Making a plinth for a Linn LP12 turntable

This is part of my daily grind, I make these on a regular basis but thought it was interesting to show, the internals have to be very accurate on these. and the fully restored turntables look really nice.
Big thanks to Bob at Inspire hifi for letting me film the finished product at his shop.

All my years of woodworking.... I'm not worthy! Always a pleasure to watch a master at work.

[@kevinkelly6417]

Clearly this guy's an artist in woodwork, plus it also shows just how much work goes into making one of those famous plinths.

[@aikidoshi007]

I have an LP12 that I bought in 1978 that I still have. Had it refurbished last year, it's a work of art. Has a DynaVector DVD 5 arm that is amazing.

[@christopherward5065]

Amazing how much work goes into hand building that plinth. It looked incredibly precise and beautiful. The record player sounded excellent at the end. Brilliant!

[@tonyjedioftheforest1364]

I am now lucky enough to have one of these in maple for my Linn from Inspire Audio. Absolutely stunning craftsmanship.

[@jgbw6467]

I have been thoroughly enjoying watching you restore and make things. So much attention to detail. Absolutely fantastic. I also enjoy that the video is mostly silent. I've tried watching other makers and restorers but immediately turned off because they talk too much. You have the perfect recipe here. Look, absorb, enjoy and learn. 🤩

[@Adanacon]

Still one of the best sounding turntables out there. Nice job

That's a fine choice of music. Totally unexpected and appreciated. Always enjoyable to watch a craftsman at work.

[@philipvale1674]

Hi N,Y,WS . Very impressed with your workmanship, I used to work for an organ building company years ago called walkers in Brandon near Thetford, And I have done work for Simpsons the architects of London summer which are in one of the University of Cambridge, I'm now retired in the Dordogne in France I still wish I was back at work, Stay safe and keep up the amazing work you are very talented. I have been watching some of your rebuilds I actually own an LP 12 myself which I have had for about 30 years and I have actually been thinking about rebuilding the casework of it, but I was thinking along the lines of making it in solid core plywood like you made one of your other products. Perfection is paramount, where quality is the ultimate goal, I love watching your territorials, Stay safe always wear a face mask and head shield, Phil from the Moulin in France,

[@daveawb]

Thanks to you, I've just spent a fortune on materials and now have a built spray room with a spinning plinth... now I need to upgrade my compressor. I can only aspire to make something as beautiful as you do.

Das Plinth sieht nicht nur gut aus, sondern es klingt auch gut. Super Arbeit. Ich habe ein Abo dagelassen.

[@Cimone90]

Great example of why making jigs is necessary. This is just a simple box but the jigs for fitment and the cutouts make repeatability fast and easy.

[@AZCobraman]

I miss my Linn...would have been fun to make a custom plinth like this for it. Well done!

[@christopherbedford9897]

What always staggers me with vids like this is starting with what looks like a nondescript bit of old scrap wood and, well, after a bit of planing it looks - yeah, ok, slightly better... then suddenly at one point: bam. Take that. Beauty beyond description.

[@philclennell]

How refreshing to see solid hardwood used rather than veneered super-duper-vibration-deadening MDF or similar. A great blend of my favourite hobbies - hi fi and woodwork. Bravo!

I first saw your vid of the Oak door, i was blown away by the ease with which you use those huge power tools to craft the door but i also noticed your attention to detail.....fast forward/backwards and you are crafting a new plinth for a LP12! there were some low comments posted about "doesnt used hand tools" which i took great exception to, as they had completely missed your attention to detail...or great post Editing work you have learned. I have an old LP12 which needs a lot of love, perhaps a new plinth may do just that.

Superb job Russ! Your high calibre joinery matches the high calibre of the Linn hi-fi turntable. Hope your customer who ordered the plinth was happy with your work. I know I would be! Can't help to be impressed by your skills, attention to detail and how you forward plan some processes to save time/make the job easier for yourself. Like leaving those support blocks part-sawn/attached for the step and repeat drilling. Your customers' choice of music was rather inappropriate! He could have played "If I Were A Carpenter" (Tim Hardin/Bobby Darin/FourTops) or "If I Had A Hammer" (maybe?) by Trini Lopez 👍👍😏! Anyway, each to his own! Good work mate. Always looking forward to your next project.

