What would you chose? VPI MKIII vs. Linn LP-12

Hi All,

Looking for some advice here. Which front end would you chose...VPI MKIII/Sumiko MMT/Grado Sonata or Linn LP12/Linn Ittok/Linn Karma? Either of these turntable combinations would be running through a MFA Magus. Thanks for you help.

Dear Jemm: I think that you can up-grade your VPI TT through VPI options and certainly you could change the Sumiko tonearm for a different one too.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Dear Jemm: If you go for the VPI up-grade then you could consider a VPI tonearm.

here are some good options for a different tonearm:

and for a new cartridge this one is very good:
