upgrade advice from a Linn LP12


I have an original LP12 with Ittok IV arm and Benz Micro SMS Glider cartridge, in great shape. If I was to go out on the used market and buy a new table, how much would I need to spend in order to get improvement? What is my starting point in cost? I am trying to decide if I want to go down that path.Thanks.

I made the move from my LP-12 Ekos, cirkus to Avid Volvere / SME a number of years ago and never looked back (since then added Sequel upgrade). I feel the Avid has all the postive LP-12 qualities plus much better frequency extension, clarity and pitch stability. Addtionally set-up is a breeze and no longer need to depend on somone else especially with the SME. 4-5 K range used depending on arm