No offence intended but Ittok is light years better and Ekos better still

[@RobWhittlestone]

@@Gez492 No offence taken, old bean. As father of a young family I couldn‘t afford more. Now sold. I was never happy with vinyl tic-tic-tic schkursch schkursch. Now have excellent sound from Primare/DAC/Exposure/KEF Reference+Townshend with outstanding resolution, timbre, range and dynamics. Cables and physical decoupling made a HUGE difference.

[@Gez492]

@@RobWhittlestone Very nice system Rob, I very much have respect for your chosen manufacturers. Me I'm an analogue guy I have come to appreciate digital more recently, streamers and in particular DACs have improved greatly. Kind of liked some DSD stuff I listened to recently too but I think I don't see it as a challenge to my LP12 which has been up graded an modified greatly over the years went away from Linn upgrades to this. www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/1120/Linn_LP12_Turntable_Mober_Motor_Synergistic_Research_Record_Weight_Mat_Review.htm Gamer changer for me with the Ekos SE is up there with anything I've heard. I have a Tim de Pavaracini designed EAR Yoshino 912 tube pre amp and phono stage in my system, mated to a monster Grant Lumley ST70 Tube power amp the synergy is sublime. Used in both ultra linear or Triode mode. I have used and still own some huge transistor pre and power combos but nothing touches vacuum tubes. I thought I'd never be smitten but once heard properly, I will never go back. I use continous cast solid silver speaker cables to mate up to stunning Proac Response 3.8 floor standers. I will more than likely invest in a good tube based CD player maybe something from Lector or Audio Research. I do think well recorded CDs before they started crushing the dynamics with compression sound very good. I doubt I need more resolution in my life than that. The quality records being put there now are simply a better listening experience than digital to me. It's not all about Hi Res and analytical listening for me. My kids listen to my main system from time to time and bring their friends into listen too. The astonishment on their faces is reward enough. I have offered to let them stream via my dragon fly red and laptop but they invariably say we want to listen to the Turntable, there is genuine wonderment in their eyes and oh my I wish I had their young ears. I have two REL S3 SHO Subs which I plan on integrating into the system soon but I'm going to try a little room treatment alongside them so it's a bit of a project in waiting that! Early and brief use was revealing, lots of promise there I think. We have alot in common I think, high quality Audio reproduction and a love of music which you must have also with the investment you've made just as I have. Enjoy nice to talk with you sir.

[@RobWhittlestone]

@@Gez492 Tim de Paravicini is one of my heroes: sadly passed away now. Will read/reply more later.

[@RobWhittlestone]

@@Gez492 Hi Gerald have now read your post in full - indeed we have a lot in common, though I don't think my outlay can match yours! Another factor for me was my CD collection outstripped my vinyl collection in the late 80's (I was never happy with vinyl sound) and now have close to four figures of silver discs. Thanks to recent tweaks I am now very happy with the sound and have been stocking up on more classical and am re-discovering my older disks with new clarity and resolution. My youngest just received her first system of secondhand but respectable components (vinyl - her wish and streaming!), something I shall do for all my single children. My ex-boss is a hi-fi fan and came for a music evening recently. He has a good system but said he'd never heard such resolution or dynamics before - it's all in the tweaking. I'm tempted to try one or two RELs to complement my KEFs for foundational bass. My room is not good but SWIMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) would not like many of the correctional measures I would use. Very nice exchanging with you, all the best, Rob

excellent... if the original LINN ones aren't made like this - they should be !!. Now the plinths have an additional routed rebate for a cable clamp for the mains cable, and steel corner brackets were added in 2008, with 2 off Nr6 x 13mm St.Steel Philips screws. I hope the one i bought from Canada is as well made as this one. It doesn't like as nice as this one as the finish seems to be tinted brown and covers a lot of the walnut grain so i will sand it back and refinish it.

The only job I ever had was in the 80's selling hi end Hi-Fi. We sold a Koetsu Red Signature to a customer for his LP12 and a week later he walked into th eshop to tell us he needed another as his cleaner had caught it with her duster!!!!!! AsI recall that was a 12-13K (UKGBP) mistake.

