With no cartridge housing, potential sources of resonance are removed which results in purer, cleaner sound, making all your vinyl sound better than ever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve also kept the weight of the cartridge down by using a plastic front yoke screw rather than metal. As well as allowing the counterweight to be moved closer to the bearing point which gives a quicker reaction to changes in the vinyl, using a plastic screw eliminates any magnetic interference to the delicate coils in the cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother notable innovation in Kandid is the angle of the mechanical body and the tracking angle of the cantilever which have also been moved from 23° to 20°. This means that when it’s placed under tracking force on the LP surface, the flux lines remain symmetrical, ensuring that mechanical forces on the coils and iron core remain equal in all directions, avoiding any deformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKandid uses the finest nude diamond Line Contact stylus and benefits from a ceramic boron cantilever for ultra low mass and extremely high rigidity. The suspension mechanism supports hand-wound coils secured in a high-precision rigid assembly, terminated with gold contacts on flying leads for superb signal transmission. The coils in the Kandid also feature an extra winding to increase output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey  features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"inner-zz inner-aa aa-showgrid bb-showgrid cc-showgrid dd-showgrid ee-showgrid ff-showgrid gg-showgrid hh-showgrid ii-showgrid jj-showgrid yy-showgrid zz-showgrid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"zz2-zz6 aa2-aa6 gg2-gg11 gg-clear\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pad-t-5-aa pad-b-8-aa\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-update-hash=\"true\" data-transition=\"switch\" data-content-set-id=\"range\" class=\"content-set aa-all aa-showgrid bb-showgrid cc-showgrid dd-showgrid ee-showgrid ff-showgrid gg-showgrid hh-showgrid ii-showgrid jj-showgrid yy-showgrid zz-showgrid ready\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-update-hash=\"true\" data-content-id=\"kandid\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"zz-all zz-overlap aa-all aa-overlap ff-all hh-all pad-b-16-aa\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"inner-aa\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"zz2-zz6 aa2-aa6 ff2-ff8 gg2-gg11 border-t-hair-aa border-secondary1-aa pad-t-4-aa style-features font-size-16-aa font-weight-normal-aa margin-t-4-gg ff-clear gg-clear hh-clear\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinn's highest performing cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoving coil (MC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow mass housing and cantilever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision machined 7075 aluminium body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriple-point mounting system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNude diamond Line Contact stylus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-update-hash=\"true\" data-transition=\"switch\" data-content-set-id=\"range\" class=\"content-set aa-all aa-showgrid bb-showgrid cc-showgrid dd-showgrid ee-showgrid ff-showgrid gg-showgrid hh-showgrid ii-showgrid jj-showgrid yy-showgrid zz-showgrid ready\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-update-hash=\"true\" data-content-id=\"krystal\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aa-clear\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-update-hash=\"true\" data-transition=\"switch\" data-content-set-id=\"range\" class=\"content-set aa-all aa-showgrid bb-showgrid cc-showgrid dd-showgrid ee-showgrid ff-showgrid gg-showgrid hh-showgrid ii-showgrid jj-showgrid yy-showgrid zz-showgrid ready\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-update-hash=\"true\" data-content-id=\"adikt\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"zz-all zz-overlap aa-all aa-overlap ff-all hh-all pad-b-16-aa\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"inner-aa\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"zz2-zz6 aa2-aa6 ff2-ff8 gg2-gg11 border-t-hair-aa border-secondary1-aa pad-t-4-aa style-features font-size-16-aa font-weight-normal-aa margin-t-4-gg ff-clear gg-clear hh-clear\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"zz2-zz6 aa2-aa6 ff2-ff8 gg2-gg11 border-t-hair-aa border-secondary1-aa pad-t-4-aa style-features font-size-16-aa font-weight-normal-aa margin-t-4-gg ff-clear gg-clear hh-clear\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStylus Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNude line contact diamond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBoron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArmature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSquare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePin Connection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFlying wire with termination clips\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Balance at 1 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e±0.5 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Separation at 1kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBetter than 35 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e50–200 Ω\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Capacitance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e100–1000 pF\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracking Force\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1.72–1.77 g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Mass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5.7 g\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Linn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44609420460074,"sku":null,"price":7995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/9645\/9818\/files\/linn-kandid-moving-coil-cartridge.webp?v=1784814037","url":"https:\/\/gc-hifi.com.au\/products\/linn-kandid-moving-coil-cartridge","provider":"GC Hifi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
