The Klyde is not bad at all...just needs expert set-up. However, I have the same anaolog gear you have and IMHO the Linto does not have enough gain for the 150uV Klyde. If you want to go the Linn route, keep in mind the Linto was designed to mate w/ the Arkiv, not the Klyde. Whtever you choose, make sure the output is more or less in line with the Arkiv's in order to have the "right" amount of output from the Linto.
Lyra Lydian or Benz L2 for a Linn Table
I have a Lingoed Linn LP12 with a Ekos tonearm and a Linto phono amp. which is fed into an Audio Research CA-50 integrated amp. I'm looking to replace my cartridge and I've only got around $1200 to spend. Linn of course suggests their Klyde cartridge, but I haven't heard that many good things about it (see Listener mag. Vol. 3 No. 1.)
Any suggestions?
