What would you chose? VPI MKIII vs. Linn LP-12


Hi All,

Looking for some advice here. Which front end would you chose...VPI MKIII/Sumiko MMT/Grado Sonata or Linn LP12/Linn Ittok/Linn Karma? Either of these turntable combinations would be running through a MFA Magus. Thanks for you help.

Macdadtexas, the VPI HW-19 frontend is in my current system. The Linn combination is available at a local dealer so the cartridge switch is not an option.
Yogiboy, thank you for your comment. I have not experienced the problem you mention with my current cartridge or with the older model Grado which I replaced. Interesting???
Raul, thanks for your comments. Any suggests for the tonearm? If I keep the MMT, any other suggestions concerning cartridge. In my area Dynavector, Clearaudio, Benz are available.

Macdadtexas, thanks for your encouragement. I just might buy the Linn.
Raul,

Thanks for you help with tonearm recommendations. The Audio Technica certainly looks interesting. Upgrading the VPI may be the best way for me to go.

Regards,
