On my 401 I have swapped my SME 3012 for an original Linn Akito that I had on my LP12, and surprise, surprise it sounds very good. The cartridge is a VMS 30 which is doing a much better job than my Bluepoint Mk II did on the arm. The main benefit is a large reduction in microphonics and a big gain in musical focus, in other words it's clearer and I hear what's going on a lot better. The only other reference to a Linn arm on a Garrard I can recall is Harmut, poster here mentioned thet the Ittok works well on a Garrard.
I am very pleased with the result so far.
