Hi Felix,

Good gear. I would love to have a LP12. But I would have replaced the  
cartridge by now. My hearing is still excellent. I still have a Supex  
900 Super mounted in a 2nd table that I pull out from time to time. I  
bought it in the early 70's when it was the top moving coil cartridge  
of it's day. The stylus is still perfect. But I find it can't compete  
with todays top performers. The sound is more coarse and lacks some  
of the inner detail.  But if you enjoy what you have that's all that  
matters.

Best Regards,
Len
