I too had a Basik Plus arm.Changed it out with my current Well Tempered Arm. If you can find one grab it....HUUUUUGE difference. Mine has been modded with VDH wiring, dual weighting and new arm wand. However,prior to the mods the diff between the Plus and the WTA was enormous. The WTA is very hard to beat. I have AB'ed it against a friends Ittok on LP12, beat the pants off the Ittok in both our opinions.
Best Tonearm Upgrades for Linn LP12
I've just purchased a used Linn Sondek LP12, which I selected because of the high starting quality for the table and all the upgrade possibilities. I have the Valhalla Power Supply and a Basik Plus tonearm. Currently, I'm using an old Grado G-1+ cartridge and I will upgrade to a Dynavector 10x4 or 20X-H soon.
My questions are: Which tonearms will make the greatest improvement for the least money? And which tonearms are great matches with the turntable?
