Akiva or Titan

I am looking to replace the Arkiv B in my Linn LP12. I am trying to decide whether it is worth the extra $1500 to go with the Lyra Titan.

One concern I have is volume. With the Arkiv B in my system, I really have to crank up the volume. (My system is listed under "2 Channel Basement Stereo") Will either of these cartridges exacerbate the problem?

Thanks to all who responded for the good information.

I do have the Ref phono set to the high gain setting.

I have considered using a step up transformer, but I am concerned about introducing distortion.

I checked with my dealer. The trade in for an Arkiv B to an Akiva is $950. Placed the order this afternoon. Can't wait to get it in.

Thanks again.
