What is the best arm for a Linn Soundeck 12

I am replacing the Akito arm for my Linn Soundeck12. What arms that fit should I consider? Do I have to replace the arm board?

As mentioned in that thread I would look for a Trade-in EKOS or Akito since the EKOS SE is out and the dealer may have some. Another is the Naim Aro. What is your budget? I wanted to add a Phantom to mine but the dealer says it is not a good fit due to the weight of the arm. The Sondek suspension will kind of limit your arm compatibility. I have the Ekos on mine and it is fine. I just wanted the Phantom for other reasons. If your budget is limited look in the Rega, Grahma Robin (if you can find one) for examples.

If you want to be safe I would stay with Linn. Keep in mind any arm you re-mount on there other than a Akito will most likely require you have the suspension adjusted.
