Never ones to stand still, Linn have been beavering away in the background to improve the sound from their Iconic LP12 turntable. The latest improvement comes in the form of a new cartridge: the Kandid.
Linn Say: “This is the best sounding cartridge we’ve ever made… One of the key performance improvements comes as a result of removing the cartridge housing – probably also the most striking aesthetic difference we’ve made to Kandid. Stripping back the housing to expose the motor assembly has resulted in an even purer, cleaner sound than ever before.
More accurate audio reproduction is achieved thanks to the repositioning of the stylus and cantilever within the body of the cartridge. The angle of the magnets and coil in the front pole piece has been off-set so that they are parallel when the record is playing which ensures perfect alignment for accurate movement on the record”.
We’re really excited by this new addition to the LP12 stable, and are looking forward to getting one into our showroom. The only trouble is, in the short term, that these cartridges are slow to come off the production line, so we’re having to wait our turn. Customers of course get priority, so can leapfrog the queue of dealers. If you are interested in upgrading your cartridge, get your order in and we’ll book your place into the production line.
