The 707 is still a good arm but is handicapped by its non standard arm cable. I would get something like the Jelco arm cable for it if I was going to use it. I still have one sitting around and would choose it over the cheaper Linn. The Ittok, which I use to have, is actually not that massive and should be usable with most cartridges currently available.
Linn Ittok or Grace 707?
Hello,
I am looking to upgrade from the Linn Basik LVX on an older model Sota Sapphire with suspended platter. Should I consider the Grace 707 (MKII) as a significant improvement or wait a while and get something like the Linn Ittok (LVII)? I'd likely get a new cartridge that matches whatever arm I chose.....but have a functional Monster Alpha on now.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
