I'm in the US where the LP12 dealers don't have multiple tables set up for comparison.
My early 80s LP12: Lingo 1, 12 month old Cirkus bearing and subchassis, Ittok LVII, Ortofon 2M Black. Do you recommend (a) replacing the Cirkus with a Karousel and save for an Akurate Radikal 2 years from now; (b) get a Karousel and Lingo 4 now and forget about the Radikal; (c) doing nothing now in order to move up the Radikal purchase by a year and keep the Cirkus for the foreseeable future or; (d) something else?
I mostly listen to acoustic jazz (1950s and 60s) with strong rhythmic foundation. Thanks for your advice.
