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.

just to note something....kuzma 4p is everything I described...obviously I heard it with a proper set up....blubber ... regards....
The Kuzma 4P is a very soft sounding Arm, good for slow music with nearly no dynamic swings or for very analytic sounding Systems. When you want to push the reproduction to a "bite" you need an extremely sharp cartridge, like Coldfinger, Air Tight or vdH. The majority of carts sound more or less in a way that there are no real differences. It makes the choice of carts pretty simple. Maybe a Transfiguration is overall a very good balance with that Arm, it is worth a try.
But I can easily say economic advantage of this deal is %50 percent of my decision.


Most Audiophiles think, any product sounds even better when they got a good Quote for it.

Unfortunately, top Performance has more to do with brain, average will be average, no matter for what price.
The LOL guys....no brain. The audiophile History is full with great reviews from everything. Each his own :-)
....but one thing is subjective opinion and other thing is spreading false informations...

...the next thing is, not to understand what is "served" and to attack those who are able for that and other thing is lifting a subjective opinion to a fact. Another thing is to compensate something with something to bend a "sound" in one or the other direction (that is the favorite task for the majority of Audiophiles) ... and then there are owner's Systems where it is nearly impossible to rate anything at all, like rolling a dice, the owner "likes" this & that and next week he changes his opinion ... one man's ceiling is another man's floor :-)
