimize the input from the table to the upstream components. For example, the new Kar... | |
| Furutech PC's? When it comes to Furutech PC's.. best advice is to be very very careful to determine if they are legitimate. There are a number of fakes that are being sold as real, and these cables look very close to the real item. Unfortunately, Buyer beware is... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade While folks have a point that the LP12 was derived from designs like the AR etc., it has now evolved into a far superior product. I question how many here who have posted so far have actually heard a new Linn LP12, even if it is a Majik ( entry ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @dover I have heard a Linn LP12 without a plinth, it did nothing for me. I do agree, the new grommets/mushrooms are also nothing special, having heard that mod as well, i wouldn’t consider them either. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @dover Sorry to disappoint you, but the current LP12 does not fall out of tune, once it has been set up correctly, it stays that way. Linn addressed the problem years ago, @yoyoyaya The idea that the table needs to be set up by someone who ha... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john Your assumption about the Linn training was my assumption too. That was drastically altered once i heard what the new ’fettler’ was able to accomplish with my table. Not that the old tech was bad, just that there were a few things th... | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? Another question would be whether to spend the extra money on the cartridge, or to allot the funds upstream.to the arm or the table. If you have a table and arm that are at the very top level, then the funds put towards the cartridge would make se... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john Thanks. I didn't really experience problems with Linn, I experienced problems due to the lack of local dealer support. The gent whom I went to to 'fettle' my Linn is as stated, hundreds of miles north of me, BUT he was well worth vis... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john Let me relate something to you...which may or may not be relevant to our discussion, I had a conversation with a Linn rep about a year ago, this person was in Scotland ( because at the time they had fired or dropped their US rep, pref... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade "Are you saying that someone who can afford $40K is just as likely to spend $100? I would doubt that – it is a massive jump. It remains to be seen whether the Bedrok becomes a success for Linn. However, the LP12-50 did sell." That is exactly w... |
