Linn Ekstatik MC Cartridge
This new flagship cartridge sets a new bar for arm/cartridge
synergy; its unique construction forges an harmonious synergy
with Ekos SE; wicking away more unwanted resonances along the
arm, and out through the sub-chassis.
In their search for ever better materials at Linn, their experiments led them to
the implementation of aluminium-bronze inserts. Now a feature of
Ekstatik, these inserts allow them to reap the sonic benefits they found
this alloy to possess. A micro-ridge stylus on a sapphire cantilever makes for an
extraordinarily responsive cartridge. The sapphire is far stiffer than
boron or aluminium, eliciting less loss between the stylus and the
generator.
The result is an agile, responsive cartridge, with the added
performance yielded from specifying these materials; masterfully
matched in unique configurations.
