Description
The Krystal moving coil cartridge from Linn. Cutting-edge engineering plus exotic components equals an exceptionally-musical vinyl performance.
Krystal benefits from the same design principles inherent to Linn’s premium moving coil Kandid cartridge, allowing it to accurately track the minute modulations of a record groove.
Applying a similar approach to minimising mass as they took with Kandid, Krystal features a ‘nude’ design. The resultant decrease in inertia of the cartridge allows Krystal to react quickly to the topography of a vinyl record. It uses the triple-point mounting system for a solid connection to the tonearm headshell, while its aluminium chassis provides a lightweight, stiff and stable platform for the generator. Even the adhesive used on Krystal was painstakingly selected to provide the most rigid bond possible to avoid any dampening effects.
Krystal sits at the centre of the Linn cartridge range, beneath Kendo. Its highly musical presentation and increased agility offers marked sonic improvements over Adikt or Koil; providing the next step of the Sondek LP12 owner’s journey towards vinyl playback perfection.
