Framer has the flagship in review at-least it’s what I was told. Framer said the 4 motor should have more noise
rep told me it’s less when they measured them with less motors and more. i like there tables plan to buy the big one lol 2 arms
 
This is a fantastic TT, enjoy it, and congratulations.

Congrats on your forthcoming table.

It’s amazing. This has no noise at all - at least that I can hear. It takes a lot to set one up so I know the name of an installer if you need one - Jose - The sound is unbelievable.

congrats!! and enjoy, j.sikora is absolutely top notch turntable with the right price tag!

I want to hear a Kuzma 4P on mine still. I noticed in some photos that Sikora himself had one on his own TT …

They were worked closely with Kuzma before, till they developed their own tone arm (kv12). So that obviously the reason you see a lot of Kuzma arms on them…
In comparison between the kv12 and the 4p I can tell you they are very close in dynamic and use ability… the kv is a uni pivot… so it’s a more delicate setup vs the 4p… but sound and work superbly.
though I had the chance to get both of them so I went for it for versatility porpoise.
Again, enjoy your amazing set up.
 
The UK distro also used Kuzma Airline on his Sikora.
