I have a really nicely setup Thorens 160 Special (which was rehung a few years ago by a small Audio dealer in Cambridge - AB Audio) with a Linn Basik Plus arm and a MC cartridge. Yesterday I went mad and could not resist buying an immaculate Linn Bask turntable with a Linn Akito tone arm, which I have read is better than the Basik plus?
Should I keep the Thorens and sell the Linn or even swap the Akito arm on my Thorens and then sell the Linn or just sell the Thorens. The Linn system came with a K9 cartridge so I need to swap the cartridge if I keep the Linn anyway. I can't easily compare the two at the moment as my amplifier only has an imput for a MC cartridge..

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks

Carl

Do what you have to do to try them both. Give the new one some time to know how it is for you. Only then will you know which is best for YOU.
