    The importance of measuring VTF at the right height when using the Kuzma 4-point etc

    I thought of that but it seemed a bit risky.

    The importance of measuring VTF at the right height when using the Kuzma 4-point etc

    At what height you measure VTF is very important, if you measure above the height of the record surface you will get the wrong VTF. On some balanced tone arms this isn’t a problem but with the 4-point the most of the arms mass is so above the record surface, that it’s what they call a negatively...

    Kuzma Stabi R compared to a Garrard 301/401??

    I really love StabiR had it for a couple of years. You can’t go wrong with it. Haven’t decided what sides I will use yet, I bought it without the metal sides because my intention was to let a carpenter make sides of some nice wood or perhaps make them in acrylic ore brass. Haven’t come around to...

    Kuzma Stabi R compared to a Garrard 301/401??

    I use the StabiR with the feet. I already had the feet when I bought the R. I used them with my StabiS. So I never compared with or without, and was to lazy to lift this heavy bugger to try. Anyway I did a while back and with the feet, sound is more detailed and relaxed, almost as a vail is...

    Kuzma cart differences: CAR30-40-50?

    To be fair I had this cart for many years and it is refurbished once, about two years ago, I have about 290h on it since. It was refurbished by Techne Audio in Germany.

    Kuzma cart differences: CAR30-40-50?

    I recomend CAR if you have a tonearm that can handle the weight. I have used Benz LP, Benz Glider, Benz ACE L, Hana Umami Blue, Scheu MC among others. I really love my CAR-30 and now I just recently sold of my spare Benz Glider and I’m ready to buy the next main cartridge for my StabiR/4-point...

    My (SMT) room

    Horns are very directive, so my major concern is the walls directly in front of me and behind me. There I have the Svanå Wing and S-wing. To dispatch energy both in direction and time domain. The Absorbents are from a Swedish company called Bullerbekämparen. They are very broad banded and takes...

    My (SMT) room

    If you mean my room? approx 7x6x3m I had a larger room once. That was 11x5x4m, huge.

    My (SMT) room

    Just for the record, it was the original LP, not the new LPS that I suspect is much better than the old one. Benz SLR are also a candidate for me in the future. I recently tried the Hana umami Blue at home.... rich in color but a bit dull compared to the CAR, except in the area that made steel...

    My (SMT) room

    Awsome!!! I also had a Benz LP (the old) and bought a CAR-30 that sounded more dramatic and better in the system I had back then. The Benz LP sounded more romantic or sophisticated, but the CAR-30 had both grunt dynamics, sweet top end yet detailed and fun. Since then my system has gone through...

    Lyra Etna, Miyajima Labs Madake or....?

    Hi! I’m using a CAR-30 for a couple of years now. I got it back from refurbish service, new coils, damper, cantaliver (boron) and MR diamond by a 3part. It sounds extremely correct, not really as I remembered it. While it was gone I moved up to a R from a S, same 4-point (9”) so it is maybe not...

    Kuzma arms

    Thanks! I have the R myself, but with the 4-point 9” . If I ever can afford it a Safir would be awesome to have on my R.

    Kuzma arms

    She made these, 1,3K natural Ruby’s and top wesselton diamonds, white gold. Almost the same price as a Safir arm.

    Kuzma arms

    Well, I assume that the arm really costs more than her ring, but don’t tell her! (My girlfriend is a goldsmith and jewelry setter so I can’t fool her) The Safir is awesome but what about setting it on a StabiR?

    What’s the world’s best 2 watt amplifier?

    I Will join the crowd that states Firs Watt as a reasonable substitute for low power tubes. I’ve used Cary amp, JJ 2A3-40 monoblocks, I’ve tried many others but then I bought a DIY return of zen as a “reserve” since tubes started to get hard to get during the Corona. It sounded so dam good that...

    Kuzma SAFIR 9

    Wow! Way of my chart money vise. But so cool, some people don’t appreciate the Kuzma functionalism “Star Wars Imperial style” design but I love it. It would look nice as a second arm on my Stabi R.

    Kuzma Stabi S vs VPI Prime...

    Kuzma everyday! I have a StabiS with PSU REF2 and 4-point 9” a friend of mine had a VPI Scout Master. He was so impressed by mine that he bought a StabiR with 4-point just to piss me off, and he thinks the years with the VPIwas a complete waste of time. ......

    Kuzma Stabi S vs Technics 1200GR

    I’d definitely would go with the Kuzma, in fact I’ve had mine for 15 years. I’m still very found of it and have no urge to buy another TT although the R is cool. I’ve upgraded mine with double platter, not necessary on the latest S since they have a thick platter from start. I’ve upgraded to...

    A aluminum cup, a steel cup with silicone ring and decoupling. It works very nice with my Uni fino edition without altering original design.

    Reality check green is the REW EQ and the red is “mine” but the proof is in the pudding how does it sound? Edit hm have to double check that seems to be the other way around right?
