Most suitable tone arm for linn sondek LP12

I am using the Moth version of the Rega 1000 arm with a Pete Wriggle VTA adjustor. The Moth is $1200 vs $2000 for the Rega badged one. According to British reviews there is no difference between them. Paul Messenger has switched to the 1000 from a Naim Aro on his LP 12. I also have a 304 which I alternate with my AT 33EV. I have had an Ittok in the past and like the 1000 better. Also consider something like the Sole sub chassis and arm board or the Mose Hercules power supply if you haven't upgraded already. I have them on my LP 12 and they made a big difference.

I was a Technics dealer in the days when the SP 10 was new; I never had one as it was thought to be very expensive in those days. I had an SP 15 with EPA 500 arm as a demo. I like belt drive better than direct but YMMV. I have had some large and heavy tables in recent years: VPI TNT, Aries Extended, Basis Ovation among them. I am happy with the LP12 but there are there are other good tables out there; pick one that gives the sound you like; even the best tables have their own "sound".

No Syntax; there is no such thing as "knowledge" about which gear you prefer. Some like electrostatics, some horns, some cones: which are "wrong"? Some like tubes, some solid state; what "knowledge" should we use to determine who is "right"? Turntables do not all sound the same; of course some are not very good but among the good ones there is considerable variation in sound. Actually you are correct in one respect , the "best" sound FOR YOU is the sound you like the best. I get a laugh out of the constant "what is the best ---- on the market" questions on here. The secret in audio is TO KNOW YOUR OWN TASTE ; we all want accurate sound reproduction but we also all have different ears. When I am acting as a dealer I always thought my job was to help a client discover the kind of sound he wanted; not simply tell them what they ought to like. Just because I like one component better than another does not mean that everyone does or should; right now I have 2 of the "best" phono stages on the market; they do not sound alike though both are very good and I could live with either. Which is the "better" one; I will bet that the vote would be about 50-50.
