| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I have not heard a Bedrok plinth...as such, I cannot state whether or not the impact on the SQ is worth it to me. But I can state that I will not denigrate or venerate the upgrade until I have had some experience with it... The price asked obviou... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @elliottbnewcombjr Nice post...not. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Maybe this thread should be moved to the Leica owners forum.. Hopefully we can get back on track now and discuss the Linn LP12. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade The Linn Bedrok plinth will appeal to someone who already owns the Klimax model. To some folks, the upgrade price is chump change... I know two Klimax owners who have already put their order in. Remember, someone paid $1M for a banana attached to... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm You bring up a very good point. As the price of the Linn LP12 Klimax version rises, so it gets closer and closer to competition that may be not only better value, but also superior sounding. Some Linn folk believe that the Klimax LP12 cann... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john Agreed. To some folks, the price of the new Linn 'Bedrok' plinth is chump change...and will easily be worth the money asked. For the rest of us, the decision will be more personal and based on finances. Hopefully, Linn will sell the ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade The price in today's high end audio arena for a Klimax LP12 is ( and I'm afraid to say this), on the lower part of the curve! The trend is for more and more manufacturer's to see how high the consumer will go, before they say...no mas. As we all... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade Looking at the new Bedrok plinth, it is a somewhat complex inner shape with several areas milled out. Linn have also countersunk metal fasteners into the areas where the various mounting screws attach. The price asked includes a new stainless top ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm The current Klimax model LP12 is priced at $30K in the US. The new Bedrok plinth adds appx $11K to that price. There are a number of competing tables at that price or slightly below. Whether Linn will be successful with this very pricey mo... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm I think the new plinth is made from a composite wood material that essentially is like Panzerholz in its density. Apparently, the CNC machining is very time consuming and complex, resulting in the pricing. That and the fact that Linn kind ... | |
| Jeff Rowland, what happened ? I am hoping that Jeff and crew will continue on with their excellent work. I also noticed what the OP said in his post, there are now several products that are ’suspended’. Maybe Jeff wants to retire? If so, i hope that a replacement owner can ta... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade The new Bedrok plinth for the LP12 is being discussed extensively on the web. Probably what is brought up the most, is the very high price. The price puts the new plinth and table into the realm of some very fine turntable competition. Something ... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @alessandrocat Don't get me wrong, there are always a number of Linn detractors on all audio forums, including this one. The table seems to polarize folk into a position. Most times I notice that those who have the strongest negative opinions al... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @newton_john Interesting. I have not noticed a lot of anger against Linn on other forums, but then again, maybe I’m not visiting the ones you are referring to?? | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @lewm, I don’t think anyone here is saying that ownership of a LP12 is required before a member can comment on it. However, it would be perhaps better if those who have a negative opinion of the table…also disclose upfront as to their reasoning..a... |
