Linn does indeed recommend an inside out approach when it comes to upgrading the table. Therefore, the arm is fairly low on the totem pole. However, I personally found that replacing my Linn Basik Plus with the WTA ’Black’ arm was one of the easiest heard upgrades I ever did. The increase in SQ was more obvious than the sub chassis upgrade...although both did push the SQ forward. The arms available for the little fruit box are very limited, as discussed above...and many alternatives simply will not work well. ( like the SME’s, in my experience). The LP12 has its failings, the biggest one IMHO, is the inability of the table to allow not only multiple arms, but also more advanced ( and usually heavier) designs.
Linn Sondek LP-12 tonearm recommendations?
I just bought a Linn Sondek Lp-12, it had a Rega RB 300 tonearm, I would like to know from other LP-12 owners, what you have used or currently use on your table, that sound superb to your ears, or would I be better off sending this arm in for a cardas rewire?
FYI- I would like to stay in the 2-3K range
