Assuming that you did not have the luxury of an A/B comparison, and you were buying second hand, so the Arkiv was $150 or so more than the Troika, which would you recommend for its 'musicality'? I have an LP12/Lingo/Ittok LVII.Incidentally, the reason...

I have a look at Terry's links and followed the Origin Live one.Has anyone had experience of thier LP12 motor / and other mods.The best tonearm in the world is a modified Rega apparently.As Snap would say, is a case of "don't believe the hype"?DS

Where is NAD HQ? Also, where is Classe HQ? For some reason, I thought NAD was German and now I've been lead to believe the U.K. Next I thought Classe was European (France actually, due to the missing accent on the 'e') but another person told me...

Anyone out there using a Helikon SL? I have a SL on demo now and it is by far the best cartridge I have heard in my system (LP-12/52/500/DBL). It has the tuneful bass control of my Troika, while offering loads more detail. Individual instruments are...
