| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @lewm Don't you see the irony that you make that 149th comment as someone who doesn't even own an LP12. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? @panzrwagn “Scottish Highlands” Do you mean Linn? They are in Glasgow for goodness sake. Hardly an exotic locale. I don’t doubt the VPI is a superb turntable, but warning bells always ring for me whenever anyone mentions the laws of physics. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? I always think Linn LP12 because that’s the one that I have been most familiar with. Maybe, it’s short sighted of me but I’ve never felt the need to look at anything more exotic than an LP12. For a short while, my Klimax LP12 has been at the top ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf Thank you. Just to explain, it wasn’t the same LP12. I sold my original turntable in a fit of madness five years ago. About two years ago I started to have a yearning for vinyl again. My dealer lent me an LP12 that had been traded in. I... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf That’s very interesting. I always thought that anyone trained by Linn could do it as well as anyone else. The guy who looks after me now has 35 years experience. That may go some way to explain why I have enjoyed vinyl so much more rece... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @mark200mph Then at least some good has come out of it. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf I can only speak as I find. Sorry to hear you’ve experienced problems. Linn are a relatively small company and it’s a big world. It’s bound to face some challenges. Yet, I have a friend in North America who is happy with his local Linn... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf “That is exactly what I am saying. If a hobbyist is willing to pull the trigger at a price of $40K or $60K then yes, I am pretty certain that this very same hobbyists can afford a $100K. Otherwise they probably shouldn’t be pulling the t... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf “@newton_john Again, your post is not really my point.” It is hard to pin down what your point is. “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... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf There’s just one more thing in relation to what you say above. It’s not a straight choice between upgrading a Klimax LP12 to Bedrok or selling it to buy another brand of turntable. I would suggest that a far more likely option for most ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade Linn do machining of Klimax cases out of solid blocks of aluminium. So I guess the machining of the Bedrok is not beyond them, it must just suit them to outsource it. The Bedrok has been sculpted out to the extent necessary to accommodate the sub... | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? Since the early eighties, my turntable upgrades have come along at fifteen year intervals. At that rate, I’ll never do another one. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @daveyf At the end of the day, it comes down to a tension between how much we value the benefit to sound quality and how deep our pockets are. I have long since come to the conclusion that there’s no need to be at the cutting edge all the time. ... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @daveyf At present, I am enjoying vinyl so much that I can’t imagine needing any more upgrades. Certainly not the two options that Linn are offering me, Exstatik and Bedrok. Those two would cost considerably more than I spent on acquiring and u... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @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 br... |
