Telecine Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Very good value for money, these days the arm alone is worth most of the asking price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people here who will know the answers better than me as I haven't had much to do with Linns for over 20 years but to start - Sondek LP12 turntable Kore sub-chassis and machined armboard Lingo power supply and motor control unit AC motor Akito tonearm Krystal moving coil (MC) cartridge It is a new version with updated/upgraded sub-chassis and what should be a better arm board It has a better power supply - the Valhalla goes back to the early '80s from memory and was the next upgrade after the Nirvana suspension update. Can't say I know what they have done with motors in recent times but back in my day they were AC too. The arm and cartridge are going to add a big chunk to the price. The Ittok was the top of the range and the Basik and Basik LVX were below it when I was a Linn dealer. I quite liked the Basik LVX. Good value for money and a respectable performer. I had one on an Ariston RD40. This is a good buy at the price asked even if someone bought it and decided to change the arm. I leave it to others to suggest good cartridge options for the SME. A bit of cosmetic work and tune the suspension ( it looks to me like it is set a bit high) and it will look and sound great. Just got to choose the right cartridge to suit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
