Nottingham Interspace TT/Arm vs Used Linn Lp12


I am trying to get into LP after 15 years of Cd, mostly for classical music.
Any advice on new Nottingham Interspace TT/arm combo vs, used Linn LP-12 /Valhalla/Ittok II combo. Also what cartridge in $500-700 should I consider for respective combo ?

Like Soliver, I have both a Hadcock (original GH228 Export circa 1980) and a Schroeder Model 2 on my Platine Verdier. Sure the Schroeder is better, but it sure costs a damn site more (1000 GBP or 1750 USD) versus my Hadcock (circa 1980 60GBP or 100USD).

The newer Hadcocks are better built and have infinitely superior wiring. Nevertheless, even now they represent excellent value for money. It works well with my Allaerts MC1B, but is one of the few arms to work with my decca London Gold (Garrott Bros).
