For Tube Folks...
I still own a quad of matched GE 6550’s. I have them because they are a superb sounding tube and quite robust. I removed them from a Melos tube amp that I bought new and that used these as the power tubes. Replaced them after just a few hours use ... 
HumminGuru vs.Degritter
@pryso   Here’s the protocol I use. Firstly, if the record is fairly new or clean, I skip the US step and just use wet vacuum. If the record is dirtier or older, and depending on condition, I will first do a US clean, always utilizing a surfactant... 
Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade
I just replaced my original Afro fluted plinth with a new Linn Oak plinth. Looks amazing and sounds better. Personally, i think the Oak plinth looks far better than the new Bedrok...maybe not as great an increase in SQ, but the price difference is...

@ricco275   +1. I was thinking the same thing, but also thought that maybe that was just my dislike of the aesthetics.   
How to dismantle Well Tempered for shipping?
@lewm My ’WTA’ Black arm replaced my older Ekos 2. The improvement in sound staging, particularly the sense of depth was very noticeable. The only arm that might...might be better on the LP12 is an Ekos SE, but even that is not a 100%. I have don... 
How to dismantle Well Tempered for shipping?
I just went through part of this operation when I changed plinths on my LP12. The WTA arm is a royal pain to work with. Getting the silicone out of the cup was an exercise in frustration, as not all will be removed from the cup, leaving a nice mes...

@signaforce I don’t think anyone here is concerned about criticism of the Linn LP12 from folk who have at least a modicum of experience with the table. i certainly am not. However, as I pointed out earlier, the table and Linn and more importantly...

@lewm   I am not implying anything...it is known, do a little research.

OP, Not hilarious. Anti-Semitism is exactly the opposite.

@vitussl101   There always seem to be folk on all audio forums who have little to no experience with a Linn LP12, but who also have no issue with denigrating the table for one reason or another. I suspect it is due to a few issues that these folk ... 
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...

@elliottbnewcombjr   Nice post...not.

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...
