A dilemma for many LP12 owners has been their loyalty to the brand when it comes to a £1000 pickup cartridge. We have been selling Linn’s Klyde moving coil since 1992 and it is very pleasing and musical.
However, some LP12 owners have wanted a more detailed and incisive performance and have gone over to other brands like Lyra and Dynavector. We have been happy to offer an alternative and we have been selling the excellent Dynavector XX2. However, when it comes to playing the tune, Linn cartridges still show the way and beat others on an LP12. But good as they are, they never have quite the correct and considered balance of a Linn cartridge. Now you can have your cake and eat it.
We are very proud and excited to be one of the first Linn dealerships to have the new Linn Krystal cartridge on demonstration.
The Krystal has been designed by senior mechanical engineer and analogue wizzkid, David Williamson, to replace the 23 year old Klyde, and this new cartridge employs many of the mechanical advantages learned during the development of their £3000 Linn Kandid.
As you can see it employs carefully machined 3 point mount as originally used in the Troika but with a much more lightweight and modern superior rigid skeletal generator.
It’s the stunning £1200 cartridge many have waited for. Musical, tuneful and balanced with musical insight beyond other products in this sector.
It is on demonstration now and there is also a very attractive Linn LP12 promotion running alongside the launch during the next few weeks.
Please contact Colin for more information.
