Hi everyone.
I've got Systemdek IIX (no mods), currently with a Linn Basik LVX (not plus) arm and AT-VM95E cartridge, running through an Arcam A65+ and Mission 752 speakers.
The LVX is getting a little tired and whilst it tracks ok, I fancy upgrading it, as I'd like the option to run an MC cart in the future and have heard that the bearings on the LVX aren't really up to the job.
I was thinking either of the Origin Live Alliance or Onyx arms. I had thought about the RB220 or 330 as they have been around for ages, but was wondering if anyone had any experience with the OL arms? I realise I'll need a new armboard, as the geometry is different, but these seem to be readily available.
Any views?
