I have heard it with the Transfiguration on a system that was not mine and it sounded amazing (i think it was the then latest W version of the cartridge); I have the arm and use a Lyra Titan (i) which may not be everyone's cup of tea. In talking with the US importer, who recommended, among others, the London and the Dynavector, I also heard through his dealer that the Airtight cartridge has the lifelike virtues in which this arm excels. That may be my next cartridge.

I think one of the van den Hul Colibri series cartridges would work well. They are very low mass and high compliance. In a thread from last year, Mikelavigne noted that this cartridge outperformed the XYX Universe and Dynavector XV-1S with his Rockport linear tracking arm. The design of the Rockport arm and the Kuzma arm are very similar. |
Given the fact that the optimal cartridge weight should be less that 9 grams, I wouldn't think that the Lyra Titan at 12 grams, or the Dynavector XV-1s @ 12.6 grams, would be the best fit for this particular arm. All things being equal I would imagine that the Xyx cartridges at 5 grams or the VDH Colibri at 6 grams would work better. |
