I wouldn't sell the EMT line short. I admit only having a Tsd-75, which retails down near $2K US... But it's performance on my Kuzma Ref 2/Ref 313 VTA is quite satisfying. I'm not suggesting there are any free rides here, but the upper tier EMT carts could be worth adding to your "should check out" list.
Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm
Hi there,
I have a Kuzma Stabi-M and 4-Point (11") first generation arm, and a CAR-40.
Used to own a Lyra Delos before upgrading to the CAR, and found that the CAR-40 has a more "grounded sound" while Lyra has a more "nimble & lithe" sound. The CAR is a sturdier cartridge, as the Delos suspension did not last as long. The Delos is still sitting in a drawer.
Looking to upgrade my 7 year old CAR-40 now. New cartridge will be fitted on the said arm and turntable.
Considering CAR-50 and Lyra Etna Lambda.
