Description
Linn Krystal MC Cartridge
The Linn Krystal MC Cartridge is a high-performance moving coil (MC) phono cartridge that delivers exceptional musicality, clarity, and detail from your vinyl records.
Developed by Linn in the UK, the Krystal builds on the success of the Adikt with advanced engineering that captures even the most minute modulations in the record groove.
Featuring a precision-machined 7075 aluminium body, a nude Vital Fine Line diamond stylus, and a low-mass design, the Krystal offers reduced inertia for lightning-fast response, superior tracking, and outstanding resolution. Its triple-point mounting system ensures precise alignment, while the cross armature and copper coil windings contribute to a highly musical, agile, and emotionally engaging presentation.
Ideal for the iconic Linn LP12 and compatible with a wide range of quality tonearms, the Krystal represents a significant step up for audiophiles seeking greater insight, dynamics, and realism from their turntable. Whether you’re upgrading from a moving magnet cartridge like the Adikt or refining an existing setup, the Krystal reveals new layers of subtlety, soundstage depth, and tonal accuracy in your favourite records.

About Linn

Linn was founded in 1973 by Ivor Tiefenbrun. At that time, Ivor was dissatisfied with the performance of the Hi-Fi system he had just purchased after getting married.
He used the resources at his father’s engineering company to fix what he thought was wrong with the design of the system and it was then that the Sondek LP12 turntable was born.
This turntable is regarded as the most popular high-end turntable of all time. Linn has received worldwide acclaim for its quality products including the Royal Warrant award in 2002 and the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation in 2012.
