That 14" inch tonearm is one of the best things Franc Kuzma has created. You can be very very happy with the new Stabi M and a 14" Kuzma 4 point. Very very similar sounds! Mass loaded designs are really fantastic, but are particularly sensitive to setup (where you place them, vibration control etc.). I've lived with a Kuzma XL4 as well in a system that I know like the back of my hand. I own a Redpoint Model D (a very special one). Nothing really goes wrong with the table, but the peace of mind if not there. I would suggest AGAINST a Redpoint turntable as sales service from the Designer is non existent pretty much. This is the same type of sound inherent in the Redpoint Turntables. The sound becomes much bigger, wider, even more stable and much more endless on both sides of the frequency spectrum.
#Vpi avenger review upgrade
The Kuzma XL turntable might not be a bad way to go for you as it is an upgrade on the Stabi Reference you currently use. There are bad and good implementations of each. You probably have an idea about most of these things, but never hurts to read more about itġ) Mass loaded and suspended designs sound very different from each other. I'll splurge out SOME information and see if you can gather something useful out of it. However, how that fits into your direction, I'm still not clear about. Amazingly, I've pretty much heard all of them extensively to form an opinion (For myself!). Every single table mentioned in your post sound VERY different. They also pretty much take belt drive tables to their peak as far as I'm, I am seeing that you are being mentally pulled into many directions Not a bad thing to venture out and gather data, but not the state of mind where I would pull the trigger on any given turntable implementation.
Having heard the One and Two, I personally found them to be some of the very few super-kilo-bux turntables worthy of the praise and hype they've commanded. Mainly because implementation is just as important-if not moreso-than a particular philosophy itself.Īdmittedly, I've always been one for clever suspension designs over pure mass loading in the past, though an experience with "dated" direct and idler drive turntable parts encased in over a hundred pounds of slate opened my eyes to the possibilities of sheer inert mass.Įdit: I have no doubt the Air Force III sounds sublime. I recognize the benefits of both, and honestly I have a hard time trying to articulate my preference for one over the other.
I'm drawn to the Stabi M's hybridization of suspension and high mass designs. Maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but. And the more I look at the VPI Avenger Reference, the more horrified I become LMAO. I'm not really a fan of the multi-tower look of the XL or the Redpoint line. yeah.Īlso personally speaking, I prefer the more "traditional" look and feel of the Stabi M. It's something I'm not ruling out entirely, but. The Stabi XL with new DC motor and additional towers would be a wee bit past what I'd like to spend.
