I can tell you that I went down the Linn rabbit hole and the Kuzma is better in every way. It’s not vanilla vs chocolate it’s more like,
one is miles better vs one that isn’t.
I was was in the cult of Linn. But unlike many in the Linn camp I’m objective enough to know when something is better.
Linn Radikal is so cheaply made it compared to the Kuzma too.
The Kuzma does everything the Linn does but better....timing dynamics soundstage and is quieter. Also can try different tonearms instead of being stuck with an Ekos SE which is the most overpriced and under performing arm I ever had. It can only take “Linn” cartridges and some Dynavectors.
Im not a Linn basher but I am someone who has put his money where his mouth is unlike most die hard Linnies.
Also @daveyf in “all the Kuzma you’ve heard” have you actually ever listened to a Ref2 in your system??? And perhaps it’s not “funny” that all the guys that end up with Kuzmas say what I say. Perhaps it’s just true?????
I am not alone another friend in Australia went down the Linn path and ended up with the Ref2 as well.
Linn make a great classic TT but really it’s at best a $5000 TT they just keep fleecing their ongoing customers with the upgrades.
Been there done that.
