Description
Krystal Specification: Krystal is a low output moving coil cartridge with an open framed, alloy chassis, three point headshell mounting, and an aluminium pipe cantilever tipped with a Vital Fine Line diamond. Linn state that the recommended load resistance range is 50-200 (ohms) and recommended load capacitance is 100-1000 (pF). At 1khz, channel separation is 30db and channel balance is 1db. Overall mass is 7grams (quite low for a high performance MC) and the recommended tracking force range is 1.5-2 grams.

GIGAWATT PC-3 EVO+ is a technologically advanced, new generation power conditioner, designed to power and protect audio-video systems of Hi-End class. This conditioner not only effectively protects against interference and overvoltage existing in the home power grid, but also guarantees a significant improvement of the quality of sound and displayed picture of the devices connected to it.
The main differences to the PC-2 EVO+:
- Two-sided PCBs, with thicker traces of silver plated copper
- Sendust core filters
- Silver plated internal wiring with bigger cross-section
- Voltage display
OCTAVE Super Black Box
OCTAVE, with the Black Box technology, offers an instrument to optimizing the OCTAVE amplifier in respect to the speaker. This flexibility is a unique feature of the OCTAVE brand.
The dynamic and tonal stability of an amplifier is strongly dependent upon the stability and capacity of the power supply, therefore the Black Box and Super Black Box were developed as external upgrades to the OCTAVE amplifiers’ power supply storage capacitors by increasing their capacitance by a factor of 4 (Black Box) or 10 (Super Black Box), respectively. This is a tremendous benefit if the speaker is difficult to drive. Loudspeaker efficiency is made less critical, while the amplifier is enabled to handle speakers with minimum impedances as low as 2 Ohms.
