I used to have that table...it's pretty good...it can be beat...but I doubt for $1000 new...I'd get a new belt....a better cartridge and phono cable and enjoy a great table.
Your Linn Axis/Akito if well maintained (caps, motor, belt in good condition) is better than a new $1000 TT. It would not be a step forward. I own a mint Axis and have been auditioning new TTs in the $1500 range and am keeping the Axis. It has that great Linn house sound. Back in the 1980s, Linn built this affordable TT and it rivaled the LP12.
