Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade

Prices can’t be insulting. Only people can do that.

Manufacturers are entitled to set their prices as they see fit. If you consider a price too high, the remedy is in your own hands. Don’t buy the product. If sufficient people feel the same as you, it will fail in the market. So far, that has never happened to Linn so their track record is pretty good.

The Bedrok has been public knowledge for couple of years now. If it’s nothing special in its manufacture, why have none of the companies in the LP12 accessories market like Tangerine produced one cheaper?

It’s Insulting to every person alive and not yet born.

And no research, no new technology, I prefer the look/scale/properties of Baltic Plywood

http://Sony’s BMC, Bulk Molding Compound

The cabinet made of Sony’s Bulk Molding Compound (BMC).

Long a fixture in Sony anti-resonant design, BMC is carefully formulated for high strength and high internal loss.

Like steel, it has the rigidity required for its structural purpose. But unlike steel, BMC steadfastly resists vibration and resonance.

BMC consists of calcium carbonate (a principal component of marble), glass fiber reinforcement and unsaturated polyester.

I’m joking about the baltic birch, and it might be a poor choice,

but Linn's is just a lot of thinner layers of beechwood veneer, and nothing but pressure and glue, not separate layers transmitting differently and synergistically,

Or, I’m wrong, it could be a few pregnant termites pressed together at strategic vibration absorbent locations, a proprietary design from years of research for sure.

Satisfying Curiosity

I assumed (you know I got kicked in the assss for that) that Sony long ago had developed it's own BMC, but this just popped up, perhaps they just used some stuff available to all

4 brand names of BMC available to all

It’s nonsense to say that Bedrok is insulting to anyone, least of all everyone alive and not yet born.

Anybody who doesn’t want it can ignore it. 

In our free enterprise system, it’s open to anyone to market a similar product for less money if they can. Linn don’t have a monopoly on LP12 plinths.. 

Calm down for goodness sake.

ANYONE who would even take the Bedrok seriously, much less buy it,

is ’not yet born’, because their brain is not yet functioning. Less smart than the aforementioned pregnant termite which can at least resonate at the right time in the right place if properly trained.
