Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade

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.

Hi fellow LP12 fans! Interesting reading posted by the group! I too am a dyed in the wool Linn LP12 fan! My table is “full spec” Klimax level that I’m pleased to say began at base Majic level and was brought up step by step together with my dealer over time to include every latest upgrade, including the spindle only with exception of the latest Ekos SE (with longer head shell area and the latest Bedrock Plinth. I can only reply about the Bedrock by saying Wowww! and that’s about the price only. I have no comment on value or performance.  I’m responding because I feel so fortunate to have spent a meager $2,500 US to get a Bamboo CNC’d BooPlinth installed a handful of years back (4+ years ago). It was such a profound boost in performance that I was dumbfounded by it (and remain so today)! To the point that I can’t believe it never gained more market footing and respect.   Other than the price, if the Bedrock brings half the audio performance increase achieved by the BooPlinth you may hear greatly improved stuff!  As far as value relates to money, Your Mileage may vary! I’m glad I invested in bringing my plinth up in performance! It was a serious dollars to performance value gain for me!
