Description
Linn Kendo moving coil cartridge
Kendo brings the design principles and sound of Linn’s flagship Ekstatik to a more affordable cartridge. Its rigid, nickel-coated 7075 aluminium body is made to work with the Arko tonearm, carrying unwanted resonance away through the arm and sub-chassis.
A low-mass, stiff boron cantilever carries a super-fine-line diamond stylus, and three mounting points with aluminium-bronze inserts keep it secure and accurately aligned.
