| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @richardbrand What you point to is all amazing technological progress of which we can be proud. My point was that it is all based on physical principles that were already established when we were young. As far as expanding our knowledge of thes... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf The way you took part of my argument out of context and added "??? LOL. OK." was glib and disingenuous, not to mention downright rude. You can add your dear leader with his 20% import tariff to list of middle men pushing up the price o... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf There may be the odd dealer that still has an LP12-50 that they ordered not allocated to a specific customer, but that doesn’t change what I said. Don’t resort to the low trick of distorting what I said by quoting part selectively witho... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf The LP12-50s are all gone. Linn didn’t have the capacity to make the Bedrok plinth upgrade until they’d fulfilled all the LP12-50 orders. The improved sonic performance of the LP12-50 is not entirely due to the plinth. Also, there were... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @richardbrand It is striking how little progress has been made in fundamental physics since I was at university fifty years ago, despite the huge expenditure incurred. So far, string theory hasn't produced a single experimentally testable findin... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf The price of the Bedrok is small fraction of the extra cost of the LP12-50 above the regular Klimax. I don’t see why the price of one should restrict Linn on the other. One is one off unique special design and the other is a standard upg... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf "I suspect these very same folk would have little problem with the same looking Bedrok if it was priced at three times the current ask. Question is what price is it that elicits push back??" I can’t imagine Linn would have sold many Bed... | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @unreceivedogma That's a great piece of writing. Yet, I am not completely convinced. What you so eloquently describe is clearly part of the attraction of vinyl records. However, I don't consider it to be the full story. For me, the most important... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) @billpete I kept my LP records all the way through the barren CD era, then added to them and upgraded my turntable during the vinyl revival. Yet I made the silly mistake of selling my turntable to improve the digital side about six years ago. I ... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) @gbmcleod When I was learning to play guitar, I listened to a lot of pre war country blues all the way back to Charlie Patton on tape and later CD copied from old 78s. It’s amazing how the performances can sometimes transcend the limitations of ... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) Incidentally, I just realised another major benefit of the sound of vinyl replay. There are many artists and albums that I found to be impenetrable on the fully digital formats. Yet on vinyl, they are accessible. For example, I attempted to get ... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) @mambacfa Brilliant satire. I especially liked “the intelligentsia of the audiophile community” - a contradiction in terms if ever I heard one. If the geniuses in the music industry could master CDs and digital files properly, Luddites like us ... | |
| Linn users, what is your preference for your platter mat? @billpete You could email support dwlabs@linn.co.uk | |
| Linn users, what is your preference for your platter mat? @billpete No, I leave that sort of thing for my dealer to do. | |
