The Linn Ittok LVIII arm is more suited to the LP12 than the Dynavector.

Do all the modifications to the turntable first, though. Check the main
bearing - the inner platter and bearing assembly can be replaced for about
$A300. Also, the plinth can be changed to the new variety (with the corner
struts) for about $A100.

The Valhalla is a must and Nirvana kit also. Changed the belt too.
