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 massively more expensive than the Technics.

I showed you evidence from the UK that clearly shows that it is in fact the other way round.

If you now want dispute that, I suggest you get hold of the US Linn price list and make the comparison on a fair like for like basis in dollars. I’ll be very surprised if it makes that much difference.

an insulting price,

Denon DK-300, $354. in 1981, including the dust cover, 65mm thick

JVC 7 layer composite plinths are 59mm thick, also with dust cover

Linn's is 66mm thick, no special composite, just beechwood, glue, pressure.

Sony made a rare composite plinth, I can't find it quickly, going out the door now

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 people feel the same as you, it will fail in the market. So far, that has never happened to Linn so their track record is pretty good.

The Bedrok has been public knowledge for couple of years now. If it’s nothing special in its manufacture, why have none of the companies in the LP12 accessories market like Tangerine produced one cheaper?

It’s Insulting to every person alive and not yet born.

And no research, no new technology, I prefer the look/scale/properties of Baltic Plywood

http://Sony’s BMC, Bulk Molding Compound

The cabinet made of Sony’s Bulk Molding Compound (BMC).

Long a fixture in Sony anti-resonant design, BMC is carefully formulated for high strength and high internal loss.

Like steel, it has the rigidity required for its structural purpose. But unlike steel, BMC steadfastly resists vibration and resonance.

BMC consists of calcium carbonate (a principal component of marble), glass fiber reinforcement and unsaturated polyester.

I’m joking about the baltic birch, and it might be a poor choice,

but Linn's is just a lot of thinner layers of beechwood veneer, and nothing but pressure and glue, not separate layers transmitting differently and synergistically,

Or, I’m wrong, it could be a few pregnant termites pressed together at strategic vibration absorbent locations, a proprietary design from years of research for sure.

Satisfying Curiosity

I assumed (you know I got kicked in the assss for that) that Sony long ago had developed it's own BMC, but this just popped up, perhaps they just used some stuff available to all

4 brand names of BMC available to all
