Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade

I just knew this thread would not disappoint! On another note, I'm feeling fortunate that my floor is a concrete slab, so I don't have to worry about dreaded "footfalls." After reading about this on Audiogon, I went over to my turntable while it was playing and jumped up and down; my eyes and ears did not detect any change in the music.

The only issue with that plinth is that it doesn’t look good. Spending good money on such an upgrade should reward the eye and not only the ear. Especially if you want to resonate with Linn clients. 

@ricco275   +1. I was thinking the same thing, but also thought that maybe that was just my dislike of the aesthetics. 

@daveyf it’s hurting my eyes. Stack audio made 2 prototypes of an LP12 plinth made of aluminium with black wood veneer to die for. 

I just replaced my original Afro fluted plinth with a new Linn Oak plinth. Looks amazing and sounds better. Personally, i think the Oak plinth looks far better than the new Bedrok...maybe not as great an increase in SQ, but the price difference is major.
