completely agree calloway. 
Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best?
on paper, you can make a case that there are many, many better turntables old and new. 'no table' however (flawed or not)has made a worldwide emotional connection to more vinyl junkies than the linn. even today,its 'an enigma with an attitude' tha... 
Will the RB-300 fit the Linn Axis?
the jelco is a worthy replacement for sure....and its incredibly easy to install a cartridge on. 
Will the RB-300 fit the Linn Axis?
steveaustin is correct...the pt6 and 9 will work fine.

Best horn speaker under $1000 for Jadis

JBL 250 TI or JBL 4425 please vote
a coin flip(and 2 different beasts), but if they are pristine, I would pick up the 4425's. Classic JBL monitor type, with the viseral thud that is more often than not, lacking in a small monitor. the 250 may be the more balanced, and have the deep... 
Best horn speaker under $1000 for Jadis
the jadis is a great amp(a classic in fact)...but just switching to a horn loaded design isn't(in of itself) going to make 'magic', which the dali will with a well matched power amp.....working from the speakers backwards(whatever the speakers may... 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
