Linn LP12. What tonearm and cartridge?


I have a Linn LP12 w/Akito and Rega cartridge. I want to upgrade my analog front to something better. How is SME V with the table? If it's ok, what would be great cartridge to go with it? Thank you.

Well, alot will depend on what you listen to. I love the Ittok on my Linn, no longer availble so check out the Ekos which replaced it. Naim arms go well, and I agree the Graham would also be good. Do you have the upgrades such as Vahalla or Lingo, either will help bass extension. You may even want to think Rega on arms, maybe a 600 or a 900 both very good. On cartridges, that greatly will depend on what you listen to. I love Kotesu MC on my Linn, it resolves a ton of detail. Laugh if you will, but a Shure V15VmX makes agreat choice for rock or records that are warped. Grado low output series also are good rockers.
