| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @dover Sorry to disappoint you, but the current LP12 does not fall out of tune, once it has been set up correctly, it stays that way. Linn addressed the problem years ago, @yoyoyaya The idea that the table needs to be set up by someone who ha... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john Your assumption about the Linn training was my assumption too. That was drastically altered once i heard what the new ’fettler’ was able to accomplish with my table. Not that the old tech was bad, just that there were a few things th... | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? Another question would be whether to spend the extra money on the cartridge, or to allot the funds upstream.to the arm or the table. If you have a table and arm that are at the very top level, then the funds put towards the cartridge would make se... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john Thanks. I didn't really experience problems with Linn, I experienced problems due to the lack of local dealer support. The gent whom I went to to 'fettle' my Linn is as stated, hundreds of miles north of me, BUT he was well worth vis... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john Let me relate something to you...which may or may not be relevant to our discussion, I had a conversation with a Linn rep about a year ago, this person was in Scotland ( because at the time they had fired or dropped their US rep, pref... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade "Are you saying that someone who can afford $40K is just as likely to spend $100? I would doubt that – it is a massive jump. It remains to be seen whether the Bedrok becomes a success for Linn. However, the LP12-50 did sell." That is exactly w... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john Again, your post is not really my point. I’m sure you are correct that if a LP12 Klimax owner is currently happy with his table, he won’t be selling it, and certainly not at a loss. Plus, like you mention, the Klimax LP12 is an excel... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm Presumably you are talking about the Booplinth? You ask some great questions, why no bracing etc., There have been a number of aftermarket plinth makers, some involving all metal plinths, various wood combo’s etc., none of these have been ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @yoyoyaya That aspect makes it even worse! I have to question how many folks will pony up for the Bedrok, vs. simply going in another direction with another table, at a price like you brought our attention to. Interesting thing, and I’m not sure ... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @newton_john Another very good point. One that I’m not sure Linn has fully considered. The cost to benefit ratio. This ratio seems to be going further into the negative aspect in all of high end…IOW, the cost is far too great for the benefit, alb... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john No worries mate, it’s just a hobby. Now back to discussing the many attributes of the Linn LP12 table. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @newton_john The lack of choice for an arm for the LP12 platform, one that will have synergy with the old fruit box, is IMO the biggest down side of ownership of this table. So, yes, that is, as you say..my particular bugbear. Plus, the old war h... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @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 l... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @robob You say the LP12 can hold its own with just about any table produced. While I wouldn’t go that far, as I have heard some amazing tables, like the Brinkmann, the new Esoteric, and even the SAT, I have not compared them in my system. I do fe... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @newton_john I am not saying that the entry level price of the LP12 Majik is any less competitive than it was before, nor the other variations up to the Klimax. But I do think that when you add the cost of the new Bedrok to the Klimax, or probabl... |
