Why choose the Linn Krystal Cartridge?
The Linn Krystal Cartridge provides a moving-coil option for listeners looking to upgrade a compatible turntable system.
It should be selected as part of a considered system configuration, taking the tonearm, turntable and phono stage into account.
Moving-coil cartridge design
Krystal is a moving-coil cartridge and therefore requires a phono stage or amplifier input designed to support moving-coil cartridges.
It should not be connected directly to a moving-magnet-only input unless a suitable external MC phono stage or step-up solution is present.
Designed for compatible Linn systems
The Linn Krystal Cartridge is suitable for use within compatible Linn turntable systems, including appropriately configured Sondek LP12 turntables.
The tonearm, armboard, tracking setup and phono-stage input should all be checked before installation.
Professional fitting and alignment
Cartridge installation requires precise alignment, secure mounting and accurate adjustment of tracking force and related tonearm settings.
Incorrect setup can affect performance and may also place unnecessary strain on the stylus, records or tonearm.
MC phono-stage compatibility
The Linn Krystal Cartridge must be used with a compatible moving-coil phono stage.
Rococo Systems can review the customer’s existing amplifier or phono stage and confirm whether it is suitable before installation.
Suitable for LP12 upgrades
Krystal can be considered as part of an LP12 upgrade where the wider turntable specification supports the cartridge.
The tonearm, bearing, suspension, sub-chassis and phono stage should be assessed together rather than treating the cartridge as an isolated change.
Part-exchange may be available
Linn’s price list includes cartridge part-exchange values for eligible cartridges, subject to serial-number verification and Linn approval.
Any part-exchange value should be confirmed before the order is agreed and should not be deducted automatically from the website price.
