Our world view consist of ''opposites'' because our concepts are
so constructed. Say our linguistic orientation or limitation.
So ''the opposite'' of Linn LP12 is Kuzma Stabi Reference. Raul
mentioned in one of his ''innumerable'' contributions about LP12:
''if an design is good why so many upgrades?'' Well in this context
the opposite is Kuzma which was the same for more than
25(?) years. However , speaking of ''design'', one can say that
Kuzma is actually 'improved'' Audiomeca desigend by Pierre
Lurne. Both use inverted bearing, 8 kg platter, specific drive and
''much'' of acrylic. Only Kuzma was not allowed to use lead (grin).
My transition from LP 12 to Kuzma Stabi Reference was like a
kind of liberation. Something ''similar'' with my transition from
an communist to an liberal society. However for an ''hifi nuts''
there is no ''perfect gear''. Otherwise the search would be over.
My only objection was/ is the limitation to 9'' tonearms. So I
was ''forced'' to order an armpod + 12 '' tonearm and put both
next to the Kuzma and get the ''symmetry'' right : two motors
and two tonearms (grin).
