Linn or VPI


Hi, My dilema is which new setup to purchase. The Linn with Lingo-Ekos+Linn cartridge or the VPI TNT with a Benz. Dealers have a preference to the product they sell. Both get great reviews but they seem to approach things differently.
Any input is much welcomed. I have Martin Logan's and Levinson amps and preamp.
Thanks,Elkyman

Here I am. I have owned a Linn and liked it very much. However, I am a factory trained Linn set-up guy, so I didn't have to worry so much about set-up and periodic adjustements. Even though the EKOS is an old design, it is still very competitive with the top arms.

That being said, I think I would go for the TNT, as the Linn is getting a little long in the tooth, and can be bettered in the higher price range tables.

I would also recommend a look at the Teres Audio website. They have tables that will compete with anything, at very reasonable prices. I use the Teres 245, and would put it in a shootout with a TNT any day of the week.
