The Ittok is a damn good arm, IMO. If it's bottom you're looking for, I would consider experimenting with the shelves. I have never seen a turntable more affected by what it sits on. Mine was mounted on a wall shelf and we started with a plywood shelf I think. We then changed to a Neuance shelf and the setup guy looked at me, as if to say - "Are you kidding?" The whole bottom end opened up tremendously. So fool around with that if you're so inclined.
Avid Diva II SP or keep my Linn
Currently I own a 1986 Linn LP12 w/a Cirkus upgrade, Ittok tonearm, Lingo 3. The cart is a Dynavector 20xl2. However I have a chance to get a Avid Diva II SP w/a Clearaudio Clarify arm for $3300. I've always been impressed w/Avid. Would this be much of an upgrade? Any thoughts on the Clearaudio tone arm. If I sell my Linn I will transfer the Dynavector cart to the Avid.
