Linn Sondek LP-12 tonearm recommendations?


I just bought a Linn Sondek Lp-12, it had a Rega RB 300 tonearm, I would like to know from other LP-12 owners, what you have used or currently use on your table, that sound superb to your ears, or would I be better off sending this arm in for a cardas rewire?
FYI- I would like to stay in the 2-3K range

@rbtstock I rewired the Rega arm, with VdH pure silver mono-crystal wire, straight thru from cartridge-output to preamp-input – a continuous length without a single break.
I wanted to hear majestic improvement, but the difference was barely discernible. And if you plan to spend 2–3K β€” well, mine cost under $200 including the wire.
A better arm is a better bet. And a better arm probably has better wire to start with, so it’s not even a issue.
