| Linn LP12 turntable @lewm It’s a case for the LP12 Radikal power supply that has been machined out of a solid block of aluminium. It matches other Klimax components in style. However, the considerably cheaper Standard or Akurate Radikal does exactly the same job. L... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @daveyf Has the price of the LP12 really increased that much? Yes, there have been upgrades that have added to the price, if buy them. You don’t need to though. There’s lot of talk about it being expensive. But very little in the way of price c... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable I’ll try to get back on track with a summary of my thoughts on the turntable. It is perfectly valid to suggest the LP12 might not be the best turntable option for everyone. For example, my grown up children all have ProJects because the LP12 was ... | |
| Power supply for ethernet switch? I found that an Sbooster BOTW 12V power supply gave me a nice improvement with my Melco S100 switch. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @signaforce It’s a shame that you feel like that after people have genuinely tried to answer your original post. This isn't directly related to what's currently going on in the US. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @daveyf I am glad to hear that someone shares my suspicion that there may be at least a small element of anti-Semitism behind the anti Linn sentiment that abounds online, particularly in the criticism of its founder’s activities decades ago. Peo... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @elliottbnewcombjr Congratulations. That’s the weirdest post I’ve ever seen. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @elliottbnewcombjr It’s nonsense to say that Bedrok is insulting to anyone, least of all everyone alive and not yet born. Anybody who doesn’t want it can ignore it. In our free enterprise system, it’s open to anyone to market a similar produc... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @elliottbnewcombjr Prices can’t be insulting. Only people can do that. Manufacturers are entitled to set their prices as they see fit. If you consider a price too high, the remedy is in your own hands. Don’t buy the product. If sufficient peopl... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm I am sorry about spelling your name wrong. Does that mean you don’t love me any more? My original point was that the SL-1000R and Klimax LP12 are in the same ball park price wise. You aggressively contradicted me by saying the Klimax is ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm Lewn, darling. Do the sums properly. I can see the price of the Technics SL-1000R as £18,999 at two UK dealers. The list price of £25,098 for the full Klimax LP12 less £6,050 for the Exstatik cartridge and £3,115 for the Urika phono stage ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf That’s a question that each person can only answer for themselves, assuming they can afford it and have auditioned it. There’s no universal absolute value on sound quality. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm You shouldn’t be shocked at the price of the standard Klimax LP12. If you take account of cartridges and phono stages, it’s about the same as the cost of a Technics SL-1000R. Second hand Klimax LP12s are cheaper, just like other turntable... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Audiophilia is a complex system. Every listener is different with different musical tastes and different gear in different environments. Taking the LP12 alone, there are a very many different permutations of components. Like in politics, people d... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable On the forum for my home town football club, we also have two opposing factions. They call each other the Happy Clappers and the Bed Wetters. Those names kind of fit the Linn polarisation too :) |
