Product Description

Kendo is a modern martial art form; translated from the Japanese it means “way of the sword”. At Linn however, the word has unique connotations. Our sword is forged of boron, with a super-fine-line diamond tip. Our armour is nickel-coated, 7075-grade aluminium. Kendo is the eager apprentice to its master, Ekstatik; sharing the same values, and picking up many of its traits along the way.

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.

Kendo possesses a rigid, nickel-coated 7075-grade aluminium body. This specific grade of aluminium matches that of our Arko tonearm, for which Kendo was designed to be the perfect partner. This facilitates superb material synergy throughout the tonearm system, and effectively banishes unwanted resonances away from the delicate generator, along the arm, and out through the sub-chassis.

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.
