- I would suggest finding a Linn dealer. Many LP12 owner may have upgraded
- their arms to the Ecos which is an upgrade of the Ittok which is an upgrade
- on the Basik. Thus the dealer may be able to sell a used Ittok or point
- you towards a customer who has one. The LP12/Ittok/K9 is a good
- combination which I used happily for several years before getting a much
- fancier cartridge. It also would put you in the position to either get the
- most out of your K9 (which is nice) or upgrade cartridges later.
