Time to update your profile.
I bet that’s a breath of fresh air and great body clearance too. :sunglasses: :+1:t2:

Is that an Umami Blue?
Very nice🙂

I do love the PU7!

Yes! Now I need to remember how to update it in my profile

Yes. Very different than the Krystal

In what way please? Possible to describe?

The very battered Troika for my second LP12 is on its way to Goldring for a complete rebuild. It will be great to have it back soon.

Have a look at Solid Sounds (near Leeds) for some beautiful plinths.

Or Simon Price (via Peter at Cymbiosis).

Something like this in Bamboo from Solid Sounds would be suit me .

Also with Bamboo there are no questions as to governance - same with Eucalyptus

_Hasten to add, this is not my LP12 but a stock photo .

Ian, I have a Solid Sounds Wenge plinth on my LP12. It’s beautifully made, and I recommend Solid Sounds (near Leeds in Yorkshire) very highly to anyone interested in something a bit different to Linn’s own (excellent) plinths.

I was really impressed with what I saw

PS When you have your second LP12 , perhaps ask Peter to take a photo and post it? (I know that there are different rules for Trade Members - so this may not be possible , but an ARO and a Nait 50 are a good combination

That sounds a very special second system you are setting up , and I can see exactly what you are trying to achieve

Thanks, Ian, I can’t see why there would be a problem with Peter posting a photo. I would do it myself, but I’m useless at that sort of thing. Perhaps Peter can use my log in to post a photo.

Anyway, I am sure that a way will be found!!

Incidentally, that Solid Sounds bamboo plinth is called something like ‘Bamboo Stack’, made up of many individual pieces of bamboo. I have never seen anything like it anywhere else.

I’m very happy with my Wenge one.

(Although I fear that Wenge wood may soon gain ‘endangered’ status, and so become unavailable for use. Whatever happens, no one is having my plinth!)

Have you looked at Brian & Trevor’s Booplinth which is cut from a solid block of bamboo?

I saw that, and was very interested in the design concept, but I couldn’t justify taking things further, as I had recently bought my Wenge plinth, which I’m not interested in changing.

I’ve invited Ian to visit me, so he can make his own judgment.

I may, at that point, have my second LP12, with a Simon Price Cherrywood plinth, courtesy of Peter Swain of Cymbiosis.

Agreed. Can’t beat em. They also don’t make an LP12 look like it has a middle-aged spread, imho :wink: :grin:

I have an LP12 in the works for my wife’s system from Peter too.
It will hopefully have a nice vintage fluted Cherry plinth to match her Linn Keilidhs🙂
I like seeing pictures of all these lovely exotic plinths, but Cherry is our preference whether…


…Smooth (mine above) or Fluted. :blush:
