| Linn LP12 turntable @daveyf Arms appear to be your particular bugbear. Other people may attach importance to other factors. Clearly, the LP12 does compete in the marketplace. I took Robert's statement that it can hold its own to mean just that. | |
| 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 h... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf Of course, you and other sophisticated consumers will make decisions about turntables as you see fit. That is as it should be, Where you are completely wrong is to claim that the game has changed because the price of the LP12 has increa... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf Your second paragraph is complete nonsense. The price of the LP12 relative to other turntables hasn’t changed at all. What has happened is that Linn, not for the first time, have launched a additional level of the turntable above the c... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf Linn’s target market for the Bedrok is existing owners of the Klimax LP12. Their choice is whether to stick with what they’ve got or upgrade to a Bedrok. No doubt, they will be some who go for the upgrade. The mere existence of the up... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf there’s potential reasons why Linn are confident of that: Better the devil you know - Linn have never let them down before Many customers have Exakt systems and want to keep their Urika IIs They like the LP12 sound Linn know that Be... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @olskool I am pleased to hear the BooPlinth was a success for you. I did see one at an audio show. Unfortunately, it wasn’t in use at the time so I can’t comment on its sound. My turntable is now back in action after a few weeks with a fault. ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @daveyf As I said, it’s only one guy’s opinion. Linn do have a very clear idea of what better means. However, I’m a little surprised that one or two people appear to be spending £8,750, without first listening. I guess they just have to have t... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade @olskool I saw some comments by a guy who had heard a direct comparison between the BooPlinth and Bedrok. I think it was in one of the Linn Facebook groups. He said that he preferred the BooPlitnth. Ok, it’s only one person’s opinion, but at le... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @daveyf Sorry, I don’t know enough about other high end turntables to comment on the Bedrok LP12’s ability to compete with them. The one thing I would say is Linn managed to sell a couple of hundred LP12-50s. That must amount to a few million ... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @daveyf In essence, all you’re saying is that it’s complicated. There’s a whole range of LP12s that can be compared with lots of other turntables. Is the LP12 going to win out in every case? Of course, it can’t. It all depends on what t... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @lewm It’s a case for the LP12 Radikal power supply that has been machined out of a solid block of aluminium. It matches other Klimax components in style. However, the considerably cheaper Standard or Akurate Radikal does exactly the same job. L... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @daveyf Has the price of the LP12 really increased that much? Yes, there have been upgrades that have added to the price, if buy them. You don’t need to though. There’s lot of talk about it being expensive. But very little in the way of price c... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable I’ll try to get back on track with a summary of my thoughts on the turntable. It is perfectly valid to suggest the LP12 might not be the best turntable option for everyone. For example, my grown up children all have ProJects because the LP12 was ... | |
| Power supply for ethernet switch? I found that an Sbooster BOTW 12V power supply gave me a nice improvement with my Melco S100 switch. |
