When I moved over to Naim set up...

Linn LP12 made the most sense as they were sold as a set before Linn got into making amplifiers.
Especially when I got a hold of an old pair of Linn Isobarik speakers, LP12 was their natural partner as they were voiced together and sold together along with Naim amps back in the 70s & early 80s.

The combo today still works.

Altho, the Linn also works well with my SET tube amps. Topology doesn't matter so long as the amps sound the way you want them to be.

Unlike a CD player, a home audition is almost impossible for a turntable, so I am more than happy with this tried-and-true old formula.

Now if I were starting over with nothing, then I would pick a turntable that I like first and work my way out downstream. But I think that an enjoyable system for your own listening pleasure comes from a lot of listening to many systems/gear and understanding what aspect of music reproduction you value most.

I am afraid no short cut if you want to dive in deep in this hobby but a level of commitment varies by individual.

As far as my turntable is concerned, I am still learning how to tune it better.
