Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade

"From $13,970" on linn.co.uk

Linn has a new plinth upgrade for the LP12.  

Wow, over $11,000 USD!

“Wow, over $13,970 USD!” + import tariff? A romantic tale, or a noromance?

Someone would have to be totally besotted or blindly in love to pay that.

If all that is real, the higher price probably reflects the imposition of a tariff by us on import of the bedrock. So there wouldn’t be any additional charge to the consumer; he’s already paying the tariff at the new US price. What’s already overpriced gets overprice-per.

It does not work like that normally in the UK unless Linn has some special way of loading the price for US consumers to compare the real cost “back home”

Linn over here would normally quote a retail price inclusive of 20% VAT. Linn may prepay the tariff this end so your shipment will sail quickly through your customs at your cost over here….. Now it makes sense.

Some tariff’s could change (but unlikely with the US/UK trading agreement) before a product even arrives. Some norms we are sure of like death and taxes, but since January 2025 we are not now living in “normal times” 

All prices on the Linn website reflect the new, post tariff pricing.  Those are retails to you.  Only added costs would be US sales tax and shipping if applicable. I am a Linn dealer.  If you see deviations it is because we haven’t had a chance to update our sites yet.  Linn’s site is accurate.
