Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts
karl_deschI have heard that many find the Kuzma/Lyra combination to work well. Does anyone think there would be an advantage to the 4Point 11" over the 4Point 9"? Specifically with sound quality not VTA tower use. On my Kuzma 4Point 11", I alwa...

Woodsong Garrard 301, Artisan Fidelity 301, Shindo 301, SME 301, or etc.?
