| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @neonknight For your heavy unsuspended table, try to find an S level or better HRS platform. They isolate below 8 - 15Hz with the correct footers. There are a fair amount of them available used if you are not convinced and they are not ugly. In... | |
| Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ?? @jc51373 The P10 works well in his vintage Marantz tube system. The Atlas works on his P10 without the need to alter the VTA. He also uses an HRS isolation platform under the P10. | |
| Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ?? I think both are great tables. Neither are head and shoulders better that the other. But if you like to change things gradually over time, you want to be able to try different arms or carts, then Kuzma or Feickert, no question about it. I have a... | |
| Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs How about a before and after scanning electron microscopy image? View the “damage”? | |
| Stylus gauge recommendations ? The Riverstone measures VTF very close to the level of a record. Important for many tonearms. | |
| 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. |
