Many people talk about Linn synergy when their components are used together. However, Ivor Tiefenbrun himself has said on the Linn forums that Linn components are not made with the idea that they will only be used with other Linn gear. They are made to work well with other brands as well. The Ekos is a good arm and there is no reason why it wouldn't work well with another table. You just have to make sure that the hole in the armboard on the other table is drilled in the right location to fit the Ekos. This applies to any arm.
Linn Ekos for non-Linn Turntable?
I have an LP12 with Ekos arm which I have been thinking about replacing. As I already have the Ekos, I'm wondering whether it is worth keeping the arm and using it on something like a Raven One or Nottingham Dais.
A new arm such as a Triplanar, Phantom, Schroeder etc would cost two or three times what I would get for selling the Ekos, but would they be two or three times better? How good is the Ekos on a non-Linn turntable? Or should I just sell the lot and start again with a new arm and turntable?
