FWIW the Akurate LP12 combo sold by Linn has an Akito with a Krystal.
In modern term this might be just about ok but the OP was considering putting a Kandid on an Akito 1 not even the British built one.

The Akurate LP12 combo that used to be sold by Linn featured a Krystal and an Akito 3. An Akito 3 compared to the OP's Akito 1 is similar to a 2022 Chevrolet Corvette to a 1973 Chevette. In other words, completely different. A good Akito 1 is a little better than a Basik Plus, but half of the former have bad bearings. The Akito 3 is in the same league with an Ittok LVII.

On top of that I never sold an Akurate LP12. The money was better spent on getting a Majik LP12 and putting in a Radikal. I have actually sold two of that configuration within the last month.

Evening all,

Kandid fitted to my upgraded akito, new bearings amongst other things.

Sounds amazing,

Looking forward to more listening over the next couple of months before new tonearm.

Again thanks for all the positive comments.

Scott…
