Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts

we have to stay conscious of what really is happening down there.

to a point... , that is all well and good, the math is interesting, but as you know there is ultimately only one thing that matters... how does it sound?

No amount of theory and opinion and debate is going to tell me how it sounds in my system. I am fortunate enough that I can afford to just buy one and try it so that is what I'm doing

thanks for the input

Dear @herman  :  "   but as you know there is ultimately only one thing that matters... how does it sound? "

I agree with you and posted something similar in the last post.

Again what we like is what matters but some of us that analize those numbers that say a lot of things ( not the kind of sound we coukld have. ) can  discriminate/select in better way our decisions and the why's behind those decisions.

Anyway, you got my point: appreciated.

And please let us know what you think when your 4point14 is installed and playing.

I will continue to think about the 4point 9 versus the original 4point, 11”.

Dear @karl_desch  :  "  Will the higher effective mass of the 4point 11 work better with the Etna SL?


About resonance frequency the 9" mate well with Etna SL but the 11" goes out of the " theorical/ideal " resonance frequency range .

That does not necessary means that is a wrong mate the 11" but with some recordings or some kind of TT generated vibrations even coming from speakers could be some " trouble ". Maybe never will appear that " trouble ".

With the Soundsmith both tonearms mate well.

Thank you Raul. I was having problems finding the compliance measurement for the SoundSmith Sussurro ES.
