It's only a rip off if you buy it and whats a mere 8.5% to a fanatical Linn buyer?

I followed a link from that page which gave me access to a blog. The author had just returned from Hong Kong where he had been to "fettle a couple of LP12 for a customer". Who gets someone to travel half-way round the world to perform maintenance that simply should not be necessary?

Best thing about that add is cymbosis double speak . "first across the board price increase in 8 years"

that will because all prices have individually increased at separate points in time in the past 8 years .

Across the board my arse .

"An increase of 8.5% will take effect on 1st October 2016 for all current products. Exclusions to this increase are:"

If there are exclusions it isn't across the board.

Anybody who still defends that company IN ANY WAY has to either not have a brain or has given it to them.

I would imagine that a Thorens belt would fit at under half the price, but you would need a brain to work that out.

They can only do it because of the amount of suckers who have been taken in for 30+ years. Not easy to admit you have been a brain washed idiot for that length of time.
