About the Arkiv B

The Linn Arkiv B is a refined low-output moving-coil phono cartridge featuring a boron cantilever and a line contact stylus for precise groove tracking and detailed sound reproduction. It has a weight of 7.4 grams and is designed to be used with rigid, medium-mass tonearms such as Linn's Ekos or Ittok. The cartridge offers excellent channel separation (better than 30 dB) and channel balance within ±0.5 dB at 1 kHz, with an output voltage of approximately 0.4 mV at 1 kHz (3.45 cm/s). It is optimized for a recommended load of greater than 50 ohms and a tracking force between 1.8 and 2.0 grams. The Arkiv B is known for its open neutrality, superior dynamics, and engineering refinement through several generations, making it suitable for audiophiles seeking high-fidelity vinyl playback.
