If you are still thinking about a replacement arm, can I make a rather controversial suggestion How about rebuilding the Lenco arm. I couldnt quite get rid of the Linn connection though.

The LP12 is probably the world’s most popular deck and as such is capable of producing outstanding results given a little extra care and attention. He came back later with the Fons CQ30, comparable to the LP12, but while he was a good engineeer, he did drink, and wasnt nearly the entrepreneur Ivor was. The Ittok at the time, especially the then new LVIII, followed by the Ekos in working mk1 form, had better sonic 'architecture' on the LP12 of the period and although our resident Naimie (blindly) loved it - could have been a pile of poo with their logo on the rest of us weren't sure. Dimensions are believed correct at the time of publication but no liability is accepted for inaccuracies herein. There are a number of ways to dramatically improve the performance of virtually any deck whether you have a Linn Sondek LP12, vpi, thorens or rega. AR invented the suspended, belt-drive turntable, Ariston adapted and improved it-and, yes, Linn basically made a cheaper copy of the Ariston and drove that manufacturer out of business. Null points are calculated from the stated dimensions and should not be used for alignment. I didn't ever own either Ittok LV III variants, but demonstrated them both throughout their production run and took both home. Other sources include magazine reviews, direct measurement and the internet. The Ittok LV III was only available between Jan 1989 and sometime in 1991, when it was superseded by the LV III/2 which itself was discontinued in September 1993. But it sounds fantastic and is definitely a bargain. Any questions just ask can be heard £650. This is a relatively simple tonearm without any complicated mechanisms, exotic materials, or flashy advertising. Linn DS-I Amplifier and Streamer, built in phono stage great condition, amazing sound just add speakers, and log into your preferred music streaming service via the Linn app for an amazing sounding hifi system. Originally manufactured for Linn by the Denon Parts Company of Japan (no relation to the electronics brand), it was designed by a Mr Ito to Linn’s specification back in the late seventies. The new Jelco TK-850S MKII is a static balance knife-edge bearing tonearm with upgraded high purity silver-plated copper internal wiring. Specifications taken from original manufacturers data where available. By many people’s reckoning the Linn Ittok was the world’s first super-arm. The gap in price between the Ittok and Ekos models had also closed up, leading Linn to consolidate its line-up by keeping just two models the Ekos and budget Akito in its portfolio from 1993 until the present day. Mounting pattern for arm base (mm dia or type)Ĭalculated from eff length / overhang / offset (mm) In its latter years it approached the performance of Linn’s top Ekos arm, an all-black affair launched in 1988. The Ekos Se doesn’t need to include Azimuth adjustment, because only faulty cartridges from the factory don. You will be stoked with the Kuzma BruceD. Vertical tracking angle adjustment (yes/no) Even getting those Arms to balance on the Oracle ( with accomodating Springs selections-unlike the Linn)in those days was a chore.
