Cartridge of the Year 2004 "...At first look, it seems rather surprising that the very same company that has developed some of the most advanced electronics in recent history (Unidisk 1.1 was "Product Of the Year 2004" award winner in sister publication Image Home Entertainment ) should also give us this most remarkable phono pickup cartridge. But then, the manufacturer is Linn..."

"With a superb sense of ease through the midrange, the ADIKT portrays stringed instruments such as guitar clearly and without strain. The slight bass richness in no way interfered with the range above it. Instead, it seemed to merely help take any aggressive edge off the midrange, which resulted in a well-defined tone that also refrained from any glare. The acoustic guitar on "Folsom Prison Blues" from Johnny Cash, Live at Folsom Prison [Columbia CS 9639] had the requisite crispness that I’m familiar with, and in fact gave up very little in the way of image definition and depth to my far more expensive Shiraz moving-coil. On a tonal and dynamic basis, the ADIKT kicks butt. It’s a lively cartridge, has great bass, and is neither bright nor recessed. It images well, and portrays the meaning of the music in a convincing manner."

"Affordable the ADIKT certainly is, especially compared to moving-coil cartridges at the performance extremes, but it is not a scaled-down product. It's a new moving-magnet cartridge that offers exceptional performance, full-bodied sound, and unerring tracking. If you're looking for a new phono cartridge or looking to rediscover the joys of your record collection, consider getting Adikted."

"...The new Adikt is a typical Linn cartridge: highly coherent, beautifully smooth and undistorted with lots of rhythmic energy. Lowest channel cross-talk and best trackability in this group test. Outstanding value for money..."

"...The Linn Adikt is absolutely stunning, demanding no compromises whatsoever. Not only is it a worthy successor to all former Linn moving magnets, to the best of my knowledge there has never been a cartridge offering better value for money from anyone, anywhere..."