[@nelsonclub7722]

@@breakoutpete210 It absolutely was one of those moments - I forgot to add - he didn't even sack the cleaner - this was Audio Excellence in Gloucester UK Circa 87 - just one other quick story - the best sale I ever did - was this - two lads arrived in the shop on a Friday night near to closing time. They had parked up a beaten up old Audi on the pavement outside. The manager (won't say his name here) ignored these seemingly pair of oiks as they wandered round looking at this and that - afterwards he told me he thought they were going to grab something and run - .I went up and asked if I could help. After learning that they had just inherited a fortune and were having a party in a big old empty house in Bristol (I think it was their Mothers)and they needed something loud!!!! I sold them the following: 1 Krell CD player - 12K 1 Audio Research SP9 - 8K (??) 2 Mark Levinson Mono Power Amps 24K 1 A pair of the absolute mighty and the only pair sold by us Infinity IRS MkV's 45K. We did not have any of the speakers - all I had was a picture of them in a Hi-Fi magazine!!!!! Total bill was over 100K - the entire transaction from them walking in to leaving was no more than around half an hour. The manager and I did the install it all with an Infinity Rep who brought the only pair in the UK as a loaner on a lorry!!!! -And we were all invited to the party - I have to say that to this day it is quite simply the best sound I have ever heard. They were the nicest lads you could ever meet - had been made instant millionaires and were 100% into their music - we added a Mitchell Syncro to the rig later and graciously stored the kit for a while whilst the house they had it in was being renovated - the owner of the business had the entire kit installed in his own house for a bit before it went back for what I assume was another housewarming party!!!!

[@breakoutpete210]

@@nelsonclub7722...a dream scenario...👌🎼🔊

[@nelsonclub7722]

