Linn Akito tonearm
Linn Akito tonearm. Excellent pre-loved example from 2021
The Linn Akito tonearm is the middle arm in the Linn range. It comes fitted as standard on the Akurate LP12 and is an excellent upgrade for Majik LP12 owners. The Arm is a crucial element in any turntable and has a tough job to do. It must hold the cartridge securely and move freely in the required directions. To do this it must be rigid and use bearings of very high quality. Any play in the bearings will cause vital information in the record groove to be missed. As the stylus picks up the information from the groove it must not make the arm vibrate so the structure of the arm must not only be stiff but free of resonances.
Linn use the finest components and assembly processes to meet these challenging design requirements. Hand assembly and vast experience in arm building will ensure your product performs and lasts for years to come.
The Linn Akito tonearm features a larger diameter arm tube than the Majik and also improved bearings. It incorporates other features and technology born out of the Ekos SE development. The die cast headshell is bonded to the armtube. This provides a stable rigid base for your cartridge.
The Akito is perfect for any good quality MM or MC cartridge such as the Adikt (MM) or Krystal (MC).
