Um, OK. I'm not sure why the Akito should cause such a problem with the Shure, as the effective mass is not that bad - 10 gms is still within the recommended range with the Shure. That said, a couple of low mass arms that are good, and relatively inexpensive, are the ADC LMF-1 and the Grace G-707 Mk II. Both have effective masses around 5-6 gms. The Grace in fact used to be the recommended combination with the Linn LP-12 before Linn started making the Ittok, and both arms are relatively light, so should not interfere with the working of the Linn suspension. The low mass arms will shift the resonance frequency up by maybe 1-2 Hz, which might be enough to make a difference.
