Kuzma tables/arms?
Yes- barbapapa brings up a good point. I'm also looking for more of an organic sound. I've only heard the Kuzma 12" VTA, but it was on a Dr. Feickert table. I found it very laid back, actually a bit thick sounding. Perhaps a setup issue. A/V Showr... 
Kuzma Stabi S and 4point? overkill?
One more inquiring mind here, that would like to know. (-: Cheers -Don 
Kuzma tables/arms?
Thanks to all so far. If I get the Pipe Bomb, it would sit on a Lignolab from Germany. It's a suspended rack, wood but NOT solid wood. It uses 4 lawnmower wheel looking things for feet, that sit in some type of oil bath. If I have to add something... 
Spendor A6 vs Harbeth Compact 7ES-3
Admittedly, I don't have much experience with Harbeth. I do have a pair of P3's, for which I soon hope to buy an amp for. I consider myself a tube guy for sure. However, with the P3's, I plan to go with a Croft phono integrated which has a tubed s... 
Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr
miner42- Very nice office system you've set up there. If I was going to set up a digital based system, I may have taken the same route.  What I plan to do is integrate this system in to my main listening room. It will be for shorter listening sess... 
Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr
Thanks all. I may give Gene a call, but will first seek out a closer dealer. With regard to a cartridge, I have some time to figure that out. I would like to avoid an SUT, and the extra cable that would be needed. So either an MM, or a High output... 
Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr
Yogi- I called Jay (Bluebird) last week, and left a VM. No return call. I figured it was a fluke, called again, and left another VM. No return call. At that point, I figured he wasn't responsive because he was only the Canada, but not US distribut... 
Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr
Thanks- I was hoping 50 watts would be plenty, especially the way I plan on using this system. Does anyone know who the Croft US importer is? I want to get some recommendations for a well matched cartridge. So far, going only from what I've read.....

noromance- Any thoughts on a nice MM cart to keep things simple.  I was thinking Nagaoka. Thanks (-:  
Spendor A6 vs Harbeth Compact 7ES-3
How did you like them at moderate levels, with less complex music. Jazz, singer-songwriter, pop....? That's a nice setup you had, so I'm sure it excelled very well in some areas. I have a pair of P3's I bought in August, that I will soon be settin... 
Luxman PD-171-A Tonearm Conversion
I would call Philip O’Hanlon. A great source if you’re in Canada is Danny Labrecque. Danny’s website is phonographe.ca.  I heard the Jelco 750 is a clear step up from the 250. The last I heard Philip was trying an SME (S shaped) arm, but that may ... 
My final table , hopefully !
Sancho22- I don't mean to doubt you, but just want to confirm. You found a VPI better than a Kuzma Stabi/Stogi? This was with the same cartridge, and NO change in associated equipment. Cheers -Don 
Luxman L-590AX
Does the 590AX generate much heat? I would assume a fair amout, being that it's Class A.  Any comments on the phono section? I would be driving Harbeth P3's.  
My final table , hopefully !
I have an Amadeus GTA mk 1, with the full golf ball. It’s a keeper. I am also looking for an additional turntable, but not to replace the WTL. The table I’m considering may be slightly above your price range, but certainly would be close if you go... 
Your favorite BEACH BOYS LP besides PET SOUNDS
The QRP Surfs Up sounds very good, love the music. Sound wise it's not quite as good as the QRP Pet Sounds Stereo, but that's a very high bar. I hear the Stereo Surfer Girl is mind blowing. I truly enjoy their later period. I finally picked up the...
