Linn Krystal MC Cartridge

• Krystal benefits from the same design principles inherent to our 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 we 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 our 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.
