An elite performance moving coil cartridge. <br>

A formidable, entry-level cartridge; Koil is a superb first step onto the ladder of premium moving coil cartridges. <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>

This '''Majik'''-level cartridge offers a step up in performance from Adikt; either as an upgrade, or at the point of purchasing a new Majik LP12..<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

Choose Koil if you intend to use your Majik LP12 with a moving coil phono preamplifier.

Koil Cartridge

A formidable, entry-level cartridge; Koil is a superb first step onto the ladder of premium moving coil cartridges.
This Majik-level cartridge offers a step up in performance from Adikt; either as an upgrade, or at the point of purchasing a new Majik LP12..
Choose Koil if you intend to use your Majik LP12 with a moving coil phono preamplifier.

Key Points

  • Moving coil (MC)
  • Nude Microlinear Stylus
  • Low mass boron cantilever
