| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Isolation is very important with TTs. I have a Kuzma XL4, the platter is 22Kg. total weight over 100Kg with 2 arm towers. It sits on a 110kg sandwich of slate and marble, then on an an industrial acoustic filter material ( filters 5-8HZ up) of abo... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Have not heard the Brinkman. The Kuzma XL is better than the TW also mentioned in the Syntax link. | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 I echo Whart's thoughts on the Kuzma XL. I compared it to the Sme TTs same cart on each but sme V arms vs XL+313 arm. Preferred the Kuzma. I have not heard the TWs - a friend compared the single motor TW to the Kuzma XL, he much preferred the Kuzm... | |
| Unsatisfied with Esoteric K-01: Alternatives? You should have a listen to the Playback MPS-5. It is a very musical disc player and has an excellent external connection to it's DAC | |
| Playback Designs Thanks for the info Doggiehowser | |
| Playback Designs I have a MPS-5 which I purchased after comparing to the dcs Puccini and U clock. The Playback sounds less digital to me, I have a high end vinyl rig and the MPS can sound surprisingly similar, depending on the recording. It sounds anything but lea... | |
| Analog vs Digital Confusion I am indeed the type of guy you suggest whart (61). We also share similar TTs and cartridges, I use an AirTight pc-3. The 4point is a wonderful sounding arm btw, I speced my own arm tower which saved me a lot of money.I agree it is a real buzz to ... | |

| Analog vs Digital Confusion I have never had an issue with pitch stability when using a TT.As for vinyl v CD then as has been mentioned previously I think it is a preference thing.I came to CD quite late and still have a largish vinyl collection so it made sense to invest in... | |
| playback mps-5 v dcs puccini thanks for your suggestions Doggiehowser. I have decided to get hold of an USB-X box, then investigate the computer side. I have a mac pro and a macbook pro at the moment. | |
| playback mps-5 v dcs puccini Mike - you mentioned the USB-X that you use with the MPS-5, have you compared CD disc playback with the same CD file played through the USB-X box from your computer?I wondered if the playback from the computer, through the box, was as good as play... | |
| Next Phonostage I used a BAT P10se for a long time and considered upgrading it as I liked it a lot. Could not in the end as there are no dealers anymore in the UK. I now use the ARC Ref 2 which is indeed fairly neutral, dynamic, fluid with a wide sound stage. I a... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? I use a Playback MPS-5, first cd player to run my kuzma XL4 deck close. | |
