My Wilson Benesch Act 2 tonearm with new VanDamme tonearm cable for £850 ono

I have owned this since new, it is in very good condition with original case.

Mounting is standard Linn setup, instructions and template available here:
http://wilson-benesch.com/downloads/...gue_Manual.pdf

Very fine tonearm, neutral, fast and very even mannered, with a Kinematic bearing which works much like a unipivot. OVer £1,500 new.

Happy to provide setup near Manchester if desired.

I haven't tried that combination but I know somebody who has and he mentioned that they worked well together.

Their first deck was a three point suspended, so no doubting it has synergy with the lp12