​@@breakoutpete210 Indeed - I envy the sound of your LP12 - one of the seetest yet fullest sounds from an MC I have ever heard - the soundstage is open and yet with such pinpoint accuracy if you close your eyes you can hear it in 3d - I do remember - 1 last story - I had a friend who owned an Italian coffee shop in Gloucester - The ROma Cafe - appropriately enough - I used to catch a bus into work and then had a 30 minute walk to the shop down the Bristol Rd - because the bus got in to town so early I always had 30minutes to spare and so every morning I would get a coffee and some times a slice - if there was any left - of his mothers homemade apple pie with cream - it was a great way to start the day - one day Tony - the owner and I got talking and as it turned out was a hi fi enthusiast - and he was always interested in what was new, what was coming out but I never once got him to commit to coming into the shop to try anything. He had an LP12 with a Linn MC (can't recall which one) - and a little Naim pre-power and he was 'very happy' with it. We would sit every morning and chew the fat over this and that and putting the world to rights and what not and very occasionally talk about hi-fi. One day after about two years he said 'I'm thinking of changing my speakers' he had a Linn pair - again can't remember which ones. Now this was a big deal. Tony was very reserved when it came to change and more importantly spending any money. So months went by with me recommending everything I could think of - every time we would set them up in our dem room - he would come and listen and it was always the same - I would shut the door leave him to it and then after about twenty minutes he would appear downstairs - 'they're not quite right'. Having exhausted everything in our shop and the other branches I was out of options. Then one day a man called Sven appeared in the shop - he was Swedish and he had a pair of speakers which he thought we should listen to. We helped to get them in from out of his Volvo estate (obviously he being Swedish) and brought them in and hooked them up to a few things. These speakers were the SD-1's. I can only describe them as a sort of unfinished Ikea flat pack wardrobe in a dreary brown. They were an 'open front' design - a paper cone 10" bass unit at the bottom, a mid range unit half way up and a tweeter at the top - one of those was made from horse hair but I can't remember which one it was. We didn't like them. There was no dynamism, no oomph, no get up and go, nothing to really like at all - and boy were they ugly. And big. Like having two homemade single wardrobes with off looking electronics and wires where a door should be. We were of course polite but thanks they were not for us. So the very next morning I was regaling this story to Tony in the cafe and he said "I want to listen to them". Now this was an issue since as far as I was aware Sven was doing the rounds with the all the H-Fi shops in England and tracking him down would be tricky. Weeks went by and every day in the cafe it was the same question. "Have you found Sven yet?". And the answer was sadly always the same. "No." AndI tried. I phoned as many shops as I could, everyone had either already seen him or did not have a clue who or what I was talking about. More weeks went by, and then I saw a review in a Hi Fi magazine of them with a phone number to contact the company if you were interested. I phoned it and Sven answered. He was back in Sweden and about to head to Austria with these things. I asked if he could send them to us for a customer to listen to. He said no he couldn't send them as the boxes had become so damaged - so he would bring them personally to the shop. Again. Now my manager at this point had become very sceptical - he too had spent some time with Tony and feared that what he wanted could not be found - and I was very much on notice that if these speakers did not work for Tony then he would not entertain any more dems or time to his seemingly lost cause. Sven appeared a few days later with the speakers. I had already arranged to have Tony in the shop when he arrived. We carried them in, we carried them upstairs, we plugged them in to the same set up Tony had and I sat there and said to Tony who had brought just 1 record in with him. "Ready?" He was. But there was a problem. In the transit one of the mid range units had become damaged - Sven was mortified - all this way for nothing. He tried for hours to get them to work - using our basic tools for setting up hi fi which included pliers and wire cutters he managed to get them working with a about ten minutes before the shop was due to shut. I picked up the tonearm and gently placed it on the vinyl and joined Sven and Tony on the large sofa we had and sat back and waited with extreme nervousness. As the first notes played I had a telephone call I had to take for another customer and left them to it. Then I had to go and do a delivery so left them all to it bidding kind farwells. NExt morning in the cafe I asked Tony how he had got on. He had bought them!!!! Right. So is he going to send you a new pair? No, the pair he brought over - they had struck a deal, the shop made a few quid and now it was my job to co-ordinate an install. Now I must mention at this point that up until this point I had never been to Tony's home. So when I asked where he lived I was more than a bit surprised to find he lived upstairs above the cafe. It had simply never occurred to me. So a few days later myself, the manager and our faithful saturday assistant were ready to help install. We arrived att he shop after it had closed and Tony was there to help. First question was "Right where are they going" Tony opened a side door to the cafe and there before us was a spiral staircase!!! After an hour or so it was clear these were not going to go up those stairs. There was only one option. Take the speakers apart and then put them back together again once they were up - and so with wires still connecting all the electronics and careful manhandling of component parts we managed to get them upstairs and into the living room. Which is when we saw our next problem. Tony's little Linn speakers which were on bookshelf (Kans maybe?) and amongst all the antiquities, figurines, statuettes and porcelain this and fragile that I simply could not see where these things were going to go. Tony had it all worked out though. One would go into the 'L-shape' of the living room near to a window and the other would sit near to the hi-fi which was almost nest to where he would be sitting to listen to them. But Tony we all said, you can't do that, you need proper balance, equidistance and all that - he was having none of it - so with a cable of about 1/5 metres and the other about 10metres we got them all hooked up and then we all crammed together on a very ornate little chaise lounge to have a listen to these now almost legendary speakers. Tony did the honours. The needle went down and squished his way in between us. I couldn't hear anything, nor could anyone else - there were furtive looks this way and that - had we wired them up right? Was everything switched on...? Then there was a sound, a very small sound, almost imperceptible, but there it was, a piano, light, airy, but very quiet. I was thinking of getting up and turning it up and Tony must have known that because I recall he just touched my arm and said something I will never forget. "Don't listen to the equipment, just enjoy the music'. And he was right as I have to say it was the most exquisite thing imaginable - no drama, no thundering bass, the soundstage was beyond anything I have ever heard just little tinkles of this and sweet murmurings of that - and when I looked across at him he had his eyes closed and was just saying 'beeyootifull, just beeyootifull' over and over again. Well my manager was happy as a week later Tony came in and bought a Linn Troika cartridge and over the next few years he upgraded all his Naim amps so all was well. Also in the years I worked there and caught the bus I never once paid for another coffee or a piece of his apple pie again!!!!! Thanks for listening - thanks for reading take care stay safe.

[@capricorn839]

[@doczoff5655]

Hey Paul, Audion Amps used to offer wood cheeks as optional extras for their superb Edison E30 valve amp kits (the cheeks are basically solid wood slabs with a single large rebate to match the amp chassis sides... I'm sure Audion will be able to supply 'Yorkshire CAD' drawings), but they currently can't find a supplier who can make them... seriously, there really could be another audiophile market niche for you there. Also cracking job on the Linn plinth! So now I'm thinking how cool my LP12 and Edison would look with matched wood finishes... go on drop them an email!!
