Soundsmith - if I wasn't committed to an all Linn record player and electronics then I'd go for one of their Strain Gauge cartridges. I know they are expensive, but you can buy one with 10 replacement styli so there is little or no ongoing cost. Many years ago, I owned a Strain Gauge cartridge from Micro Acoustics and used it in Garrard TT and I have very fond memories of it.
A few years a go a neighbour had a Soundsmith SG in a Musical Fidelity record player - he's moved now - if anyone had asked me to recommend an amplifier and speakers, I'd have said avoid valves and horns. He had a Conrad Johnson amplifier driving some Tannoy Westminster horns - sound was wonderful. Shows how much I know.
I'm sure your Soundsmith rebuilt Arkiv B sounds superb. Soundsmith come across as a top notch company.
