Just curious as to why you believe in the requirement for Azimuth adjustment.and I suspect it is for a very good reason. other MC’s in this regard.isn’t the build accuracy sufficient to not have to concern oneself with Azimuth adjustments? Now on the face of it this seems like a crazy point of view, however, on some reflection I actually wonder if that is a very valid point! Therefore, why are you so concerned about your Colibri cartridge vs.

The Ekos Se doesn’t need to include Azimuth adjustment, because only faulty cartridges from the factory don’t have their stylus aligned in a correct perpendicular manner! As such, adding another connection or adjustment would interfere with the arms rigidity. Why do we like the old fruit box so much.īooker, on the other forum when I posted a thread about the importance of Azimuth adjustment and asked why the ‘best’ Linn arm doesn’t include this.I was told the following.( with considerable insistancy and some amount of frustration with my OP, lol): Right now, if I remember, you can acquire a Keel with SME cutout, Naim Aro cut out ( works with the Javelin) and lastly.Linn cut out, lol. The AMG might be a contender.haven’t heard it.and some are saying it’s pretty meh. The Vertere arm might be a contender, but same thing, haven’t heard it. The new Tiger Paw Javelin might be a contender, although I haven’t heard it. The Graham is too, although closer, but I think the geometry is what the lil darling dislikes. Unfortuntately, as you well know, the dear old fruit box doesn’t like most of the great arms out there.she’s a real persnickety little bugger. Your Johnnie arm would be on my short list. While my experience with the arm isn’t as great as some other Linnie’s.I do wonder if there is a better alternative. However, like you, I question the lack of adjustability, the poor tonearm wiring and other issues with the Ekos Se. To which I was basically castigated,as in the minds of the followers.there simply is nothing better than an Ekos Se.and to think so is blasphemy.

Booker, as a fellow Linnie, I have asked the exact same question that you posted in your OP.
