Thanks - that's very interesting information.

I suppose now it's only a matter of time before the new machined from solid inner and outer platters - must be worth 3 - 4k :)

The other question that keeps popping up is why machine it from solid? Couldn't it be cast and then finish machined for a lot less money? The answer is that Linn must feel that there are performance advantages to doing it this way or they wouldn't do it. The idea that "it's what we do" is preposter...

I do have full access to the same kind of machines that the Keel is made with, but there is no way I would just make a copy. Hi - it's very interesting you have access to the machinery necessary to make the Keel. I've heard the Keel and Ekos SE compared against a standard deck and there is no doubt...
