| The Sota Cosmos Vacuum Turntable Sounds like a great table. Two friends of mine who both have Sota tables have also experienced the Sota wait times. I think that people who really want a Sota have to be patient. For those of us who would want to go with a turntable with more t... | |
| Am I a hopeless audio snob? @pilrem Yes on the AMG and definitely Yes on the HRS. S or M levels platforms are amazing. Which AMG? | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time As a recent upgrader from Sussurro ES to Hyperion ES I can agree with the comments above. This cartridge is a surprisingly large improvement in the areas important to my ears. More tonal information, timbre definition and overall musical informa... | |
| Anyone Get a Degritter for Xmas? I've been using a Degritter for a couple months after using a Cleaner Vinyl setup for several years. With the Cleaner vinyl, I would wait and clean in batches because of the set up time. With the Degritter, even though it cleans and dries one at ... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above I really love the Kuzma 4 point headshell solution. You can swab cartridges fast and still have a clip to RCA continuity. As stated above, the 4 point 9 is not too heavy for the Sota's suspension system. I like tone controls on the integrated su... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts I think this arm is bringing out the best in both carts without erasing their individual character. I'm hearing increased musical details and clarity and an uptick in dynamics compared to the Mørch. The Lyra Etna SL has its trademark expansivene... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts Well I received the arm on two days ago and have got everything dialed in. I use Wally tools reference, SmarTractor and Adjust plus. My initial impressions are very positive. Working with this arm is a pleasure. Obviously well made and easily adj... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts Thom Mackris at Galibier is great. I ordered my 4point 9 from him and he had an armboard drilled for me. Should be receiving both this week. | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts @factoro2. Thanks for the clarification! | |
| Stylus Wear Question from my experience, the key to a good picture with a USB microscope is an adjustable but rigid stand to reduce vibrations and ease the movement into the correct position. I haven’t found a great one yet… | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts That TRA9 arm looks pretty great! Thanks for the link. You will need to start a new thread about it if you do get the new arm and table. | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts @audioquest4life Regarding the SME compatibility, the Kuzma 4point arms need a 50mm hole in the armboard and use three drill holes similar to Jelco mounts. | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts @audioquest4life It sounds like we were hearing very similar characteristics from the Sussurro. It is a low compliance cartridge and I need to try it in my FR-64S which may be an even better combo than the Morch DP8 or the new Kuzma. Looking forw... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts Should be receiving the 4point 9 in a couple weeks. Armboard being drilled… | |
| Three cheers for Keith Herron One of his stories involved him showing up to an audio show (I can't remember which one) with the first iteration of his phono stage without having reserved any space. He convinced someone to put it in their show system and try it. Harry Pearson... |
