![]() Lively, lean and 'fresh' in balance, it's a good all-rounder for budget to mid price mm type cartridges and possibly some of the more tolerant mc types too. This arm in fine fettle should be about as good as the straight-tubed Jelco and with a similar sound I think. Same goes for the Basik Plus (not LVX Plus as some have called it). If the counterweight spins freely on the end stub, you've had it. The squidgy counterweight decoupling will have gone off by now and I don't think it's fixable (I'd love to be shown wrong here though). I found that using loc-tite studlock in the gap around the socket and tube (the green stuff used to lock tape head screws) sorts it out once the screws are re-tightened carefully. LVX - A potentially good medium mass tonearm this one, but the headshell socket is a definite weak point as the clamping bolt was always overtightened by Linnie dealers trained to do such things and the socket works loose with disastrous sonic results. By now, many LVV's will be shagged and possibly too frail for AO Johnnie to properly service - may be worth asking him.
