Linn LP-12/ EKOS tonearm synergy with EMT
Hello Don,
I think that the Ekos 2 will be compatible with many carts but yes, you have to check to be sure.
My question though : what is wrong with your WT to give you the desire to change ?
Looking at your system, I would be more tempted to move to a restored vintage tt like the Garrard 301 / 401, or a Thorens td124 than a lp12.
Or a very clean and neutral sounding TT like the Verdier or a Kuzma.
Although I agree that the LP12 is a great tt. It may be a bit too "colored" to use with a Shindo set up.
The LP12 is a great choice to use with a SS based system. Because it will add bloom and some euphony.
But with a Shindo based system, I am not sure of the synergy. You may just get too much richness and the sound could appear fatty in some ways.
The only LP12 which sounds very clean and neutral is the SE fully loaded with the KEEL and so on but the price tag is huge.
