    Kuzma cart differences: CAR30-40-50?

    I had a Car-40 that I bought as a package with Stabi M and 4-point arm. I really liked it and enjoyed it and it can be a very comfortabşle choice if the price is right. I have then used Miyajima Madake which I liked more and then a Miyabi Fuuga. I very much prefer my Miyabi Fuuga now to these...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    I haven't received mine. It is now close to 15 months overdue. He has answered an email of mine lately and told me he will send me a tonearm. He attached a few photos from his latest tonearm design but no details on when he is going to send me mine...

    DaVa FC-A1 a field coil contender

    Yes, and it has a microridge stylus. I was always wondering why they have chosen conical and not a more advanced profile. I think if they kept the rest of the qualities and could put in the more advance profile, it is great. It also has lower tracking force which is good for the collection...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    Can someone explain this to me? My tonearm is more than a year overdue as well as lots of others but there is one for sale on facebook. I tried to write message on the sale but it didn't let me.

    DaVa FC-A1 a field coil contender

    My dava project is still going on but I did not finish gathering all the items yet. As some of you know, I did not receive my tonearm from Alfred Bokrand so I went ahead and bought a very special tonearm from Eugene Komissarov. It is now ready, so I guess I will have it in a month or so. I also...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    Just to let others in the loop, I still have not received my tonearm. About 2 weeks ago Alfred told me he will send me his new improved tonearm in 10 work days and I should feel lucky to get the improved arm at this price. To be frank I would have felt more lucky if I received what I have...

    I bought mine from jpc.de and they have shipped yesterday, I hope to listen to this next week! It was a no brianer for me as I love what they have done with Ma Vlast.

    Seismion - new active isolation platform from Germany

    I am just hearing it, I have not made any measurements. The effect is positive for me as the sound of the record gets a slightly better definition over the frequency spectrum, kind of less background. The more interesting part for me is the sound becoming a little more effortless but at the...

    Seismion - new active isolation platform from Germany

    Well, the sound is good, and the effect is positive but as of yet, I think these kind of investments are worth it if you already are happy with your room and equipment. I got one as I want to test it between different types of TT and electronics. I have a personal system at home that I am...

    Seismion - new active isolation platform from Germany

    I have forgotten that I have also ordered a Seismion, it has been some time. Today, my dealer called me to tell me it has arrived! I got the big one 50cmx60cm / 80kg load. I will try it under my Kuzma Stabi M but most probably it will help the Garrard 401 or the Sony PS-X9 more. We'll see (hear).

    Your All Time Favorite Preamplifiers?

    This may be confirmation bias as I decided upon this pre as my main pre for my home system. icon audio pro4 silver balanced that I have has 4 silver Slagle autoformers, reed relays and all the extras he could do. It is, for me, flawless.

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    Hi Alfred. This is Sami Okan Soylu. I have sent an email to you with my bank account details and I am waiting for the refund. I respected your situation for over 10 months. There are many emails in between with many excuses and some where you say you are going to send me my tonearm in a week...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    What do you mean? You told me you would deliver in two weeks and it has been ten months! How would do you describe that? I feel I have definitely lost money and you are here to prove it!

    What turntables do you use? Pictures would be nice as well :-)

    A very very rare sight and sound that I am enjoying right now. A Sony PS-X9 turntable with the first diamond cantilever and stylus spu style cartridge from Sony, the XL88D Custom.

    On hunt for new a phonostage

    I am very surprised to hear that you had QC with Channel D. We bought 3 units with two other friends and all are impeccable. I did not go for the voltage input but my friends did. I already have good voltage phono. Hearing what transimpedance can do with low internal resistance cartridges I had...

    Rockport Technologies Introduces Orion Loudspeaker

    First a disclaimer. I had products in the Absolare/Rockport room. The diffuser wall was made by company. I had the opposite experience. I visited audioquest room and I was underwhelmed, sounded a little flat but maybe because I was the first listener that day. I then spent some time on the...
