Product Description

In order to make our best cartridge ever, we needed to look further afield, and at more varied materials. We conducted extensive experiments; auditioning different materials and configurations for the body, inserts, cantilever, suspension, windings and leads. The result is Ekstatik – the new jewel in the crown of the Linn cartridge range.

Our all-new, flagship cartridge, Ekstatik, 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 our search for ever better materials, our experiments led us to the implementation of aluminium-bronze inserts. Now a feature of Ekstatik, these inserts allow us to reap the sonic benefits we found this alloy to possess.

With a bespoke, honeycomb cut into the cartridge body, we have skeletonised Ekstatik so that overall mass is reduced to our preferred sweet spot of close to 7g.

A micro-ridge stylus on a sapphire cantilever makes for an extraordinarily responsive cartridge. The sapphire cantilever is far stiffer than boron or aluminium, resulting in less loss between the stylus and the generator.

The overall result is an agile, responsive cartridge with the added performance yielded from specifying these materials; masterfully matched in unique configurations.

About Linn

Linn is a Scottish manufacturer of high-end audio equipment, including turntables, loudspeakers, amplifiers, and digital music players. The company was founded in 1973 by Ivor Tiefenbrun and is headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland.

Linn is known for its innovative designs and use of advanced technologies to deliver high-quality sound. For example, the company's loudspeakers incorporate its patented Exakt technology, which uses digital signal processing to eliminate phase distortion and time errors, resulting in a more accurate and natural sound.

Linn's turntables are also highly regarded, with the company's LP12 model considered a classic in the industry. The turntable features a unique suspended sub-chassis design, which isolates the tonearm and cartridge from vibrations and results in a more accurate and detailed sound.
