Hey, what do you all use for cartridges in your Linn Turntables?

Thanks

Hi,

Linn Basik - 1985
Linn Trak - 1985
Linn Asak - 1986
Linn K9 - 1986
Linn Karma -1987 until now

The Karma was rettipped by Linn in 2001 and still performing flawlessly!!!

LP12 with Ittok LVIII arm: Grado Reference Sonata
LP12 with Basik LVX arm: Grado Prestige Red

Sondek/Valhalla/LVII, I've tried dozens, have Red and Gold Grados, Stanton 881, Pickering XV15, Shure M3D, AT AT3200E, several ADC XLM series, Denon DL-103S, Ortofon X-3MC, and an Asaka, had a Blue Point Special and a Glider, MC-10 Super and a SAEC HOMC....but the best I have heard on mine has been with a Benz H20....installing the H20 after playing with all the other cartridges really lets youknow why it costs so much...it's one of those zen-like"ahhh yesss, that's the ticket" moments where truth and understanding meet...

Rick, second best to an H20 at a lower cost ?

Benz will soon be shipping (spring 2008) a new stylus profile in it's Swiss made cartridges, i.e., the Ace or above...the Ace with the Geiger S stylus ought to be a fine cartridge....

Sorry it took me so long to reply, just forgot to check this thread!
