Why not try the Adikt? MM 6.5mV I have a Sondek 12 Ittcok LV II that I rebuilt(without a jig) Had a nice Nagaoka MP 11 Linn K-9, K-18, 2 Dynavector 10/5 MC (which I think sound good but are garbage) then I mounted the Adkit and it seems to work just fine in my tube system. Best of luck.
Decent cartridge for Linn LP12 with Ittok LVII
My system has recently come out of storage after 6 years and I think I need to start with a replacement for my Linn K18 mm cartridge that is at least 12-15 years old. The table is a 1985 valhalla LP12 with Ittok LVII. Neither circus nor trampolin nor lingo upgrades, though I am thinking of a used lingo. Speakers are newer--Vienna Acoustic Mozart Grands; electronics are 20 year old Adcom 545 amp (100 watts/side) and 565 preamp (internal MM phono). Starting at the source, does anyone have any particular recommendations for a MM or MC or MI (Soundsmith?) cartridges that interact well with that table and arm? In terms of cost I suppose $500 to $1,000 though I would prefer to do it once and not be dissatisfied once I upgrade electronics, too (thinking tube integrated but perhaps separate tube preamp and either tube or SS amp). I mostly listen to rock and jazz (or at least I used too). Thanks for whatever guidance you can provide.
