Do Rega arms work well with LP12s?

That's my question. I just bought an LP12 without arm; the Ekos I've been told can be finicky, also quite pricey. The Ittok has been recommended, but I'm wondering about the ubiquitous RB-300 and or 250, or variants. Or the new RB-808. Anyone out there have any experience with this? Thank you.

I've owned probably 20 different Linn LP12s through the years and several of them had Rega arms. IMHO, they worked quite well.

If it were me, I would look for a used Ittok.

I've had a few variants of the Rega arm and 2 Linn Ittoks. I would take the Ittok every day over the Regas. The Ittok is far far easier to set up than the Rega. That said, the Rega is a great arm and I can't see why it won't work on an LP12. I just wouldn't do it.

I had a Linn with a Rega 600 and the Ekos was far better, IMO. The Rega arm pillar is deeper than the Ekos and you may have to cut out part of the plinth support to clear it. Personally, I would bite the bullet and try to find an Ittok or Ekos.
