[Test Note] Check Empire 2000E/III on my setup
Linn Klyde
The Linn Klyde comes from the Scottish maker famous for its turntables. Its ultra low 0.15 mV output demands a high gain MC phono input or a step up transformer. The Line Contact stylus tracks between 1.55 and 1.75 g by specification. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond means a retip.

Additional Info
The Linn Klyde with its Vital tip is precise and articulate. Fine detail comes through with vivid imaging that places voices and instruments naturally across a stable soundstage, bass stays tight, and a low noise floor lets subtleties breathe. The less forgiving nature rewards careful setup and clean pressings with jazz, acoustic and vocal music. The stylus is integrated, and only retipping restores it when worn.
