Most suitable tone arm for linn sondek LP12

Ittock LVII is the best bang for the buck. I had the Ekos II and even though a little better, not nearly enough better to justify the cost, unless you've got the money to burn. You may also be just as well off with what you have now. I'm selling a few of my last parts on 2 LP 12's that I owned and have replaced them with a Rega RP3 table w/ an RB 303 arm and Linn Adikt MM cart. It sounds as good to me, with less complications than the Sondek's and much cheaper to upgrade. Best of luck.

I am using the Moth version of the Rega 1000 arm with a Pete Wriggle VTA adjustor. The Moth is $1200 vs $2000 for the Rega badged one. According to British reviews there is no difference between them. Paul Messenger has switched to the 1000 from a Naim Aro on his LP 12. I also have a 304 which I alternate with my AT 33EV. I have had an Ittok in the past and like the 1000 better. Also consider something like the Sole sub chassis and arm board or the Mose Hercules power supply if you haven't upgraded already. I have them on my LP 12 and they made a big difference.

I agree with Stanwal. Besides his advice is always wise.
I am only wondering why he keeps the LP-12?
What about SP 10 mk II Stanwal?

If you have no complaints about the sound, I would keep what you have. The OL arms are very decent. I don't know what you're using for a phono stage, but if you're using a cheap one, a used Linto might be a good upgrade. They are a great deal on the used market - about $800 or so, and deliver very high performance for that amount of money.

I have an EAR 834P phono stage with Denon AU S1 transformer as step up.
