Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade It is odd that the plinth would have such an impact on a spring suspended turntable. I can easily understand the power supply, bearing, sub chassis, but plinth? The fettlers I have talked to in the past all assured me that the plinth was the last ... | |
Linn LP12 turntable @zavato While I agree that the LP12 is an excellent table ,and I am a big fan of it, I also think that as the price increases, it begins to bump up against competition that would/should make one choose differently. | |
Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @noromance Agree. The banana junk was actually sold for $6.2M to a crypto genius. All of this could be considered as a spit in the eye to the waged, as you pointed out. | |
Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @olskool Nice to see you here again. Question, do you rank the Booplinth improvement in the same area as the bearing..ie. Cirkus to Karousel? For me, that was one of the best upgrades regarding SQ, and also value wise. Personally, I have a fe... | |
For Tube Folks... I still own a quad of matched GE 6550’s. I have them because they are a superb sounding tube and quite robust. I removed them from a Melos tube amp that I bought new and that used these as the power tubes. Replaced them after just a few hours use ... | |
HumminGuru vs.Degritter @pryso Here’s the protocol I use. Firstly, if the record is fairly new or clean, I skip the US step and just use wet vacuum. If the record is dirtier or older, and depending on condition, I will first do a US clean, always utilizing a surfactant... | |
Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade 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... | |
Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @ricco275 +1. I was thinking the same thing, but also thought that maybe that was just my dislike of the aesthetics. | |
How to dismantle Well Tempered for shipping? @lewm My ’WTA’ Black arm replaced my older Ekos 2. The improvement in sound staging, particularly the sense of depth was very noticeable. The only arm that might...might be better on the LP12 is an Ekos SE, but even that is not a 100%. I have don... | |
How to dismantle Well Tempered for shipping? I just went through part of this operation when I changed plinths on my LP12. The WTA arm is a royal pain to work with. Getting the silicone out of the cup was an exercise in frustration, as not all will be removed from the cup, leaving a nice mes... | |
Linn LP12 turntable @signaforce I don’t think anyone here is concerned about criticism of the Linn LP12 from folk who have at least a modicum of experience with the table. i certainly am not. However, as I pointed out earlier, the table and Linn and more importantly... | |
Linn LP12 turntable @lewm I am not implying anything...it is known, do a little research. | |
Linn LP12 turntable OP, Not hilarious. Anti-Semitism is exactly the opposite. | |
Linn LP12 turntable @vitussl101 There always seem to be folk on all audio forums who have little to no experience with a Linn LP12, but who also have no issue with denigrating the table for one reason or another. I suspect it is due to a few issues that these folk ... | |
Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I have not heard a Bedrok plinth...as such, I cannot state whether or not the impact on the SQ is worth it to me. But I can state that I will not denigrate or venerate the upgrade until I have had some experience with it... The price asked obviou... |
