Michell turntable price increase

[alchemist 1]

Just over 12%.............*sad*

That's a big hike, but then I always thought they were underpriced or great value, depending on your perspective.

Has there been a change of ownership, I wonder, or new bosses. I recall it was mostly a family affair.

They haven't had a price rise for quite some time until this one.

I haven't had a pay rise either for quite some time...I'm still waiting *biggrin*

I would venture to guess that it's due to the fall of the pound.

I believe the price increase was either the beginning of April or May.

I can't see how the GBP value is relevant to a UK manufacturer unless most of the content is bought from abroad, which doesn't seem to be the case with Michell. It probably gets them into line with their peers, who may have crept up a few percent each year and with each tweak.

I'd expect Project to go up for this reason, but only once the prudent importer's currency hedging has lapsed.

 

[Al ears]

I'd agree. You get what you pay for. They were always cheap taking all into account. Brings them in line somehow to the likes of Origin Live and the ever overpriced Linnn LP12.
