Right now, if I remember, you can acquire a Keel with SME cutout, Naim Aro cut out ( works with the Javelin) and lastly.Linn cut out, lol. The AMG might be a contender.haven’t heard it.and some are saying it’s pretty meh. The Vertere arm might be a contender, but same thing, haven’t heard it. The new Tiger Paw Javelin might be a contender, although I haven’t heard it. The Graham is too, although closer, but I think the geometry is what the lil darling dislikes. Unfortuntately, as you well know, the dear old fruit box doesn’t like most of the great arms out there.she’s a real persnickety little bugger. Your Johnnie arm would be on my short list. While my experience with the arm isn’t as great as some other Linnie’s.I do wonder if there is a better alternative. However, like you, I question the lack of adjustability, the poor tonearm wiring and other issues with the Ekos Se. To which I was basically castigated,as in the minds of the followers.there simply is nothing better than an Ekos Se.and to think so is blasphemy. It sits on a custom wall shelve, similar in design to a Sound Organization or Target unit.Booker, as a fellow Linnie, I have asked the exact same question that you posted in your OP. I have updated the motor to the most recent, and also have a Silver T-Kable. My table is a standard Afro plinth, Cirkus, Lingo, Kore, Ekos, DV 20X2L, Linto. If not, I'll wait until I can afford one. If it hits all the marks, I would surely be interested in pursuing this as an option to the Radikal. Additionally, does it complement the tuneful nature of the LP12, or does it start to focus your attention on artifacts within the recording? That's a tough one, I realize. Ill fitting parts, wiring, etc, can be a barrier to proper setup, as I'm sure you realize. I've been an LP12 tech for some 25 odd years, and appreciate how setup is paramount to it's performance. Other things I would be interested in knowing have to do with how well the various bits fit into the deck. I hope that your (hopefully) upcoming review can shine light on this. The only test is to compare it to an equivalent Radikal equipped LP12, which, in the US, might be difficult, if not impossible. I realize that there may be exceptions, and the Hercules is a decent example of one, at least when viewed relative to the Valhalla. That being said, I always have reservations about non-Linn changes to the table.
The Radikal is, quite simply, a financial reach that I might not be able to make for some time.

I'm an active and committed LP12 owner, and since my next logical upgrade is Radikal, this interests me greatly.
