I too have a Linn Sondek LP12,(about 25 years old),and recently had it gone thru, updated, and pretty much rebuilt. I put a Linn Adikt MM cartridge on my old Ittok arm. Great scott! At 6.5mv of output this cartridge has so much gain I have to throddle back the input on my phono stage. Great sounding cartridge, smooth, articulate, and punch galore. You should definately go with the Adikt!
Best MM cartridge for Linn Sondek/Ittok LV II arm?
My Linn Karma moving coil cartridge is old (ca 1990) and must be wearing/worn out. Plus, I'm changing my pre-amplifier to an Anthem 225 integrated amplifier, which has phono input only for moving magnet cartridges. I would appreciate recommendations for a moving magnet cartridge that would compliment my Linn Sondek LP12 turntable and my Linn Ittok LV II tonearm. My budget is $250-$350. Listening tastes are broad--acoustic, choral, symphonic, blues, jazz. Monitor GR 60 loudspeakers. Thanks!
