Tonearm upgrades
Just idly wondering where I would go next with tonearm on my Focus One, if anywhere.
Currently a Linn Basik Plus with K9. So the plinth is drilled out for Linn.
At the moment it goes via a Pro-ject Phono Box MM into my Sonos AMP (the new one).
I’d like to run it through my Arcam AVR380 and Rega ELAs, but have to find a suitable space.
So it begs the question of whether the deck would improve noticeably with a somewhat better arm and if so, given the Linn mount limitation, which ones. Probably wouldn’t get away with much over £300-400.
Higher end Linns cost too much. Wondered about Missions or lower end Michells.
The obvious Rega/SME mount choices would need new holes and I’m not sure if that’s possible with a Linn hole already there.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Nick
