| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) @russbutton That’s a bizarre comparison you’re suggesting there. Surely a more meaningful comparison would involve turntables and streamers of equal cost, whether at budget or high end. You’re conflating the comparison of vinyl versus streaming... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @richardbrand Fascinating Richard. It’s almost like everything is connected in some weird way. I also had experience of X-ray crystallography in a small way in the lab when studying Physics in the seventies at what is now the University of Westm... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) @mambacfa I agree with you in as far as that vinyl usually sounds better than digital formats or at least I prefer it. However, it’s not true that digital is an approximation. It can exactly reproduce the original waveform of the music on recon... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @richardbrand No wonder it’s expensive. Yes, I remember struggling at university with text book representations of three dimensional structures. It’s probably easier now with YouTube, etc. | |

| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @jasonbourne71 The CD12 was great back in its heyday. If anyone still wants one, Peter Tyson are selling one for about £4,000. I heard it a few months ago against a Klimax DSM/3 Hub and a Klimax LP12. Sadly, the CD12 was outclassed by the new... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @mylogic Hero worship? Don’t think so. On the one hand, he did great work promoting the importance of the source in hifi. On the other, he’s a Conservative. So feet of clay for me. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-11484322 | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade Since all you guys love Linn Products and the LP12 so much, I am sure you’ll want to wish Ivor Tiefenbrun a happy 79th birthday. Here is a little bit on him that I lifted from Facebook. “Born on March 18, 1946, Tiefenbrun founded Linn in Glasgow,... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf Thank you. In the days before social media, we used to think every village only had one idiot. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @dover The guy is Gordon Inch at Linn. I found him to be very approachable. He’ll no doubt be interested to hear your views on turntable set up. https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bx1f5zKML/ Let me know how you get on. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm Not at all. Feel free to comment as much as you want. But expect what you say to be challenged occasionally. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm Since you mention the title of this thread, it is in full “Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade.” It’s about a potential upgrade for a turntable that I own and you don’t. Not much point in you considering the upgrade if you don’t have the tur... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm Don't you see the irony that you make that 149th comment as someone who doesn't even own an LP12. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? @panzrwagn “Scottish Highlands” Do you mean Linn? They are in Glasgow for goodness sake. Hardly an exotic locale. I don’t doubt the VPI is a superb turntable, but warning bells always ring for me whenever anyone mentions the laws of physics. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? I always think Linn LP12 because that’s the one that I have been most familiar with. Maybe, it’s short sighted of me but I’ve never felt the need to look at anything more exotic than an LP12. For a short while, my Klimax LP12 has been at the top ... |
