| Degritter MKI versus Degritter MKII Not the same thing, but you can update your firmware on the MK I to the latest greatest version which alters US cleaning options. | |
| Kuzma Stabi R mat? I very happy with my three main low output cartridges (Lyra Etna SL, SoundSmith Hyperion, Koetsu Rosewood Sig. Platinum). I am going to demo the Car-50, because I can, not really in the market for a new cartridge. Just having fun with the new tur... | |
| Kuzma Stabi R mat? Agree with you @tomic601. Thom will be testing out a Kuzma reflex clamp in a couple weeks. I’m sure he will let me know what he hears. I should also be getting a Car 50 from a friend to demo. That should also be interesting. @sbank Glad you ... | |
| Kuzma Stabi R mat? @rdk777 . Did you move on to a Techdas after the Stab R? | |
| Kuzma Stabi R mat? @sbank How is the Audiomods arm treating you these days? | |
| Kuzma Stabi R mat? @mijostyn I am using the 2212 Benchmate version that Steve at Sounds of Silence sells. (Awesome alliterations). It works great and as Fremer noted in his review long ago, even better with a Symposium Svelte shelf between the Vibraplane and the ta... | |
| Kuzma Stabi R mat? According to Thom Mackris at Galibier (my Kuzma dealer), since the introduction of the Stabi R, Kuzma no longer provides a record clamp with it new tables. They still make a screw down reflex clamp for their tables. So I could purchase that one ... | |
| Kuzma Stabi R mat? BTW, the Stabi R is on a Vibraplane which I think functions very similarly to a MinusK. | |
| Kuzma Stabi R mat? So the Sota Reflex doesn’t require a threaded spindle? What reflex clamps work best with a threaded spindle? | |
| Kuzma Stabi R mat? @mijostyn I am using a Pass Labs XP-27. The Lyra SLs are amazingly resolving without being harsh. I’m sure yours will work well with your current based phono pre. When my ETNA needs a retip I’ll send it for the Lambda update for sure. | |
| Kuzma Stabi R mat? I appreciate the advice from all. @mijostyn makes a good point though about how this flexible mat is designed to work with a reflex clamp. Others have indicated that Kuzma makes an expensive ebony clamp. But I’m going to assume Incan start with... | |
| My analog journey - time for a new phono stage or? Huge fan of Pass Labs Phono preamps. Owned the XP-15 and now use an XP-27. Never listened to a Sumiko cartridge but I would also consider that a cartridge change might make a larger impact on sound quality than a phono pre. I would recommend you... | |
| Kirmuss Ultrasonic record cleaner Th OP asks a question about use of the Kirmuss and gets told to sell it. Very helpful. My friend had a Kirmuss and always drained the fluid after a session. He cleaned around once a month. That being said, if you are using it every day, I'm su... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 Any way this could have something to do with the 6db boost in balanced configuration compared to the single ended? Does the woofer pump in balanced mode if the speaker is much farter away from the table? | |
