Most suitable tone arm for linn sondek LP12

Ittock LVII is the best bang for the buck. I had the Ekos II and even though a little better, not nearly enough better to justify the cost, unless you've got the money to burn. You may also be just as well off with what you have now. I'm selling a few of my last parts on 2 LP 12's that I owned and have replaced them with a Rega RP3 table w/ an RB 303 arm and Linn Adikt MM cart. It sounds as good to me, with less complications than the Sondek's and much cheaper to upgrade. Best of luck.

I had 2 Sondek 12's and I liked them, but they sounded about the same as my Rega RP3 and are much more hassle. Every 2 years you need to put new springs in and it's hard todo without a jig, although it can be done. It is not a set it and forget it item, and costs lots of money to upgrade. upgrading the bearing, and getting a keel are two things that don't make a bit of difference in sound. It makes me wonder about other things too. I really like some Linn products, but their marketing outperforms their products. Been there done that. It was fun, but overly costly.
