Due to forum rules re. dealers posting about brands other than Naim (I do give some leeway re. the LP12 due to Naim’s offerings such as the Arm, NAPSA etc…), I’m not sure Peter can say much more here, so by all means do say more if you wish.

I wondered if this new plinth would filter down from the LP12 50. Interesting that Linn have managed to machine the crisp angles in the corners asa opposed to the rounded edge. Like the finish too!

Thanks for this Antz. I was wondering when/if this was going to happen.
I see the squared corners, but I’m assuming that other than that change, internally it’s the same as the plinth on the LP12-50 in that it’s machined from a single piece and has the extra corner bracing as part of the design?
My guess is that the extra heft and one piece design of the LP12-50 plinth is possibly even more important than the material it’s made of. I could of course be wrong…
Any inkling as to pricing?

Interesting that the grain goes left to right on the side pieces as a normal plinth has the mitred pieces that have the grain running top to bottom. I wonder if a painted option is available.

Just under £9k I’ve read elsewhere, included new top plate with rounded corners, you need to look closely for that.

It’s a reconstituted composite material so grain might be luck.
It’s the traditional shape I expected as the LP12 - 50 would have been spoiled.
Mmmm a new one in black. :+1:t2:

Looks better with square corners.

Yes bedrok in gloss black might be something really good.

Thank you Richard, It was a very good day here :slight_smile:

I can’t really add much to what Antony has said about them getting back into “getting back into vinyl with a Scottish company” but it’s certainly good news, but lets see where it goes…!

KR, Peter

For pure SQ, it would be interesting to compare this to a Stiletto/ Skorpion (which now seems like the cheap option of course).

For looks, some of the exotic wood plinths on the Show Us Your Sondek thread would take a lot but of beating.

No painted options I can confirm.

I doubt Sir Johnny Ive would agree with you on that one :joy: It’s all personal though and the new plinth and top plate combination did attract many great comments.

Grab a Stilletto while you can what a bargain. :+1:t2: :thinking:

Wood and stainless top plate, non of this aluminium crap :sweat_smile:

New top plate for standard deck and new hinges please.

Did anyone ask Gilad about mushrooms? :sweat_smile: Thank God Nick wasn’t there.

You mean “wood-ish”, yes?

Yes a lovely afternoon. Just shows the contribution made by the plinth. A couple more pics attached.

Interesting Peter as the LP12-50 was available in white.
Any information on what wood variations there may be?
Thanks
