That’s what I use and it’s a superb match up. The ‘Black’ arm has all of the imaging qualities of the Naim Aro with none of the downsides, IME.

Now at $5K + it is NOT! I am now on my second one, bought used from a seller in England for less than $1K used! Came with a Grace 707 arm. It is an earlier version without all the (stupid) tweaks - and sounds excellent!

The plain basic LP12 has always sounded excellent! This I know from my 40 years experience with this TT!
