Two years in development, Krystal uses the design principles of our leading moving coil cartridge Kandid to capture the minute changes in the record groove, letting you hear every musical detail. Krystal features a similar approach to minimising mass as Kandid, using a nude design to give the cartridge less inertia so it can react more quickly to the changes in the groove. It also uses the triple-point mounting system for a solid connection to the tonearm headshell, while the aircraft grade 7075 aluminium chassis provides a lightweight, stiff and stable platform for the generator. Even the adhesive used on Krystal was painstakingly selected to provide the most rigid bond possible to avoid any dampening effects. Whether you specify Krystal on your current turntable or buy it as part of an  Akurate LP12 , you're guaranteed to enjoy a more musical performance from all your vinyl.

Here’s a new talking point for audiophiles and flannel-wearers at the water cooler: Vinyl sales generate more money for the  music  industry than YouTube, ad-based Spotify, and VEVO combined, according to  a new report by the RIAA . And it’s not just by a little. While the on-demand, ad-based, music services are generating more money than ever — $163 million in the first half this year as opposed to $128 million last — vinyl sales, at $222 million, have those numbers soundly beat. Related :  With 15 million subscribers, Apple Music is on the fast track to success The once-antiquated format now accounts for almost a third of physical music sales. With purchases of Vinyl up 52 percent from this time last year, no other format is growing at such a rapid rate. In fact, CD sales are down by almost a third year over year, with fewer and fewer people interested in digital music outside of streaming services or downloaded material. In a pop-culture wo...

I hit the Linn do at the Violin Factory, and found upwards of  eight new offerings. MD Gilad Tiefenbrun introduced the new style friendly speakers.
