Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade

@daveyf

In that case, we are in agreement.

I have already said that the new Bedrock version of LP12 enters a new segment of the market, different from where the current Select and Klimax configurations are positioned. No one can know for sure how successful this venture will be.

As I am not currently considering any turntable purchases, the number of competitors the LP12 has is neither to my liking or disliking. These are not football teams to support, merely products that some people may chose between. It’s not a matter of being a fan of anything.

We’ve already been through the various reasons why a Klimax LP12 owner might chose to upgrade to the Bedrok. I don’t subscribe to your somewhat jaundiced view that those who follow this route are blind and besotted.

In Europe, a Clearaudio Innovation is under €11,000. That gets you two panzerholz/alu chassis, plus ceramic magnetic bearing, stainless/POM platter etc.

@newton_john  I think you misread a lot into my posts. I did not state that all Bedrok buyers are 'blind and besotted'. I did say that I am not 'blind and besotted' when it comes to the various Linn products. There certainly are, at least IMO, a lot of Linn consumers who this applies to ( blind and besotted when it comes to the line). Not necessarily all of the Bedrok consumers, like you assumed I stated. 

Also, notice what @yoyoyaya  posted above. The price of the table he references equates to JUST the price of the Bedrok plinth in the US! 

@daveyf

Humble apologies. I got that totally wrong. I should have realised it would have been out of character for you to say something like that. Sorry, I’ll read more carefully next time.

I look forward to a company such as Tangerine Audio bringing out a cheaper version of the Bedrok.

@newton_john No worries mate, it’s just a hobby. Now back to discussing the many attributes of the Linn LP12 table.
