| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john Again, your post is not really my point. I’m sure you are correct that if a LP12 Klimax owner is currently happy with his table, he won’t be selling it, and certainly not at a loss. Plus, like you mention, the Klimax LP12 is an excel... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm Presumably you are talking about the Booplinth? You ask some great questions, why no bracing etc., There have been a number of aftermarket plinth makers, some involving all metal plinths, various wood combo’s etc., none of these have been ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @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 ... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @newton_john Another very good point. One that I’m not sure Linn has fully considered. The cost to benefit ratio. This ratio seems to be going further into the negative aspect in all of high end…IOW, the cost is far too great for the benefit, alb... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john No worries mate, it’s just a hobby. Now back to discussing the many attributes of the Linn LP12 table. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @newton_john The lack of choice for an arm for the LP12 platform, one that will have synergy with the old fruit box, is IMO the biggest down side of ownership of this table. So, yes, that is, as you say..my particular bugbear. Plus, the old war h... | |
| 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 l... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @robob You say the LP12 can hold its own with just about any table produced. While I wouldn’t go that far, as I have heard some amazing tables, like the Brinkmann, the new Esoteric, and even the SAT, I have not compared them in my system. I do fe... | |
| 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... |
