but I have not listened to an ARO. You could get into either the Roksan forum or the Naim forum to check it out. I don't know of compatability issues with the LP12, but since both arms are used on XErxes and XErxes x I'm inclined to believe both could work on the linn. Some homework is maybe involved.

A lot of arm works on the Sondek... - kuma 17:43:26 08/26/10 (2)
but I haven't heard a unipivot that is capable as the ARO on the Linn.

I assume that Artemiz is optimised for the Xerxes/TMS etc which are very different sounding from the Sondek.

That said, i'm sure it'll fit with an appropriate arm board.

Anyways, I already have 2.5 AROs so I'm all set. I was just cautioning Fishfood.
- I'm wondering what your opinion is on XerxesX VS LP12? - violinist3 00:01:16 08/27/10 (1)
  Which do you prefer and why?
  
  As for myself, I was slightly disapointed with the Scout. Not that it wasnt a fun table---it does some things good but -I wanted a more refined sound. Anyway after listening to Fretless, Bruckner9, and Ken lyon, I thought I would take a chance on the Xexesx.I'm not disapointed.It definatly separates the instruments and shows them all in an individual light.Expensive thing but it definatly excells.
  - both are excellent tables... - kuma 09:37:43 08/27/10 (0)
    I lusted after the TMS for a while, but the lack of US support for the Roksan tables scared me a bit to pursue further.
    
    A Sondek is common and a set up assistance and parts are easier to be found than the Roksan tables.
    
    Nothing worse than buying something expensive blind and find out later that it does not work in your rig OR screwing around trying to tune the deck blind.
    
    Sondek is easy because I am familiar with it and know when it's not performing to the optimum.
    
    If I had the same level of knowledge and comfort, I'm certain that I'll be happy with a Roksan, too.
