I’ve honestly absolutely no idea what point you’re trying to make. Linn not marketing their wares? Buying chocolate?

……….I don't recall Linn doing marketing during the time I bought kit from their shop in Glasgow (or any other time)………. Perhaps marketing is lost on me.
Do I believe that the shop selling the chocolate has imbued it with magical qualities not found in other chocolate? No.
Am I going to wake up tomorrow and express anger at the company that made the chocolate? No.
As an adult I can make a decision.
On the occasions I'd drinks with Ivor in Glasgow (prior to me buying Linn products) I don't recall him ever talking about HiFi. The conversation was typical Glaswegian banter.
Thanks again for the information Thomas, it's much appreciated. For the most part, I can wait for the new Utopik power supply...I suspect it will be worth the wait!ThomasOK wrote: ↑2024-04-04 20:36 This hasn't been commented on in a while but I thought I'd put in an additional word or two. I am not expecting to see the Utopik for Radikal this year. I put my money where my mouth is and recently ordered a Radikal2 for my second LP12 instead of waiting for Linn to add the Utopik. The latest word is that the LP12-50 production is paused. Current estimates are that the last of the LP12-50s may not be delivered until September. This does not look positive for an early release of a Bedrok plinth upgrade nor for the Utopik for Radikal. Why, you ask? Imagine buying a $60,000 turntable from Linn and finding out that partway through the production, or even just after it, that they have come out with a new upgrade for the power supply and want you to pay another roughly $1400 for it. That is likely to go over like a lead balloon! Probably better to wait six or so months after the LP12-50s are all delivered to announce a PS upgrade.
