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... 
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 ...
