Linn- Ekos or PS Audio 300


It's time to update my LP12. Can I get some input as to whether to purchase the Linn Lingo or the PS Audio. I'm leaning towards the PS as it gives me the flexibility later to use it with different gear. Also a choice for a reference cartridge is either the Arkiv or the Benz Ruby any help would be appreciated.

I have had all this gear at one time or another. The Lingo makes a big improvement in sound and gives you 45rpm. I'd go with the Lingo. You can't use the multiwave option with the PS if you plug your LP 12 into it. If you go with the Lingo now you can add the PS down the road and have it all.

I had an Arkiv and a Ruby 2 in my Ekos. The Ruby is warmer, tracks much better and is cheaper to retip. This one is hard to call without knowing what your priorities are. I prefer the Benz but that was in my system which can be a bit bright.
