In Reply to: On the contrary, an LP12 is very profitable posted by Rob Doorack on April 29, 2007 at 07:09:41:
*Linn's recent announcement of the new "Keel" subchassis for the LP-12 shows that they're committed to the product.*
I would think that only for a very select market. Mainly in the Orient where an LP12 is still highly regarded.A new arm and a subchassis might have a bigger margin, but I'd think that they need a lot of volume to make a substantial profit.
I just don't see most of current LP12 users shelling out 5k$ for a Linn arm and 4k for a piece of metal, tbh.
If Ivor thinks that an LP12 can save the company, more power to him, but I am very skeptical.
Follow Ups:
As I wrote above, I got the info about the LP-12's manufacturing cost and Mr. Tiefenbrun's commitment to continue it's production straight from a Linn rep. By the way, I did not write anything like "if Ivor thinks that an LP12 can save the company..."; I don't know where you got that notion. Obviously Linn doesn't sell enough turntables to support a company with hundreds of employees. The point is that the LP-12s they do sell are quite profitable.

well, too bad that it's not enough.I was looking more from an overall picture where one product that is profitable is just a drop in a bucket.
