I'd stay with the Linn. Get the Cirkus update and look into another cart. Suspended 'tables usually will deliver a rather deep bass and soundstage. I'm confused that you should be craving more bass as the LP12 is usually thought of as having a bit of a romantisized mid-bass. Non suspended 'tables - in general - may not go as low but usually enjoy a tighter attack on the bass notes. The sense is one of punchier bass though not a deep. I like the blue point special but really favor the Benz line. Another cart that has grabbed my attention lately has been the Clearaudio Aurum Beta S. Any of those carts will work great with the Ittok.
Just give your local Linn set-up guy some time to do the upgrades and really dial in the suspension system and I'm certain you'll rediscover your 'table all over again.
That's my two cents.
