    Hi Bonesy Jonesy, I like the Kuzma Ebony Record Weight very much indeed, and in direct comparison with the Shun Mook Ebony Record Clamp, which I like very much also, I would just add that the Kuzma is a lot lighter than the Mook, and only weighs 333 gr, where as the Mook weighs 450 gr. So, my...

    Hi Ron, Thank you for your message. Well, I have actually tried a 1.3 kgs heavy weight and that was just fine. And I didn't detect any sonic anomalies whatsoever. I did check the speed too, and everything was OK. Kuzma used to do the outer ring that weighed 1.5 kgs that fitted the XL DC and...

    Massif Audio Design Full Mpingo record weight

    I do have an original first generation Shun Mook Ebony LP Clamp - made from century old ebony, briar root swamp wood - this was the much more choosier wood, the very dense and heavy extra black wood - the very early one's from the early nineties had 8 - machined grooves to the lower body, these...

    Massif Audio Design Full Mpingo record weight

    Unfortunately, this purchase has not been straight forward. Whilst on first impressions it sounded very good, cosmetically it was very disappointing, it had rather a lot of checking / cracking in the timber. Regretfully, the merchant's customer service has proved to be pretty much non existent...
