The single biggest improvement I experienced with my LP 12 was the Lingo, which surprised me. A much bigger deal than when I added an Ekos arm. And last summer I had my table tuned up by a longtime Linn guy in Westchester. That breathed life on the table too. I am happy with what I have now- Lingo, Ekos, Arkiv B, Trampolin, and I have zero desire to add a keel or radikal. I'll change cartridges when thevArkiv B is dead.
LP12 upgrades
Are there any upgrades worth considering for a table S/N 59xxx, that don't cost a fortune??? Crikus;750, Lingo 2 ; $2000 plus, nicer cartridge at least $1000. Are the 30 year old Nirvana springs worth replacing too. It seems as though by the time I get done here....I will have more than enough to finance all but the absolute best efforts offered by REGA, Music Hall, and Project. Any thoughts or possible upgrade paths that would be more affordable, The only ones I know is Trampolin, or rebuilding existing Vahalla power supply? Still about $600. Would it make more sense to trade my deck in against a Magik deck.
