No experience of the LP12/Ittok Dave, but I don't see why it wouldn't work - whether it will be a good synergistic match is another matter, of course... I doubt you'd have much problem selling it on again, depending on how much you pay for it of course!

Hi Dave,
Sorry I missed your post. I think the Nagaoka is a superb cartridge and should work very well on your Ittok.
Much will depend on the quality of your MM phono stage, but knowing the signatures of both the Nagaoka and the Ittok, the synergy should be good.
Therefore, I'd snap it up, as it's somewhat of a bargain
Marco.

My Hadcock arrived this morning. I eventually sorted out the wiring problem. This was not helped by the cartridge I put on it seemingly going open circuit on one side since I last used it.
I don't think I've got the arm rest set quite right. I've got it all level and balanced up now with my VST V. The 3009 will be on ebay sometime soon.

They went at a very modest priceConsidering they aren't too far off of the performance (bass wise) of some of the huge IMF monitors
If they were nearer me i'd have grabbed em
