considering re-entry to vinyl Linn 12

I am considering re-entry into the vinyl range
did a little research here and seems Linn would be money well spent. I have lots of old vinyl and even many japanese pressings from the early 80's played once, taped to my nakamichi

have an option on a Linn Sondek LP12 Ittock LVII with a K9 cartridge

would also need a phono stage _ have Audio Research LS-5 line stage (balanced inputs)

any suggestions on the Linn, a compatible phono stage and maybe a wall isolation platform (won't fit in my current rack)

any other suggestions would help
I have an old B&O 1700 - my 80's table

thanks

Tom's ("Twl") suggestions are to be taken seriously. I have a similar setup, but with the Linn Arkiv cartridge.

I have found the solid state Blue Circle phono stage to be extremely compatible, although many Linn aficionados will curse me and say that Linn's phono stage is superior. There was an interesting phono stage shootout in last year's Sept/Oct "The Listener," which included the Linn.
More to discover
