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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall result is an agile, responsive cartridge with the added performance yielded from specifying these materials; masterfully matched in unique configurations.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Linn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57897441427843,"sku":"15506","price":6050.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/9356\/6595\/files\/15506-1LinnEkstatikMainSoundcraftHiFi.jpg?v=1777287380","url":"https:\/\/www.soundcrafthifi.com\/products\/linn-ekstatik-moving-coil-cartridge","provider":"Soundcraft Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
