Why choose the Linn Kendo Cartridge?
The Linn Kendo Cartridge provides a premium moving-coil option for listeners upgrading a compatible turntable system.
Its suitability should be considered alongside the tonearm, turntable structure, phono stage and wider system rather than treating the cartridge as an isolated component.
Moving-coil cartridge design
Kendo is a moving-coil cartridge and requires a compatible moving-coil phono stage or amplifier input.
It should not be connected directly to a moving-magnet-only input unless a suitable MC phono stage or approved step-up solution is used.
Designed for compatible Linn systems
The Linn Kendo Cartridge can be used within suitably configured Linn turntable systems, including compatible Sondek LP12 setups.
The tonearm, armboard, cartridge mounting, tracking setup and phono-stage input should all be reviewed before installation.
Professional fitting and alignment
Cartridge installation requires precise mounting, alignment and adjustment of the relevant tonearm settings.
Professional fitting helps ensure that the cartridge sits correctly within the turntable system and that the stylus tracks the record groove as intended.
MC phono-stage compatibility
The Linn Kendo Cartridge requires a compatible moving-coil phono stage.
Rococo Systems can review the existing amplifier or phono stage and confirm whether it is suitable before installation.
Suitable for LP12 upgrades
Kendo can be considered as part of a wider Linn Sondek LP12 upgrade where the existing tonearm and turntable specification support the cartridge.
The bearing, suspension, sub-chassis, tonearm and phono stage should be assessed together so the cartridge is matched to the wider system.
Cartridge part-exchange
Linn’s price list includes part-exchange values for eligible cartridges, subject to serial-number verification and approval.
Any allowance should be confirmed before the order is agreed and should not be applied automatically as a website discount.
