I remembered he mounted an Audio Technica AT95E cartridge(I think this possibly is every vinyl virgin's first cartridge!), but later got himself a Goldring cartridge of some sort. One of my wealthy school mates bought a Linn LP12 with a Basik Plus arm. My first brush with the Linn LP12 was back in year 1989, in my student dorm, where most of us had our own stereo set. Newer versions don't have this, just smoothly contour finished. Some of those examples are McIntosh C22 pre amp & 275 power amp, Dynaco 70 amp, Marantz 7 pre & 9 power amp, Quad II power amps & ESL57 speakers, BBC classic designed LS3/5A & 5/9A and lastly the Linn LP12, other wise affectionately known as Linn Sondek. I personally see it this way, when all the hype dies down, only the true musically enduring products hang around for a long time. Only the most musically enduring stuff tends to hang around, in the company of the "latest and greatest". Well, I like my equipment to be time tested and proven. It would seem that my choice of hifi equipment is rather conservative, as I tend to go for time tested and rather storied models of the past. and as indicated on the QC Passed sticker inside. This turn table was manufactured in 1984, more than 25 years ago! I checked the serial no. It's a classic, Linn LP12 with Vahalla power supply.
