Feickert blackbird, kuzma 4 point which cartridge


İ am planning to buy a new cartridge for feickert blackbird tt, kuzma4 point tonearm, full asr electronics. İ have budget around 5k. Lyra, koetsu, shelter, dynavector, zyx, miyajima, ortofon are very popular i think. İ never had a chance to listen except ortofon models. Reviews are very confusing. İ really like to hear your opinions about these manufacturer models, and your recommendations.

I own not one but two 4Points amongst 8 arms on various tables. Couldn't disagree with Syntax' comments more . This is by far the best arm I have ever heard and I've pretty much heard them all and own a Graham , Dynavector , SME , Reed & Triplanar. Setup as Brian Walsh said, is absolutely key . I use a Uniprotractor / Uni-PS system for absolute precision in alignment and setup . The arm reacts to tiny changes in VTA / VTF and Azimuth . Full, vibrant, dynamic and absolutely stable - this arm is a work of engineering genius. I have had great luck with a ZYX Universe II , Clearaudio Goldfinger and Benz LP-S . Franc Kuzma himself loves mounting the LP-S on the arm. The Dynavector XV1-S would be a fine middle ground choice for someone who wants to traverse the analytical-lush divide with it's inherently warm yet detailed presentation.
