I have a 1982 '12 and my dealer has kept it current a step at a time without pain. For the k-9, the Black Cube is a good budget choice. You can up-grade the power source too. But if you contemplate the higher arm and mc's, you are better off with their in-board phono amp at $1,600.
considering re-entry to vinyl Linn 12
I am considering re-entry into the vinyl range
did a little research here and seems Linn would be money well spent. I have lots of old vinyl and even many japanese pressings from the early 80's played once, taped to my nakamichi
have an option on a Linn Sondek LP12 Ittock LVII with a K9 cartridge
would also need a phono stage _ have Audio Research LS-5 line stage (balanced inputs)
any suggestions on the Linn, a compatible phono stage and maybe a wall isolation platform (won't fit in my current rack)
any other suggestions would help
I have an old B&O 1700 - my 80's table
thanks
