| − | =Kendo Cartridge=
| |
| − | An elite performance moving coil cartridge. <br>
| |
| − | Kendo is a modern martial art form; translated from the Japanese it means “way of the sword”. At Linn however, the word has different connotations. Our sword is forged of boron, with a super-fine-line tip. Our armour is anodised, 7075-grade aluminium. Kendo is the eager apprentice to its master, Ekstatik; sharing the same values, and learning many of its tricks along the way.<br>
| |
| − | The Kendo is the outcome of our engineers’ efforts to capitalise on the elements of Ekstatik which work so well; using our tried-and-true, trickle-down development methodology to produce a more affordable, high-performance cartridge which retains the same core design principles and acoustic fingerprint

| |
| − | <small>Note: Ekstatik requires at least 15hrs ‘burn-in’; we’ve found that performance continues to improve and reaches its peak after ~40hrs.</small>

| |
| − | =Key Points=
| |
| − | • A micro-ridge stylus on a sapphire cantilever makes for an extraordinarily responsive cartridge.<br>
| |
| − | • Featuring aluminium-bronze inserts, to reap the sonic benefits of this alloy.<br>
| |
| − | • Bespoke honeycomb cut into the cartridge body means mass is reduced to our preferred sweet spot of close to 7g.<br>
| |
| − | • Designed to outperform our Kandid MC cartridge. <br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =Mounting=
| |
| − | If the Ekstatik cartridge has been provided with 2 long and 1 short screws (later cartridges have been supplied with 3 short screws):
| |
| − | : The <b>long</b> screws are <u>only</u> for the <b>outer/side</b> mounting points.
| |
| − | : The <b>short</b> screw is for the <b>rear centre</b> mount
