The 50 was available in white. Always in very small quantities. The Bedrok is available in just the one finish.

Does anyone think it looks odd with the top grain going left to right and then front to back stripes on the side? It looks a bit cheap, like something from Ikea.

It’s not real grain it’s random composite machined 
Very thick plywood machined out

Yes, to me it looks like plywood with some cheap veneer on top. Maybe it looks better in the flesh, but I will probably never see one.

According to Linn it is “formed of orthogonal layers of beech placed under extreme pressure to create an entirely new, solid and massive material.”
If, like me, “orthogonal” is a new term for you, I looked it up and it means intersecting at right angles or perpendicularity.

Agreed,
At that price it’s definitely one aspect of LP12 design that’s never gonna bother me at home
On a positive note, I much prefer the way the arm board and top plate meet (in the corners) compared to the 50th deck. Such a tiny thing but it undid the curved design for me
Plywood, then!

I think it looks great tbh. The richness of the colour is lovely but what makes it for me is the lack of mitred corners. Would grace any system.

That looks like a Karmen top,plate , rather than the Linn stainless steel offering.
Exactly
Orientated plywood
I’ve ran a timber engineering factory doing roofs and glulam beams for machining.
Costs nothing like they say
Once the programme is set it does it on its own bit like milling Ali
Lots of nasty waste with glues and wood powder.
Think MDF only hardwood.

It’s a new job with rounded corners to fit the plinth.
Making it unique and not interchangeable. 
Must have.

Same but harder wood not bamboo.
Composite makes the structure more stable “ all the same “ and not grain dependant.

Bamboo is hard.
When you say more stable, how stable does it need to be? All plywoods move, irrelevant that there’s no grain involved. Humidity and temperature will bend ply exactly like solid wood.

My point here was just about the direction of the grain not the material. On a personal note I’ve always loved ply wood. There’s a firm in Hebden Bridge which sells the most beautiful plywood kitchens. I don’t think the bamboo looks great myself but plenty bought the plinth. I couldn’t tell any difference in sound quality when played in an AB demo but others swore it was an improvement and I believe it’s sold well. It’s no longer a Linn Sondek though
